Jack’s Surfboards Transworld Surfing AD August 2010
Goals For This Year:
Make the top 100 and Qualify for the Triple Crown. I also want to go on some free surf trips for photos/video and to work more on fine tuning my surfing. I want to be the best I can possibly be and continue to enjoy what I get to do. I also plan on getting some clips for that Taylor Steele project, Innersection.tv.
Besides surfing, I’m in the process of starting a Clean Water Project. Our goal is to give out recycle bins/containers so people can throw their used plastic water bottles in. Then we pick up the plastic bottles and take them to the recycle center to get either 5/10 cents for them. We take that money and donate it to reliable organizations in order to build wells or help some way in keeping our ocean and water clean/accessible. We get clean water, they get clean water.
Schedule of Events (for the next two months):
June 5th Freedom Artists Surf Series Pro Am Zuma Beach, California
June 14th- June 24th Nicaragua Surf Camp/Photo/Film Trip
July 16th- July 23rd Puerto Escondido, Mexico. Quiksilver WQS 4 Star Event
July 31st- August 8th Huntington Beach, California. Hurley U.S. Open 6 Star Prime Event
