East Coast Beach Day For Amor!

East Coast Beach Day For Amor!

Posted on Tuesday at 5:37

Jedidiah surfer Danny Cruden has a great way of introducing Amor to friends is to throw parties as described below. Read on and enjoy.

There is no greater way to celebrate summer in Florida than walking laps in an air conditioned mall, but a close second is throwing a beach day BBQ. Armed with Wal-Mart umbrellas and a trusty grill, we staked out our place in the sand for a day of sun screen, sand castles and abounding surf.

Above average waves provided the first few hours of activity. As you would expect, we stayed in the water till our appetites got the best of us. Around noon, we regrouped on the beach to eat our fill of Nathan’s hotdogs. From there, we set the grill aside and let the games begin.

The first event was a friendly game of football, which quickly turn into a winner take all game of 500. With an assorted 25 pack of Reese’s peanut butter snacks on the line, Rylan McCart looked to be etching his way toward victory. In the final moments, victory was snatched out of his hands by the younger mob.

Round two of competition was very competitive game of Knock Out. Once again, the entire Jedidiah team fell to the wayside at the hands of much younger contestants.

The last and final event of Simon Says was a test of pure strength and endurance. In the end, after numerous rounds, it was settled as all important things should be settled, Paper, Rock, Scissors. The victor, one Sean Daniels went home with the grand prize and a renewed sense of accomplishment.

The Summer BBQ was held to raise awareness about Amor and as part of Jedidiah’s continuing goal to foster community and hope.

Thanks Danny for thinking of such a simple way to share life with your community and spread the word about what Amor is doing! Find out more at www.amor.org.

Gum For My Boat Wins Peoples Choice at the 5 Point Film Festival

Posted on Thursday at 7:58

Kahana Kalama at the 5 Point Film Festival

Last Friday night, I found myself somewhere outside of Aspen in a packed out auditorium filled with 800 adventure hungry, adrenaline junky, outdoorsman types. I was there to present Gum For My Boat at the 5 Point Film Festival in Carbondale, Colorado. Leading up to the trip, I was a little apprehensive as to why a Colorado-based film festival would want to show a film about surfing in Bangladesh.

Within fifteen minutes of meeting up with my carpool in Denver, I had my questions answered. Fitz Cahall, Colin Blackshear, and Patrick Rizzo, would join Sarah and myself on an epic 4 hour drive up to Carbondale. The experience of forming relationships with amazingly talented, and compassionate people repeated itself throughout the 4 days of the festival. I realized that the 5 Point film festival was really about coming together to engage in each other’s company. In essence it’s about community…well, that and the documentation of people accomplishing the impossible in the pursuit of following their heart regardless of the risk. And on that note Gum For My Boat fit in perfectly.

I was treated to over 20 hours of amazing films including Patagonia’s 180 Degrees South. After returning to San Diego I found out that Gum For My Boat had won the viewer’s choice award. Stoked!!! A huge thanks goes out to Beda Calhoun, Julie Kennedy, Brie Bath and all the friends I made for making this such an awesome experience.

Oh yeah… and we got down.
