Events!!

4-13-09 Shot by my friend Matty

Waves have been really fun lately and I have been surfing a lot. On the 23rd and 24th wedge was really fun and pretty good size just not that great of shape but I didnt really care since there were some sick ones coming in. My friend and photographer Pez got a cool big invert sequence of me, it might be a Wave Rebel ad hopefully(my first one ever!!)

James Larson was back in town and hasnt been in the water for a while, but was getting some big ones. His wetsuit gave him the worst rash I have ever seen!!!


I locked my keys in my car cause I was wayy to siked up, lucky my friend Chris had AAA and helped me out!


AAA guy taking about 1 minute to open my door

On the 19th on the Northside of the Seal Beach Pier the Oahana day went down for the second time. It was a lot of fun and one of my sponsors Alternative Surf was helping sponsoring it. There were tons of giveaways from so many companies. I also did free bodyboarding lessons with a bunch of kids. It was a bunch of fun and hopefully you can make it next year!

Some of the tents before it got BUSY!

Signing some posters for the groms! A bunch of people that were at the event went to the shop and bought new boards, fins etc.. it was so cool to see

Zinka was all over the kids. Kirra "Miss A.S" repping haha

Rons muscles blow mine away for sure

On the 23rd Twitter and iGrandma put on an event at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas called "Put your body and a boogie and lets tweet" It was live on UStream the whole day. I stoped by to sign some posters and bodyboard with some of the groms and it was cool to see how hooked some of the kids get when they see somebody do an ARS its sooo sick! Also if you want to follow me on twitter here is my link; www.twitter.com/4jeremywright

Signing some stuff for the kids. My wetsuits from Bodyglove are AWESOME!

Finally the Seal Beach car show was on the 25th and was a lot of fun. Plenty of groms stoped by the shop and we all checked out all the classic cars it was sweet.

The cars were sick!

My friend Denis stoped by the shop and checked out the cars and the grom was loving the action

Back to the roots

I hope everyone had a really awesome Easter! The waves have been really fun lately especially on Monday the 13th. I surfed Wedge for about 10 hours total. My first session was 8 hours straight. I took a nap in my van and chugged a bunch of water and booked it back to the line up for another 2 hours! I always try and surf as much as possible when there are good waves at home because the swell always seems to come and go haha
On wednesday the 15th I got to go down south and meet up with my new sponsor RXYM team manager Matt Byzak. Matt is getting into photography and has been submitting a lot of his stuff to surfline and is getting lots of views! He also has a really good competitive background in the bodyboarding scene. The waves were not that good at all that day but its always nice to be at the beach. The current was actually pretty crazy but a good workout. Matt wanted to run a few practice heats since it wasnt good for shooting photos. The practice heat was so much fun! It reminded me of my friend Mark Klein and all the practice heats we would run. I wounded up winning but only in the last 3 minutes! The win got me a free meal which I was stoked on! Matt also let me borrow some older bodyboarding videos till the next practice to keep me amped and so I can see some footage that I never saw! Cant wait to watch the videos like 10x each! yeww

Reaping the reward of the fun practice heat


Boogie videos! VHS style

Yesterday I got word that my favorite spot Seal had some small, clean, glassy waves so I shot down there as fast as I could. It was nothing epic at all but it was so cool to catch up with some of the older bodyboarders that have been surfing there forever and always encouraged me guys like Chuck, Perez, Denis, etc.. There are so many up and coming bodyboarding groms in my neck of the woods and are out there every single day. I love surfing with them and giving them advice and keeping them motivated to kill it in the water and at school. It is crazy to come back from a trip and see how much better everyone gets! It is really encouraging for sure! One of the kids had a water camera so after I was out for a while I thought I would take some shots for them. I think a few came out pretty sick.

One of the many up and coming groms Ryan! He got like 20x better from the last time I saw him three months ago, hes getting his rolls and spins down! Good job buddy NOW DO YOUR HOMEWORK!! haha

GoPro test #1

I have been surfing lots of fun waves around home with my friend Bryan Washburn which has been fun. Pretty much double sessions daily. Nothing epic or big but just super playful, clean conditions and the most beautiful weather imaginable! Yesterday I got to go up north to try and surf with my coach Jacob Reeves and Jimmy. We checked spot after spot after spot it was kind of a let down. Jacob is writing a book right now so decided to go back home and work on that while Jimmy and I decided to try out his new Gopro wide camera. The thing is so sick! It is really lite weight, small, and just epic! I think it is a great way to relive a session and can be really helpful to remember your waves that you had too. I really want to get one and am glad Jimmy let me try his out. I hope I can try it out in good waves that be sweet! The waves werent anything special but its just like anything new you get you just want to use it right away!
He made a quick edit for my youtube page that I am going to try and update more frequently. Hope you like it.

My Dads 50th!!

Waves have been pretty small in my neck of the woods lately but I have still been getting out there everyday even a few times a day just trying to improve on my small wave skills. When the waves are small I usually try and Youtube comps in brazil to see all the brazilian bodyboarders kill it in the gutless surf and that usually works best for me.
My website guy and friend Milo invited me to play some ultimate frisbee on saturday and it wounded up being an awesome workout with lots and lots of running! There are guys that are really into it and absolutley kill it! Our team didnt win a game but we sure did put up a fight and got some scores on the board haha
