Jeremy Wright: June 2010

Wild Rivers, Board Art by Jorge and Flat times

My team manager for RXYM Matt Byzak invited me to the In N Out company picnic at Wild Rivers! I had a blast going on all the water rides, ride some chlorine waves and eat In N Out burgers like they were free...ohh ya they were! yeww

Siking on my BODY BOARD wrist band

Love In N Out

I got a few new boards that look INSANE! I haven't got to use them in real waves or pretty much anything but they look like they are going to work AMAZING I just can't wait to get to ride them! My friend Jorge is a super talented artist so I asked him to do some board art on my new boogies. I based the design off of the quote from the only T.V show I watch Friday Night Lights. The quote is "Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, CANT LOSE!" He made an eyeball, with a heart and a number one in it! I am super stoked on his design! Thanks Jorge!

Artsy

The waves have been small and even flat at times. I have been staying active by doing my Bikram class, bike rides, running and swimming. I also have been getting in the water every day bodyboarding and longboarding.

It's pretty much flat but still some waves here and there to ride... kind of haha

I have known my friend Jess since elementary school. He is still long boarding and still ripping! So stoked I get to go with him and learn how to ride that fiberglass log

Ron Ziebell let me borrow a few old school VHS bodyboard vids to stay amped while the waves are taking a break

Happy Fathers Day and cruising with Brett Curran

This year I was home to celebrate Fathers day with the number one dad in the WORLD my Dad! Anybody who has every met him, or stayed at my house will tell you how supportive and epic my Father is. Thank you for everything Dad!! My brother Jason is also a dad and soon Emma will be having child number two! It is definetley exciting times at the Wright Place!
My good friend Brett was home for a while. Since the waves weren't that good and I am in training mode we decided to do Bikram Yoga everyday, beach workouts, ocean swims and I even bought a long board since its been super small.

Wave House and Fun waves

A couple days after the US Open I got to go to the flow rider in San Diego with my friends Glen Sullivan, Nick Ormerod, Jones Russel, Shea Sevilla, Nick Seymour, Evan Deverian and World Champ stand up flow guru Wesley Fisher! We all had a blast and I was so sore the next few days but it was worth it. All Action shots taken by Shea Sevilla!! Thanks for Shea!

Long Beach Magazine Style Profile

I got to be featured in the June issue of the Long Beach Magazine in the Style Profile section. Breanne Toepper did a great job writing the article and coming up with the awesome questions! The talented photographer Jeff Farsai took a sick portrait shot for it to. My clothing sponsor RXYM Fashion came to the shoot to show some support and made a quick behind the scenes video to. Remember to go to the RXYM store and BUY and SUPPORT there stuff its amazing!!! A bunch of people have been asking about what sunglasses I am wearing and they are KREEDS of course! You can pick up the issue at any Barnes and Noble or Border in Long Beach so be sure to grab one!

US Open of Bodyboarding weekend

The US open of bodyboarding took place June 4th to the 6th. Days leading up to it were crazy and fun. I had so many different people stay at my house, numerous LAX pick ups and never a dull moment. I wounded up getting equal 17th, one of my worst results since I have been on tour but I can honestly say that the lost has given me more motivation and drive than I have ever had. The feeling of losing in front of family, friends, and sponsors is not a good feeling. I know I didn't train enough leading up to the event with everything that I had going on with work, school and life. That is still NO excuse but If I get a result like that I want to know I atleast was the most prepared. With that being said I can not be any more STOKED for my good friend Jacob Romero who won his first USBA contest and is off to a great start for the US tour this year. Congrats!! Below is some of the activities that went down that weekend. All photos below were shot by Alex Verharst thanks Alex!

Fun waves and Kevin Jenkins Graduates

During the week that my best friend Kevin graduated the waves were pretty fun. I am soo stoked for Kevin to be done with school. He is the one who got me into bodyboarding and has always pushed me in everything that I do. Now that he has graduated and is finished with school that same desire to meet my own goal and finish my school in January is more focused than ever! Thank you for all the motivation KJ!!
