I Expected Too Much from You, 2022

I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed, 2022. It’s been a year…for all of two months. 2022 has reared its psychotic head to the tune of minimal swell and maximum stress, which is why there’s been a real gap in blog posts (sorry). Grad school, day job and relationships have amounted atop my back and relentlessly […]

Product Review: WoodRoze Sunglasses

The primetime summer sun may be slipping away from the western hemisphere, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still protect those peepers from those sunny winter days to come. Random hot and sunny days are a thing in SoCal and your eyes deserve more than last year’s scratched up Oakley’s floating around in that sandy […]

Surfers and Ocean Enthusiasts Grounded as Largest SoCal Oil Spill in Over a Decade Covers Coast

Until then, soak up this monsoon-y weather, these manic water temps and double check your cute ‘kini […]

The water had to be at least 60 degrees—nothing new for Southern California at this time of the year, but balmy by comparison from […]

Product Review: Surf Soap

Ah surf, sand, salt and summer sun! Sounds like sunny lyrics to a saccharine summertime song, right? Or maybe a not-so-sweet au natural exfoliate and dehydrator. There’s a reason why people often label their attitudes (especially post-break-ups) as “salty.” Want to avoid turning into a human prune with a salty ‘tude to boot this summer? […]

Q&A: Surf Soap CEO Kayla Pearson Confesses

More and more women are stepping into the forefront of entrepreneurship and business leadership, and though it’s a small but mighty percentage, it’s an even smaller and mightier percentage to be a momma, surfer and a woman entrepreneur. Kayla Pearson, founder and CEO of Surf Soap, reps this killer trifecta: woman entrepreneur and business leader, […]
