I can’t think of a better cure for the Corona Blues than a surf trip with my best bros. Perfect waves, cold brews, hot girls. Livin’ the dream, man!
When we last met Surfline Man, he was meticulously feeding his sourdough starter during the Quar Times.
But Corona is so over.
What could our forecast-loving surf hero be up to now?
What else, but a surf trip.
Follow along as Surfline Man gathers his crew for a fabulous trip to remember.
It’s gonna be epic!!!

Braddahs!!
I hope you are holding up okay! This whole Corona thing has been such a huge bummer. I can’t believe they actually closed the beaches for like a whole month.
Fortunately, you could still score if you knew where to go. I defnitely got in some solid sessions, no one around, waves for miles. I hope you bros got some!!
Anyway, I feel like we all totally need a stress release and I can’t think of a better cure for the Corona Blues than a surf trip with my best bros. Perfect waves, cold brews, hot girls. Livin’ the dream, man!
I’ve heard such great things about Nicaragua. Like, so many good set-ups down there. And cheap! This is the perfect time of year to hit that zone. Shack-o-rama!
I don’t know, maybe flying is still too sketchy right now? I mean, I’m down if you are.
But we could just like, keep it local. Maybe hit the wave pool down in Texas?
All the pros are going there and even the chicks are landing some sweet airs! Bet we could all hit an air reverse with just a few hours of practice.
Check out this video with Taj,
Looks pretty easy, really.
At Waco, we can get five sessions for $449 on the advanced wave, which I feel like is totally our speed.
Just a 21-hour drive, no problem in the Sprinter!
Let me know your thoughts!
Shakas,
Trent

I’m down for Waco – got some buddies in Tucson, Bet we could stay over and break up the drive some.
But Trent, how are you going to handle it, man, no tides to watch, no swell to check – too easy! JK.
Sounds fun – see you guys soon!

Okay, I think we should go to Waco. Waves all day! So Fun!
And no flying means it’s super safe. Check out these tips for hotel stays. I’ll get a box or two of nitrile gloves for all of us to share.
Also here’s some great tips here on road tripping safely, so we’re all on the same page. Ryan, can you pick up some Lysol wipes? Get the big, super-size pack from Costco.
Okay, let’s get some dates. Plan on like two days of driving, plus five awesome days of surfing. What’s good for everyone? I can go any time, except the week of the 21st.
I’ll buy our tickets. Venmo me, baby! Username: Surfline Man.
Meanwhile, get stoked on these waves!
Oh also, Kyle, you need to reconfigure your email. Gotta get rid of that “Re” in the subject line, it’s totally breaking the thread. Message me direct, and I’ll show you how!
Alright! Can’t wait!

Bahahahahaaa too funny.
So he just drops in on you ?
I’M RAD.
I’M CHAD.
I’M RAD CHAD.
surfed c st the other day and thought to myself “is that jen see?”every time i saw a girl surfer
Hahaha, good one Jensie. But bro, I mean sis, me and my bro’s like totally talk like this and emails each other all the time about Sprinter mods and rinse kit hacks. Like, our last email thread was about me gettin’ ideas on the most bitchin’ sticker placement for my new Patagonia sticker for my rasta colored Wavestorm. I wanted to put it on the nose, (so the locals think I’m sponsored. If you can’t earn respect, fake it), but it won’t adhere to the top because of the squishy wavestorm material. Shreddy Jim said to just put it on the smooth bottom, but I swear that would totally create drag and mess with the hydrodynamics of my sled. I’m really in tune with my setups and even put Rainex windshield treatment on the bottom of my boards to lessen drag and give me that added edge over those dicks that keep burning me at that one beach.
And I would totally take Mike Sweeney’s place in this email thread, these broski’s sound like my kind of peeps. Lates, Jensie, shaka to ya maddah!! To the max!!!
Rinse kit hacks – love that.
My rinse kit is an old 1 gallon Gatorade bottle filled with really hot water. The only hack there is don’t lose the cap. $4 and all the sugar you could want. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
Bro, I could totally show you how to trick that thing out with an air valve to pressurize it with a tire inflator, brackets to mount it to your Sprinter (I’m assuming you have one, all us woke surf bro’s have em) and a custom solar panel rig to keep it toasty hot. With portable curtains so nobody sees our tiny wieners and custom standing tub so our Tevas don’t get sandy. I have multiple accessories and GoPro mounts mounted all over my van. Got all the same color mounts to match the ones on my helmet, and Rasta Wavestorm. Oh yeah, and my mouth-mount one too. DM me, I can totally show you how.
Bro-ham, not just one, but just got my second. See my pics below. One decked out for a bro’s trip (or to pull up next to Rob at Seaside), the other when the wife wants to join me on a trip north of the border (the San Diego county/Orange County border that is). My kid will never go to college, but sucks for him.
I still like to use the ole Gatorade bottle to make sure I stay connected to the masses.
Stay Woke!

Broski, for realz? Sick wraps with the camo and stripes to really let em know that you mean business. I can only imagine how cherry they are inside. I just picture myself riding shotgun on a stealth mish to Huntington to get footage for our Sponsor me/promo reels. Yewwww!
Im trying to figure out how big a gallon is
3.79 Liters – that help? My go to daily driver board has volume of 10.3 gallons 🙂
Very helpful thanks. I do the same with a 3 litre (liter) juice bottle. Wrap it in my down jacket while im out surfing. Come back in 3 hours later and its a great hot shower at the beach. Perfect.
I feel like Hillary with all my emails leaked.
I miss Longtom’s articles analyzing the contests or surfboards to extreme detail, articles like these don’t make any sense, it seems like you really hate “surfline guy” whoever that may be, but us readers could care less for him or the shitty waves in SoCal
fucking good JS…
i know too many mike sweeney’s… seriously so funny Jenn
oh fuck.
Surfline man burns Jen on the reg an she secretly wants to root him
I know it’s fake because of the lack of vulgarity and drug references. Who the fuck drives from Southern California to Waco in the midst of this run of fun surf? Also, using the phrase “good setups”and “Shack-O-Rama” further lets me know that this has to be fake. If it is real, we’re doomed….
Jens sad she’s not getting group emailed.
the raddest chad
That sucked
What was that yawnful pack of crap about ?
It’s what’s called a piss take ..
