Through the fading orange light ahead, I could make out a hairpin turn buffered by precarious tree stumps. “Mora, mora!” -Slow, Slow! I yelled. The urgency in my voice registered this time, but it was too late. The driver slammed on the brakes, and our slide commenced. His elbows and knees drew into an optimistic tuck to shoot the gap. I weighted onto my left foot, swiftly elevating my right up toward the heavens, and said a prayer. The stump passed inches beneath my leg, slamming the foot peg with a crack that split the thick jungle air. The bike spun clockwise in a full rotation, ejecting me over the edge of the blind embankment.

I landed flat bellied with a wind-removing slap and began a high-speed mudslide into the darkness below...

I’ve been fortunate to have gone on some wild adventures spanning many continents, countries and climates over the years. Head over to the @drinkmudwtr website or follow the link in bio to read a short story about one that nearly ended in disaster, as well as a short list of travel essentials I bring on nearly every adventure. Enjoy!

The @b.w.r.a.g Surf Responder Online course is finally live!

Though B.W.R.A.G originated from the necessity to step up the level of safety in the big wave lineups, this course is geared towards surfers and ocean athletes of all levels and all abilities. Students will learn essential lifesaving skills and tactics from some of the world’s most experienced and accomplished watermen and waterwomen.

The course is broken down into eight modules: Ocean Risk Management, CPR/AED training, First Aid & Medical Interventions, Surf Break Analysis, Mindful Breathing & Energy, Management; Emergency Action Planning; Safety Equipment and Water Rescue.

Hearfelt gratitude to the entire @b.w.r.a.g team, and especially @zachdiionno, @wheresgabs, @kiradiionno @nmgnetwork for the tireless hours spent bringing this course to life and of course the original visionaries @deepwatersurf @danilocouto11 and @briankeaulana .

A recent rain, new swell, shift in the wind, and just enough time to paddle out and get one before it disappeared with the turn of the tide. The moments the elements align are often fleeting but the memories are not soon forgotten.

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!
