Cody Thompson and Carl Rosen

What’s rad about this video is the way Cody talks about his feelings for the Jacksonville area, not to mention the clips are absolute fire. But, we listen to him talk about growing up with his father right on the beach while we see a vision of the famous Jacksonville pier. We also hear him mention that his brother lives just down the road from where he lives.  It’s cool, because it’s sort of how I think a lot of people grow attached to the place they live and the waves they surf. Love from caregivers during youth plays a pivotal role in our attachment for surfing, and the waves and places we associate with that love.

Skim Surfing

In this latest edit three activities were combined, well, four different activities into one video. Along the white sand beaches of the gulf coast of Florida we’ve been surfing, fishing, skimboarding, and “skim-surfing.” On this small day of surf, and what was a good day of skim, John really impressed onlookers with his creative new use for a fun shape surfboard. The spring-time had a few fun days of surf this year, plenty of fun days of skim, and the fishing was steaming hot.
