Local Spot and I bought a Video Camera

On Saturday I got to go to go a spot that I grew up bodyboarding since I got started on the boog. It wasn't the best or all time but it was fun to surf so close to home and with so many friends that I have grown up going to the beach with.

Thanks for the photos ron

My friend Milo is one of the most creative people I know! He also does my website and came down to get some clips of me bodyboarding

Billy Jack enjoying some Spider!

My friend Fitz car got towed while we were at Tim's BBQ :( Not good!

I have wanted a video camera for FOREVER!! I have been researching which kind to buy and my friend Timmy helped me with my decision. So when I got home from the beach today I went out and bought one! I am so excited to film how I am surfing so I can make improvements and be able to make edits from some fun sessions with my friends and peers!

Wabash session, Spider drinks, Thanksgiving and Session with Coach

On tuesday I got to catch up with my friends Brian and Daniel Washburn. The waves were small but we always make the most of the conditions.

Small waves

Wednesday I met with my energy drink sponsor Spider with Russel. I got a bunch of drinks and the plans they have for 2010 are awesome!

I got to hook up my best friend Kevin with some SPIDER
Check out this energy drink review that they just got written on them right HERE

Thanksgiving at the Wright house was soo good! We had so much food and some family got to come over! We also went bowling after and I got pretty owned... I even lost to my sister in law emma! Next time will be different for sure! haha

My favorite thing about Thanksgiving

Jason has skills

On Friday I went up North to meet up with my coach Jacob Reeves. The waves were good and I got to surf a few different spots. I got 7 hours of water time and it was so much fun.

We didn't have a photographer with us so here is a drawing my friend made me a while ago haha

New Bodyboard Mag, fun waves, and a longboard session?

The new BODYBOARD magazine issue #16 just came out! You can look out it online for FREE
Wave Rebel did an ad of me that was shot by Bryan Pezman from the Wedge. I also got a small shot in the Alternative Surf ad.

Yesterday the waves were really fun. It wasn't big where I was but just perfect conditions. Glassy all day. I got two sessions in and saw so many of my friends. It is crazy when you are gone for so long how people change. There were some groms that I would always see on the weekends little skinny kids that just loved to bodyboard. I saw them yesterday and they werent so skinny or small anymore! They grew up and are all now wrestling and are 200+pounds! It is cool to see that they are still really stoked on bodyboarding and trying there best to stay out of trouble which is really hard for most kids. I stoped by AS to see how the shop was looking and saw my friend Jeff Watts working!!! This is BIG news and will be a separate blog but I am really excited! I worked up a big appetite and headed to the my church for their Thanksgiving feast. I haven't eaten that much in a long time and the dessert table was on a new level haha

The waves were small today and look small for the next few days. I got to go longboarding with Seal Beaches very own Rick. Rick has traveled a lot in his days and I love all the stories of his crazy adventures. I also love hearing about all the stories from back in the day about Seal. I dream about some of the stories that the old school guys have shared with me throughout the years.

Such a fun board. I also landed one of my best floaters today. Waves were like chest high but really clean and glassy

Running with Nick O and Bobby K and I shooting with RXYM

While I was traveling I was talking with my friend Nick O and getting information on his training and what it takes to do triatholons since that is something he is really into. The more and more information I got the more excited I became thinking it might be something I could get into. Nick invited to go on an "easy" run with him on Thursday which was close to 10 miles. (He usually runs 20 miles) The run was uphill, donwhill, on the street, and in the mountains. I was kind of hesitant at first since I never run that much but the idea of pushing myself got me to amped to talk myself out of it! I don't remember the name of the place we went but it was close to his house and the scenerary was spectacular! We ran non stop for 1 hour and 10minutes. My legs at the end were tired and tight. I was stoked that I kept up with him and did it all without stopping! We then had a bunch of fruit and a big meal. Santa Ana winds were in effect and we headed to his local beach and surfed for a couple hours. My friend Matty Meyer also came out and got some sick waves. All in all it was a great day and when I got home I did my HW and went straight to bed.

Such a nice day!

Some waves

Matty!

Coming home was a breeze!!!

While I was sleeping that night I got a text from RXYM owner Ray Machodo to be at his house at 6am (friday) so we can get some footage for the RXYM video "This is the End" and to get a hold of Bobby Kitchart. I was exhausted from the run, the surfing and driving I did that day but still called Bob. I heard how pumped he was to get some clips at he got me pumped. The morning came fast and bobby and I left my house at 5am. We surfed down south and went to two different spots. We both got a few usable clips and got to watch the footage at rays house. We had a big lunch and I also got the new RXYM hoodies. Bobby slept on the way home and I enjoyed listening to so random radio stations.

The waves were fun!

Lots of photo's going on right now for the RXYM twitter update

The owner of RXYM Ray Machado did all the driving after we met at his house.

