Unreal vibes at Pleasure Point for Zeuf Hesson’s pre-memorial paddle out today.
The story, and the photos that made the cut: http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/things-to-do-with-kids-in-santa-cruz/ci_24248803/queen-pleasure-point-hundreds-attend-paddle-out-zeuf
A homemade bike/surfboard trailer, some sandals, and a hat overlooking Cowell’s in Santa Cruz in May of 2009. I’ve had a little hiatus from shooting, but that should change shortly. @jweiand
Did you know San Francisco hosted the greenest surf contest ever, and possibly the greenest athletic event in the world? You may know that Kelly Slater won his 11th World Title (twice), but this is the story behind the story.
Do you know what it takes to create an athletic event which diverts 90% of waste away from the landfill? While waste diversion is just a piece of the puzzle (see the full breakdown @ Sustainable Surf: Final Report), it required constant supervision and effort to reach the goal of 90%.
Local non-profits Sustainable Surf, the SF chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, Wastebusters, and the Ocean Beach community came together to create the greenest World Championship Tour contest ever.
