WANDER

As it turns out, We’re heading off on a six-month walkabout!

We will be shaing our wanderings on: Ezra’s surf journey, MoFlo in Baja, sending Eyala off to college, river & great-lake surfs, hot springs, podcasting, seeing old friends & family — and whatever unfolds along the way — as we work + play remotely through Switzerland, about 10 states in th eUS, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Portugal.

We’ll share the highlights here —
but follow along on Substack for the real-time ride.

AS WE GEAR UP:

We just bought Ezra’s tickets for the World Class Surf Academy — whoot whoot!

This happened through a room full of people, a raffle & surf doccie night, and a whole lot of generosity. Cape Town showed up!

We’re now rallying for the final stretch — boards, travel, and all the extra bits that get him there.

A few small thank-yous as we go:

• Under $100 → Keep the Kids Salty stickers
• Over $100 → Stickers + magnets
• Over $250 → Stickers, magnets + mug

The poster lives on!: an ode to incredible raffle + surf documentary night — huge thanks to everyone who contributed! We were able to buy Ezra’s plane tickets after this event!