A breast cancer walk was going down that day. I think they were walking 24 miles in 3 days. Really good cause

Bobby got a present from the city of Long Beach :(

Back home and loving it

I got back home on November 12th and since then every thing has been full on but amazing. My parents and I got to babysit my niece for the weekend. I have been able to catch up with so many of my friends. The waves have been very small like unridable on a longboard kind! So I have been training a lot, from swimming, biking, running, light weights, stretching, my own personal workout and racquetball! It has been fun because a lot of people want to do all these activities to so it is a great motivating tool. Like last night I went to swim some lapse. I updated my status on my twitter and facebook and invited whoever. I thought maybe one person would show up since its pretty cold but NO WAY! 11 people showed up to swim! It was sick! We took all the lanes since there was a tournament going on and a water aerobic class. We all had a blast and it was great to see people stoked on getting in shape. For me it is great because it will motivate me to keep going since it is so easy to talk yourself out of exercising when it is cold.
Every day has been jam packed and I didn't write 99% of what has been going on but I have been having the best time being home and am so happy!! The only thing to make it even better is there to be waves and for kylie to get her midterms done so I can hang out with her. Then things will be ALL TIME!!

Cassia and my fins

Also BIG CONGRATS to my friend Jeff Yusa! Jeff just won a photo contest on surfline and him and his fiance get to go to Hawaii and stay at turtle bay for free! Jeff took a shot of me that was ran in a newspaper article a few months ago. Read about and check out the photo here

Puerto Rico is FUN!

The amount of stuff that I get to do in a day here is crazy! I wake up at 5am and don't get to bed till 11pm earliest. From surfing our brains out, training, doing homework at night, being a tourist, eating like crazy and Babby knowing every person in Puerto Rico there is no time for rest. We always get invited over for food, hang out or anything. Every day is a new adventure and so much fun!
Monday we finally got some waves which I was stoked on. Babby took me to one of his favorite waves. We surfed it with just us and one of his friends out for a few hours. There were some ramps and barrels everywhere. No one was filming cause it was raining but the memory will be in my head forever. We then went to a shorebreak spot and I got to see my friend Joe Grodzen from cali.

The waves before we got out there. My point and shoot camera :)

Driving to the shorebreak spot in the rain

Yesterday our friend PJ invited us to use the Jet Ski again to get a few clips. The waves were not the best for it but we all managed to get a couple fun ones! We went to get gas and some stuff happened to the trailer so we had to stay at the gas station for a few hours waiting for it to get fixed. It was great for me because I got to read and finish my Pete Maravich book! Maravich was a freak in basketball and had the best work ethic of his time! Once the trailer got fixed we booked it back to get a few more waves. I didn't get to go again but it was all good just watching my friends BOOST off every section. We came in at night and trying to get the ski on was such a mission but we did it.

Going to the zone

Jorge got the biggest and best airs for sure and captured it with his helment camera to!

This is Pistol Pete! (I just started a new book today more info coming but its sweet and it fits in my board shorts pocket!)

Today was probably my favorite day of my trip! Babby and i got three sessions in, clocked in a lot of water time and got to surf by our self the whole time!!! The waves were double overhead and no one out. It was kind of bizarre to me but a lot of the waves were closing out so it was not that inviting. I got pretty worked and hit the reef by not landing a manuver and cut my leg, babby cut his foot pretty bad. We got invited to go to some outer reef on his friends boat after our second session. I never ever have surfed a wave like the outer reef one in my life but it was a great experience. It would be this big wall, then a barrel, and if you got lucky it would then have this horseshoe lip coming at you and you just hit it! I only got one of the horseshoe ones but was so pumped!
The below shots are just with my point and shoot





I am leaving tomorrow and know I am going to miss this place a lot! I love bodyboarding all day and then hoping on the plane super exhausted. Thats the goal for tommorow surf my brains out and sleep on the plane! I can't wait to see my AMAZING family, killer friends, and Kylie!

This place is so sweet!! The clouds are amazing!

Babby hard at work. He has been BUSY finishing editing his new movie but I will be getting my clips and frame grabs tommorrow and will be sharing them when I get home!!!

Here is the teaser to his video!!

Also Spider has a section on there website on me! Check it out!

My clothing sponsor RXYM just did a HUGE update on the team! Check out what they wrote by clicking HERE
or just read below :)
"Jeremy "Right On!" Wright has done more stuff than we can name this year. Arguably the hardest working pro to come out of CA in a long time. He blogs, You-Tubes his adventures, tweets, facebooks, hustles and still has time to smile and sign a few autographs for the kids down at the beach. He won the Mexico specialty event, cashed his check and picked up a new health energy drink sponsor, Spider Energy Drink (like he needs more energy ;) Then, the following week, he got some epic boards shaped by Oceanside shaping legend, Jimmy Linville, stamped them with Wave Rebel and RXYM logos and booked his ticket to Puerto Escondido to film with Chad Stickney where he's been for over a month. Did we mention he also went to a far away island (that we cannot name) and filmed with Timmy Hamilton for his upcoming film... AND somehow found time to pass all his classes while re-doing his new website? Check it out at www.jeremy-wright.com and follow him at twitter.com/4jeremywright. Go JW."
