Headed North Surf Roadtrip up the West Coast // Ep. 1-5

Headed North surf road trip and film | Gearminded.com

Episode 1

It seems more advantageous on our part to go the other way… Down…Southbound. To lands where the tacos and beers are cheap, where the sun seemed less apprehensive. But we weren’t, we chose the colder route, we were headed against the grain…North. Our makeshift crew sought out a little excursion up the coast, neoprene clad, to sample what the west coast’s pristine seaboard had to offer. Before we packed into our northbound van, we thought it shrewd to stretch our legs in the sea.

Episode 2

With small surf in the forecast, we sought some jet-powered assistance and found a few fun ramps up the coast. Famished by our aquatic adventures, our friends took us in to teach us the art of donut making. We washed that down with sunset glass off session to close out a glorious day!

Episode 3

We arrived into the dense fog of the Golden State’s Northern Coast. After surfing the eerie sand banks of Santa Cruz, we headed east to get in touch with our wild sides. We through hatchets, we strung bows and we harnessed fire… Just when we thought things could not get any better, we rolled up to the smiling faces of the City Project, where we learned that giving is truly better than receiving!

Episode 5

Smiling seemed to be a common action on this journey.  But waves are known to do that to you, and we had, had our share of them over the past week. Voyaging over the Washington border into the Evergreen State, felt something of an accomplishment.  It had been 5 days on the road, 3 states traveled through and over 1,000 miles traveled. Our final stop on our journey delivered a wave-rich coast and action behind a boat.
