“My house burned down in a forest fire… I had no opportunity to get anything out, I lost 10 years of work, 10 years of hard drives. My life work was, gone!”

Mark McInnis

“Strap your board to a backpack and go hike some coasts you havent gone to before… you’re never going to create memories like the ones you do on trips like that, where your literally carry 60lbs wet wetsuits… you wanna talk about building character, that stuff is so gnarly and so unbelievable fun and on your own power…”
