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.
Sammy made this board from scratch, using one of our raw blanks which is an undertaking in itself. The entire board is glassed with Kevlar using epoxy which means you can't hit it with the sander - if you do it's ruined. You pretty much only get one chance to nail it but luckily Sammy is a ninja. He made the fins himself, too. If you are in Puerto and see this board this summer say hi to Sammy, he'll be stoked!
'Dear & Yonder' is the title of an upcoming, all women surf film. Patagonia Surf Ambassador Liz Clark will be featured, with glimpses into her life aboard Swell, her surfing experiences at remote breaks and her quest to live a simpler life.

Came across this great video of Liz Clark on YouTube. It has a home-movie kind of feel to it, which is refreshing these days. The video gives you a glimpse of what its like to sail your boat to a remote atoll, find a wave, surf it and then do it all over again. Great music too.

In 1968, Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins set out to surf, ski and climb their way to Patagonia. The wild places they found later motivated them to protect the environment. Inspired by this journey, Jeff Johnson and Woodshed Films set sail on a voyage to South America to climb a mythical peak called Corcovado with Chouindard and Tompkins.

In response to the question of why people come out to the theater to see surf films, Steve Barilotti had a great response - "when you're together, you feel you're part of a family". As surfers, we all share a special thing - so let's remember to be good to each other.Our friend Nick, along with other kite boarders from Southeaset Alaska are organizing the 1st Annual Juneau Icefield Snowkite event. They are describing the event as "...a locally organized, back country, base camp style event that is meant to expand the possibilities of wind travel and freestyle kiting in the snow."
A quick stop (for rehydration) after an all night drive and throwing a few coins to the roadside shrine to ward off flat tires. Just another ??? miles of Mexico's finest dirt road and you're home free, until you try to get home.
