Support Eddie

Click HERE to read about Eddie Solomons story and PLEASE help support him and make a donation. I haven't made a donation as of today yet but I have been saving tips from work each day and will be able to give on Tuesday July 5th. It is not as much as others are able to give but it is something and that little something will help.
Eddie is strong individual and has encouraged me in many ways since I the day I have met him. He has great support from family and friend. He will beat this.

IBA SIC event! Winnys a Winner

The Shark Island Event went off this year! Dave Winchester won.
I had to work all day so I had a bunch of people keep me up to date on the event. One of my best friends Timmy Hamilton had his money on Winny from the beginning and kept me up to date on the event while I was at work.

My board sponsor Wave Rebel have been experimenting with new material for there bodyboards for years. I have been sampling the goods all the way until I got hurt. Now that I am back in the water they sent me a new board that looks really good! I can't wait to read Tamegas feedback on this batch because I am pretty sure it is money!

Back out there!

I have been getting back in the water but at no rush. My back is still sensitive and I am in NO hurry to get re-injured. I have created a better work out and yoga regime which starts on monday which I am excited for but is going to take a lot of time and discipline but will definetley help my performance so I don't have to be so afraid of getting hurt again.
I am really happy to be back in the water and just wanted to thank everyone for the positive encouragement and all the support!
Photo was taken by Ross Fletcher thanks man!!

Graduation!

US Open of Bodyboarding

The USBA US open is on LIVE today and will most likely be finishing up on Saturday. If you have time check out on the south side of the Huntington Beach Pier.

Also be sure to read the article in the HB newspaper on the event and why I was not able to compete. Click HERE.

Here are some quotes they used from me.

One local pro bodyboarder who won't be in the water this weekend, however, is Jeremy Wright. Wright grew up in Long Beach and still lives there, but he suffered a back injury while bodyboarding at the Wedge in Newport Beach seven weeks ago and only got back into the water again this week after treatment.

Wright, 24, ranked No. 9 on the USBA Tour last year, but instead of participating this weekend, he'll be relegated to serving as a commentator on the event webcast at usbatour.com/live.

"I slipped my L4 disc," Wright said. "It was no joke. I almost broke my back."

Wright, though, will be in good spirits this weekend. He's graduating from college Saturday with a degree in business management from the online college University of Phoenix.

Wright has made education a priority in his life, going back to getting a 4.0 GPA at Millikan High School. It's a common theme on the USBA Tour, as Jeff Hubbard has a master's degree in international business from Hawaii Pacific University.

"I don't know if there is anybody in the surfing association who even went to college," Wright said. "Jeff travels nine months a year and he got his master's. Dave has his BA, and I have my BA. For me, it's a benefit that you don't get everything handed to you in this sport. I've had two jobs ever since high school."

He still holds two jobs now outside of his bodyboarding efforts, by day as an assistant marketing director and by night as a valet.

Nothing against surfers, though. He's a surfer himself.

"I surf all the time," Wright said. "But I bodyboard when the waves are good. There are things that you can do that are insane. I'm really acrobatic, athletic and flexible, so I can do some crazy stuff.

"I had a lot of friends in high school who were bodyboarders, so that made it cool. We had a surf team and my first year we had five bodyboarders and I took first in the state, and I won five or six amateur titles. I've always been surrounded by bodyboarders. It's just a lot of fun."
