Brown-legged brothers Buji and Miguel go on a summer surf trip down SoCal 

joined by their other brown legged and not so brown legged friends.

It's amazing how surfing can bring people with all sorts of leg hues together.

Thanks for watching.

a coasty weekend

Friends from town took the 5 hour trip to the northern coast of La Union to share a coasty weekend. Ian Zamora introduces some ultra fun hand-crafted ocean sliders from Cali while Carla Rowland shows friends how to dance on water as a golden sun sets on golden peeps. 

Good times. Good vibes.

Thanks for watching!

a coasty weekend: waves for water

Waves for Water is a non-profit organization that works on the front-line to provide clean drinking water to communities in need around the world, working with world leaders and strategic partners who take a no-nonsense attitude toward making global change.

Waves for water provides water filtration kits that can be easily attached to water containers which could provide clean drinking water to up to a hundred people each day.

Carla Rowland

As part of the "Waves for Water" cleanwater advocacy, Ian Zamora & Carla Rowland along with the Coast Thru Life crew and with the help of LUSC and the Provincial Government of La Union, headed by Governor Manuel C. Ortega, provided Waves for Water filtration systems and water containers to select local communities in La Union.

Big thanks to our good friend Jeff Ortega
and the Provincial Government of San Fernando
for the support and for providing us
with the Water Buckets

Water from the village deep well is now safe to 
drink. No more need to buy daily drinking water.

1 Waves for Water Filtration Kit = Clean Drinking Water + Savings for a lot of people.

Thank you so much Ian Zamora, Carla Rowland & Christian Troy for bringing Waves for Water to our shores. :)

lovely ladies Bri Manglapus, Carla Sebastian & Lorraine Lapus

Carla gave a sunset coaching session for intermediate surfers and shared valuable tips from warm up exercises, proper cross stepping and nose riding. For the ladies, she even shared some secrets on how to look confident and gorgeous in and out of the water. (Ex. paddling to the line-up while keeping your hair dry.) Everyone was tuned in as this blonde-haired blue-eyed surf goddess shared her surfing wisdom.

all eyes & ears on Carla

like I said, goddess.

even Ocean was there to support! 

Thank you Carla for sharing so much to us.
 Listening to you truly showed us what true long boarding is all about :
 Style, composure, glide, going with the flow, and just havin' fun on every wave.
