FCD friend, Kyle, wants you to become more conscious of where your money is going. Not the money that you're spending but the money that you're saving in the bank.
A surf trip down to Chile, and a little investigating, helped Kyle to learn that the 6 month CD from his local mega-bank was funding the development of a coal fired power plant. Check out the video and learn what you can do to help.

Hey guys! I just finished NSSA Nationals at Salt Creek and Lower Trestles. The waves at Salt Creek for the first part of the contest were really bad but the thing that kept me going was that if I made it through a couple of rounds there I knew I could surf Lower Trestles with only four people out!

Lakey took down defending girls champion Courtney Conlogue on her way to a first place finish.
Here is some footage of Mercedes Mainana, the first woman to surf El Buey in Chile. It was also her first time towing into waves. A charger, for sure.
Dear and Yonder, a surf film profiling a diverse cast of water-women, kicks off a series of west coast dates tonight in Encinitas at the La Paloma Theater. The tour swings through Ventura on July 18th where Captain Liz Clark will be on hand to give a slide show, prior to the start of the film.
High school would have been WAY easier if we could have done this there, too.
After showing his film at surf communities up and down the west and east coasts, Thomas Campbell brought things back to where they started with a final showing of The Present at the Patagonia Cardiff store.
This film is now available on DVD so if you haven't had the chance to see it yet, pick up a copy and enjoy.
Keith, Bindy, YC and Dan. Nothing like looking over groups of Kangaroos to check the surf. Australia is pretty cool.
Gerry at Sacred Craft, he gave a shaping demo in thr Primo Beer booth. When he was doing this the tradeshow seemed empty. I think it was because everyone was crowded around the glass box watching and listening!
