Tonight I’ll be filling in for Laura Jane at The Pour House while she heads down to support her friend Laura Chavez at her record release party at Belly Up Tavern 🎶

So for one night only…I will be your Laura Jane…minus the t**s and the sass.

Come out for Musical Trivia / Musical Bingo Super Fun Time from 6–8pm. FREE to play, prizes, drinks, music knowledge, bad singing, good laughs and whatever kind of chaos happens when they hand me a microphone.

$4.50 margaritas, kitchen open, good people, killer tunes.

Bring your music nerd friends and let’s make it weird.🍻🎵

Happy Birthday Melissa 🎉

Just wanted to take a minute to say how much you mean to us. You’ve always been—and always will be—family to Maddy and me. Watching you grow into the person you are today has been really special.

You’ve got a beauty that goes way beyond the surface—kind, strong, and genuine in a way that’s rare.

We love you, and we’re always in your corner. Hope today’s a great one—you deserve it ❤️

6 months no alcohol.
2 months in the gym every day.

Didn’t plan it that way, just started stacking days.

Been a long couple years… business, life, everything shifting. Had to rebuild the Real Surf biz model , so figured I might as well rebuild myself too.

Not perfect. Made mistakes. Burned some bridges. I’m human. Just trying to do it better going forwrd...

Lately I’m actually looking forward to mornings—ride to the gym, music in my ears, writing songs in my head. Back on stage, back in it. That’s been huge for me...

Talking with some good people about what’s next—maybe a co-op location, if you know, someone interested in sharing a retail location have them hit us up ... For now still rolling online at realsurfshop.com, printing, handyman work, and looking to do more pop-ups. If you know any makers markets or other local run vendor events, send them my way. Got some new (and funny) Oceanlight designs coming soon.

Looking forward to the next chapter...

Onwards and upwards. See you out there. 🤙

Still here. Still shaping.

It’s how we started. It’s in our blood. We’ll always shape.

Online merchandise for now—or hit us up and make an appointment to come by the warehouse. We’ll get you dialed on a custom: pick your size, choose your logo, mix front/back designs… whatever you want. It’s actually a lot of fun.

Racks are clear. Boards are moving.

Summer’s calling.

Hit us up 🤙

This picture popped up in my memories today and was taken six years ago to the day, on a ride, we took when no one was supposed to be out up to the hideaway during Covid, Glen was the kind of friend where if things were going bad you needed to clear you head you could always call Glenn and he'd be down to ride to Mammoth, Arizona, wherever... what we would all give for one more ride with Glen , who died saving people from that mo********er, who decided to come and shoot his ex-wife and whoever else got in the line of fire at Cook's corner that fateful night several years back... we miss you brother... 🙏

Met this character when I was a stoked rat hanging around up at the nectar factory back in the day, learning to make surfboards and installing some fire sprinklers for gary all the while wondering why there was always someone across the street on the telephone pole... for weeks at a time... 🤔😳 thanks for my first snowboard, and some crazy times ... 00SZab...🙏

🤍 Thank You for Riding With Real Surf This Year🤍

Real Surf has always been built on community, creativity, and doing things our own way. This past year brought a lot of change, but the support from our customers and friends never stopped—and that’s what keeps this thing alive.

Because of you, we get to keep evolving without losing our roots. As we Look ahead to next summer, we’re excited about doing pop-ups, maybe some wharehouse sales at our print shop, continued growth online, new collaborations, and working toward a Collaborative retail space.

Same Real Surf. New chapters ahead.
Follow along, pull up to the pop-ups, rock the gear, and keep supporting local.
