All is quiet at the Hurley True Performance House in Bali right now. Quiet, peaceful, like a calm before the next storm. Kekoa Cazimero just left last night. Kalani Robb bailed a couple of days ago. And now video whiz Tom Aiello is there alone, logging all his stellar footage from the first half of the season.
He better work fast, because as we type this, Hurley's best up-and-comers — including Conner Coffin, Evan Geiselman, Christian Saenz and Jake Halstead — are on their way and ready to mix it up. Stay tuned. The final two weeks at the Hurley True Performance House could be ones to remember.
Timmy Curran reports on the funnest event in North County
This past weekend I was invited to play and surf in the 5th Annual Switchfoot Bro Am in Encinitas. I was blown away at how much it has grown since I played it 2 years ago. The Bro Am is a benefit that gives money to Stand Up For Kids, which is a foundation for homeless kids in the San Diego area.
It was the perfect beach day weekend with head high+ surf, sunshine and the water was almost as warm as Bali. Those guys all surf so good and it was a pleasure to be on their team. The surf contest is really exciting because it is a 4 man team event and each team has 30 min to go out and catch 1 good wave, and then catch another decent wave switchfoot. It's hilarious watching everyone catch waves switchfoot and try and get a score, I know my 2 switchfoot waves in our heats were not so easy on the eyes.
In the middle of our heat I was called to go on stage and play my set which only is possible at the Bro Am. I don't think I have ever been still wet from surfing a heat while playing a show in front of thousands of people. It was such a great event and I was honored be a part of such a great day that is giving back to the community and the homeless. — Timmy
