Had a beautiful night with Lauren test shooting for full moon surfin’. I’ll add more
later possibly. There are some others on her site as well as some amazing creations
from her and Daniel Florez from the next night on the true full moon.

Today I tried stand up paddle boarding with Lauren for day two of 31 Days/31 Ways. It has gained a lot of popularity recently but is not the most respected activity in the surfing spectrum. It’s easy to make fun of things like this until you’ve tried it and made a complete fool of yourself. Suffice it to say that standing up on a relatively unstable surface having your hands occupied with a paddle is challenge enough. Add to that maintaining balance while catching a wave and you’ve got a pretty humbling but hilarious experience. We spent rest of the day making this loverly video for your viewing pleasure.

31 Days of Surfing at Mer Sea Beaucoup
My friend Lauren Hill at Mer Sea Beaucoup is going to surf every day in October with various friends and equipment. She’s been spreading joy and surf stoke all around since I’ve known her and this endeavor just continues with the trend . I’m going to be helping her document this extravaganza. Good luck Lauren!

Finally, my friends found tar balls on our beach the other day. Pretty sad…Lauren has been doing some good documentation of it over at merseabeaucoup. Her video:
