Beach clean up, Cobian, V-Duck and MSL interview

My friend and super good photographer Duane Uyeda invited me and my friend chase to help out with a beach clean up at seal beach. I never had the chance to take part in a official beach clean up and I was pretty stoked to be a part of one especially since it was a local one! The turn out was huge and Vans gave out a bunch of product and provided some awesome bagels! It was crazy the amount of trash that people collected but its good to know the beach is now that much cleaner!
Photobucket
Are you serious! We all gotta keep the beach clean! photo-Vans

Chase and I went down to support and represent for Alternative Surf

When I got home from the beach clean up the UPS guy just left and I got a cool package from the guys at Cobian! I was super stoked to get some new slippers especially since all my upcoming trips will be tropical!
Photobucket
My new sandals!!
Photobucket
How crazy is this, my first free pair of Cobians from when I was 17! The Drainos. I keep these things to remind me how stoked I was to get something for free and to not take anything I get for granted

Mike from 360 inc and I met up and I got to get a new pair of V-Duck fins! It is important to always have a back up pair of your gear incase you lose something. I love getting new fins they just feel so awesome!
Photobucket
My V-Duck fins! Every time I see them it reminds me of Tamega holding his pair when he won the CHILE contest! So sick

I got to do a quick interview for Music Saves Lives. Check out there site and be sure to support them! Here is a quote I took from there website "To create opportunities for people to save lives with simple contributions and to teach the facts about the effects of what they contribute to. We then bridge their efforts to something special related to music, musical artists and general entertainment."

Sport chalet event, board give away, and UP

Today started off good. I got to meet up with my friend and DK guru Brandon "Bru Man" Foster for a morning surf. Brandon is one of the most traveled bodyboarders in the world and he gives me the best advice for my career along with the best stories from the road. We went to wedge to shoot some video with Chad Stickney. Chad made Segergation one and two. You can buy them online at the Alternative Surf website. My first wave my hair was dry like this clip I saw of Robbie Crawford in a Rot video back in the day and when the wave spit my hair went completley wet it was pretty funny and can't wait to see it on film.

Brandon Foster checking out the new Riptide mag I got. Thank you Mike for sending it to me!!!

After our session we headed to a Sport Chalet bodyboard clinic for there employees to learn how to bodyboard and sell them! It is a cool event and you get to hang out with all these cool people and want to learn about bodyboarding. The employees are a lot of help and are always stoked to get in the water which is always refreshing. I couldn't stay the whole time cause I had to do a few things with the Mike from Wave Rebel for some future Wave Rebel stuff!!

My friend Jayden has got the boogie addiction lately and it was so cool to hear how into he is getting. I went to seal today to catch up with some old friends and I saw him there, he was rocking a super old beat up board. He lost his fins and was still stoked to just to be at the beach with his friends. He needed some new stuff and I was stoked I got to hook him up!
Photobucket
Jayden you got two in a half months till I see ya again so keep practicing and having fun!!!

Since I wont be home for Fathers day or my brother Jasons birthday I decided to take them out for some food and a movie. It was a epic time! Emma got to come to and we went to Deli news and got Pizza and saw the new movie UP. We got to see it in 3D and it was CRAZY! I definetley recommend it. Click this to see a preview of the movie.

We kept the 3D glasses from the movie! Stoked haha

It was a sad day at the Wright household on the 12th when the Detroit Red Wings lost there stanley cup at HOME! I have been a Red Wings fan since I was born cause that is where my mom was born and my dad loves hockey! That was un-heard of and my dad and I were super bummed with the end result
Photobucket
Devastated

I just added how many hours I surfed in the last seven days from the 10th till the 17th and I clocked 47 hours!!! Soo stoked. My friend Timmy Hamilton and I always try and out surf each other and its good to be in the water when the waves are good! My friend Mike D has been filming which is cool. Ray from RXYM did some video the last couple days too. Here are some shots from before the swell got big and after the swell left! I can not use super good shots for my blog or my sponsors or the magazines wont run them! So check future blogs for ads of me and shots from mags!!!

My first attempt of an invert to backflip inspired by the new Riptide magazine! This was shot by J-Brown and this is me coming down from the invert going to a backflip one shot of the sequence, almost landed it too! Another photographer sent me the whole sequence from the Jetty!

On the 16th I started my new online class. BUS 219 (a business class) at the U of P. I love online classes and how I am able to travel and still do school! This class has a lot of reading and work but I will be on the road and will most likely have a lot of down time to do it, which is perfect when I am not in the water!!

Today I got a package from Zinka in the mail. They sent me a bunch of sunscreen for my travels to Hawaii, Cook Islands, Australia, East Coast, and Mainland Mex! NO skin cancer for me!!!
Photobucket
I love the ZInka spray on!

Finally I got to meet up with my team manager Randy Nemchock from Kreed! They loaded me up with a bunch of sunglasses!! They have supported me for over 4 years now and they have the best sunglasses for the best prices!! Be sure to check out there website and support them!!!!

New Sunglasses!!!

I even got to get my sister in law some new CRUSH sunglasses!! Ladies support CRUSH!!

Dubb Interview, V-Duck, and Shoes

I did an interview with David Hubbard while he was staying with me for the US open of bodyboarding. Check it out.


I always experiment with all the product my sponsors give me and lately I have been tweaking out my V-Duck fins. My sister in law Emma is one of those people that are super smart and can figure anything out if she wants to. I gave her my idea with my fins and she conqured it! So awesome and now my fins are even more comfy then they came. If you don't like something you are using and you know a way to tweak it out give it a go!! When I was a grom I couldn't afford a new board and I really wanted bottom bulbs on my board cause I didnt have a strong grip. I improvised and cut my friends traction pad and made it into my own personal "traction bottom bulbs" It looked cheesy but it worked! If you ever tweaked some of your stuff and want to share it shoot me an e-mail at; surfingwright@gmail.com I would love to check it out and share it with everyone on the blog.

Almost done!

I also got new running and tennis shoes since I have been playing a lot of tennis and running five times a week! I have never owned a real pair of tennis shoes and I am soo stoked! My running shoes are the best. They make me want to run which is awesome!

Working on the Website and RXYM jeans!!

The waves have been pretty bad lately with very small conditions, but the next few days look pretty fun. Today the weather was really gloomy and on and off showers. I heard the loudest THUNDER hit right by my friends house, it was hectic and reminded me a lot of a time while I was in Costa Rica. I got a haircut with my aunt nancy since I was past due for one. I love going over there cause I get to see my cousin Audrey and how big she is getting! My aunt also has the coolest stories and is super funny! I also shot some photos with Bobby Brown for my website. He got some really good pictures and I am stoked on all the themes for the different pages and links for my new website.
