Almost one year ago I had the privilege of visiting Washington D.C. with over 150 @surfrider activists, ambassadors, staff and industry leaders and to meet with our federal leaders and discuss the risks our coasts and ocean are facing.

Though the social landscape has drastically changed in that short time and this year’s Coastal Recreation Hill Day will be virtual, the desire to urge our elected officials on Capitol Hill to support critical environmental legislation remains steadfast.

We have three Federal priorities in 2021 and the most urgent is taking action on climate change. From sea level rise to extreme weather events, climate change is having a devastating impact on our coasts and ocean. We are asking our federal leaders to ban new offshore oil drilling, support sea level rise planning, and to preserve blue carbon ecosystems which help store harmful greenhouse gases.

Please click the link in my bio to learn more, and take action today!

2020: Definitely a little messed up, awkward, and concerning at times but still enjoyable once you settled into the funkiness of it all. Big love to everyone as we move onward and upward into the new year.

Paddling out beyond the early morning crowd that had assembled, I looked shoreward and quickly identified the row of old growth pines up the valley. Standing tall, like wise elders, these trees had become steadfast guides over the years, helping me to orient in the expansive and shifting playing field. I adjusted my position, placing them evenly between the mountains behind and settled in to wait. Some call it stubbornness, and others wisdom, but unless a wave comes within a few feet in either direction of my lineup, I won’t try and catch it. Refusing to do so often results in hours of waiting. But time passes quick as senses are in overdrive scrutinizing each approaching wave looking for one that speaks to me, while simultaneously subduing nerves of excitement and fear with deep rhythmic breaths.

It is said that when you find true love in life, you just know. There is no doubt, but rather an existential knowing that you are meant to be with that person. Every so often, I have found that a big wave can carry this same energy; where on first sight, you know that it was meant for you. Two hours later, with a deep blue wall stretching from peak to channel, my wave arrived offering such a level of trust and confidence. Without reservation, I turned and paddled…

Is there a way down the cliff? Hike or paddle across? Is it just a distant mirage?
