Thanks to Jamie for this last one.
I was back in New York this past weekend. A very special few days, and one incredible night on Saturday.

First Night Away
September 28th, 2010 by ben
Cad and I had our first night out without Eleanor. It was also our first trip to the Greek Theater, somewhat surprising given that we’ve been here six years (which is shocking in and of itself!).
Huge thanks to Heather and Anthony for looking after Eleanor while we were out!

Sayulita 02.09
February 19th, 2009 by ben
We just spent a week in Sayulita with Steve Selwood, Clea Karlstom, their son Tyler, and Dan Shivone. It was a reunion of sorts. Way back in 2002, Steve, Dan, Caddie and I spent a week driving around Baja. It was an amazing time, we’ve talked about getting back together somewhere ever since. Seven years later we finally did, and this time around Clea bagged work to join us. It was another great week; 2-3 surf sessions a day, movie nights with our DVD projector, and one tequila-fueled argument with a very vocal Mexican woman during the US-Mexico soccer game (for the record, I was right). Already looking forward to reunion trip #3, somewhere well inside of seven years from now.
Happy New Year!

Sea Surfboards
September 23rd, 2008 by ben
Our friend & colleague Karen Yung is spending a few months in New Zealand and Australia. Karen just recently made the jump from NZ to Byron Bay, Australia, where she came across Sea Surfboards. Wow. Up until just now there was a special place in my heart for Gato Heroi boards. That special place just got a little crowded. It took all of a few seconds on the Sea Surfboards site to fall in love. Based solely on what I’m seeing online I think I have a new favorite line of boards.

How do you sum up the two weeks that we just had? I’m not sure that you can, or that I can anyway.
It was so much fun to watch Sayulita slowly fill up with friends and family in the week leading up to the 21st. As for that Monday evening – I knew it would be intense, emotional, and amazing. I had no idea just how much so. The entire week was incredible. I couldn’t take a timeout and let myself nap (or get a full night’s sleep). I just didn’t want to miss a thing. One of my favorite parts of that second week was running into everyone as we walked into and around town or after we’d paddled out into the lineup (I think Adam and Ben P. are still out there).
Thank you again to everybody who traveled all the way to Sayulita – and to those who pitched in and helped out in one way or another.
We’ll be going back often…hope to see you all there at one point or another. April ’09 anyone? If so we should plan now (I’m not kidding).
