hawaiian surf.

I've fallen in love...

I just got back from a week long Hawaii adventure that changed my life. The best thing I experienced during my trip was surfing the crystal blue Kona waves while the sun beamed down on my winterized Vancouver skin. Every wave I caught gave me such a feeling of accomplishment and serenity. When it’s just you, a board, and the uncontrollable ocean you definitely feel at mercy with nature.

So since I’ve found this inspiring obsession, I have been trying to better understand surf culture and its fashion.

Here are my surfing musts..

My favorite albums that remind me to hang loose:

The Ventures - Surfing

The Surfaris - Surfers Rule
The Sandles - The Endless Summer Soundtrack
The Ziggins - Pomona Lisa

The Shadows - The Shadows’ Greatest Hits
The Cruel Sea - This Is Not The Way Home
Sublime - 40 Oz To Freedom
Donavan Frankenreiter - Donavan Frankenreiter

Jack Johnson - To The Sea
 

My must see surfing movies to get you into the surf spirit:

  And of course my new fashion wishables for my surf filled summer are…
