When we last saw him, Surfline Man was gathering his
bros for a trip to the BSR Wave Park in Waco.
Sure, some of his buddies weren’t that enthusiastic, and sure,
Trestles is firing.
Surfline Man remains undaunted.
Surfline Man doesn’t care about your hate.
Surfline Man is going to Waco and he’s determined to convince
his bros in the industry to help him get there.

Hey Dave! Long time, no see. We met at that one party at US
Open two years ago, remember? Fuck, that was such a great time. So
many wild stories. What happens in Huntington, stays in Huntington!
I feel like you totally know what I mean.
So my buddies and I are headed to Waco for some wave pool
action. We’ve got a big push on socials in the works. I don’t know
if you’ve seen it, but I’ve got a podcast going, Trent Talks Surf.
Available on iTunes! Stoked! I just started it, but it’s already
doing great numbers. We’re also going to vlog the hell out of this
thing. Should be awesome!
I’m writing to see if we could do a little sponsorship deal
for this thing. We’d love to showcase your brand on our social
channels. It’s a great opportunity for you to get some exposure to
our growing audience. We’d love to offer you first dibs on being
our exclusive clothing sponsor for the length of the trip.
Also, we should totally talk advertising. I am looking to
highlight some premium surf brands on my podcast, and I think you
would be an excellent fit for the show.
I think we could do some awesome things together! Let me
know your thoughts!
Shakas!

Hi,
I have a not-to-be missed sponsorship opportunity that I
feel would be a perfect fit for your brand.
The set-up: A group of veteran surfers, bored and
discontent, heads to the BSR Wave Park in Waco to reconnect with
one another and rekindle their stoke for surfing.
We plan an extensive social media push, including a Youtube
vlog. I also plan several episodes on my podcast, Trent Talks Surf,
which is now available on iTunes.
We’d love to offer you the opportunity to be our exclusive
surfboard sponsor for the trip. We can offer exposure across our
social media channels which feature a growing and affluent audience
of surf enthusiasts.
I feel like a partnership would be mutually beneficial.
Please let me know your thoughts at your earliest
convenience!
Shakas!
Trent

Surf trip buddies!
I am so excited about this trip, you guys! It’s going to be
so much fun.
So I’ve been reaching out to some industry friends to get us
a little sponsorship love and I feel pretty confident it’s going to
work out. Some new boards would be pretty fucking sweet about
now!
So I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I have a podcast
going now. It’s call Trent Talk Surf and you can find it on iTunes
with all the rest of the cool kids. Next up, I’m trying to get Tom
Lochtefeld, the dude who invented like all the wave pools to come
on and talk about how they work. Should be so awesome!
Please leave me feedback on iTunes. Gotta feed the
algorithm, you know! And share it on your social media. Every bit
helps and we gotta pump the numbers, so we can score some shwag for
our trip.
Okay, so dates! It looks like the week of July 20th is our
best bet. We’ll leave from here in San Clemente on Saturday the
18th, 4am sharp! Drive like we stole it all the way to Texas, baby!
No stops on the way, just drivin’
I’ll drive my Sprinter, but we probably need more than one
car. Who else can drive?
I’ve made reservations for us at the wave pool. I just need
you to venmo me $600 each to cover the cost.
That’s it for now! Stay tuned for a full itinerary!
Shakas!

a link?
I’d drive, but my wife needs the Prius to get to work.

planet. going green is so radical.

inspiring. also we’re taking up a collection for a soup kitchen in

Ryan, here to save the day!! I can drive my Sprinter. I
don’t know how you survive sharing the one car, Kyle. And a Prius,
at that! You’re insane, basically. No way I could put up with
that.
So we’re driving straight through on the way out? Ambitious,
man, but I’m down.
We can take it more chill on the way home. Stop in Tucson
for some party times with my bros, yew!
Can’t wait to score some sweet tubes!!
