FCA @ Segerstrom Highschool

Yesterday I got to go to speak at Segerstom Highschool for two lunch periods. I went with FCA's Tony Gomez and it was a blast! There were a bunch of kids and the teacher who had the huddle in his classroom Mr. Q use to bodyboard which was sweet! He was from the southbay and surfed all the spots in that area. The kids were all amped on this summer and are all going to try and bodyboard! Tony played a cool game with them all to get them psyched and Al the Youth Pastor at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa got to share and tell everyone about the event going on tommorow (friday) called the MOVEMENT. I will be going on Friday at 7pm with the WG crew and am looking forward to it! I got to share about my last contest and some really cool verses that I like. It was all good times!

Me, MR.Q, and pastor AL

The kids were sooo funny!!

During the game this girl caught two of the balls and got two people from the guys team out.

Signing some posters, I actually didn't bring enough and ran out!!!

This kid did the opening prayer

Coolest story, this grom had to use the bathroom and didn't have a pass so he asked me to sign him a poster and he wounded up NOT getting in trouble with his teacher! CLASSISC! haha

US Open of Bodyboarding weekend

The US open was this weekend and it was a lot of fun, here is a recap of the how it turned out.
On friday the 22nd I got to do a quick practice heat with Jeff Hubbard, Dubb, and D-Phil before the rider check in and I had a career heat and won which was sweet! We rushed to the rider check in at Sport Chalet in Huntington Beach. It is always a good time because you get to catch up with your friends and get amped for the contest. A bunch of my family and friends got to come out which was sweet!
Saturday was the event and the waves were about 2-4ft. I got to hang out under the RXYM tent and cruise with my dad at the event. I got 5th overall in the event. Here is a quote from the press release about my performance. "Jeremy Wright did all the “Wright” things up until the semi finals with a solid effort just missing his second final, losing to the on point Romero brothers."

After the event was over I got to go to a promo for the opening of a new shop in San Clemente for my clothing sponsor RXYM. Jeff Hubbard, Dave Hubbard and the RXYM team was there to do the signing and give out a bunch of stuff. Boards, clothes, leashes and everything else was raffled and thrown out!

Speaking

Each day after speaking I would go to the beach and hope the waves would be better and practice but it has been really tiny. The water has been really warm and I got to go to Bodyglove and pick up there new team short arm long leg suits. It is really stretchy and a great suit!! Be sure to to check them out!

Waves were bad, but it looks better for the contest this weekend

New suit and my small wave boards. The one on the left is a super wide and thick board JL made for me for tiny conditions.

On the 15th my friend and team mate Bobby Kitchart headed down to creek to meet with RXYM guys for a little session. We knew it was going to be small but when your with your friends out in the water it's usually always fun, especially since the water has been so warm. I even got up on a few stand ups on my boogie with my fins on, inspired by Dave Hubbard.

Bobby rides for AS too so he got to pick up some new gear which was sweet (click bobby's name above and watch his commercial!)

Matt even let me use his really expensive housing to get a water shot!!!

This shows you how small it was, and kind of has been lately. Not to motivating but it was glassy and I was with friends!

I neglected mowing the grass since the waves were fun for a while but my Dad knew that there was no swell so got me working outside haha My brother Jasons father in law also left back to Australia which I was bummed about because he knows fact's about everything, and I like asking questions to those kind of people to stump them!

My birthday, Mothers day, and Golfing

My birthday is on the 10th and this year it also happened to be on mothers day which was cool. I turned the double dueces 22! It was such an awesome day. We had the best breakfeast that my sister in law emma made. Everything from cinnamon rolls to fruit and these good chocolate and bannana muffins. All the guys went to play golf afterwards so I decided to watch a movie with just me and my mom. I seriously have the most amazing mom and it was cool just to be able to hang out with her. I had to do a pretty intense workout since I knew I was going to be eating my moms tacos! I only get them onea year and thats on my birthday, they are seriously the most amazing tasting tacos in the world! The family came over which was sweet because I got to open my presents!! I couldnt believe it but I got a new Macbook computer, I Pod shuffle, and Golf clubs! Are you kidding me, WOW I was soo stoked!
