Wedge

Awesome morning at the wedge. It just felt so good to be in the ocean surfing again. I surfed 4 hours straight until both of my legs cramped up.  Hughie took some great photos and I will post them later tonight.  

Povertees is gonna be in full force this summer expanding and producing and loving all summer long.  

Tomorrow, Gianna and I leave for San Francisco.  This is our first time going and we are absolutely stoked to get to go.  We will be taking tons of photos as well to post early next week.

:]

Tweet

Its been a while.  I had a wonderful birthday on the 12th and some final exams a long the way.  Also, Povertees, bought a silk screen press to add our logo to all of our tees.  

The reason I posted is because I finally gave in to the twitter craze thats been going on.  I Like that I can be updated with any news from my favorite stores, surf shops, and friends.  I like it so far.  Follow me at twitter.com/Matt_donahue.

Long Island

I worked 43 hours in Long Island New York for the KAR Competition.  In case you are wondering why every weekend I am traveling, I am a photographer for the national dance competition called Kids Artistic Review.  I am not just traveling for pleasure.  I usually only get to experience the local food and the interaction  and conversation with the local people.  The bottom line with New York is that the food is pretty awesome.  Pizza was amazing, and even the Mexican food exceeded my So-Cal burrito expectations.  Also, New York accents are pretty awesome.  Here are a couple of photos I took during the competition.

Clean early ones

I got to get a sunrise session with Hughie this morning, and it was surprisingly a lot of fun.  Clean little peaky ones at the jetties and the sets were a lot of fun.  It felt so nice to get wet and enjoy a beautiful morning with a buddy and still making it to my 8:30 class only 1 minute late.  

Tonight I leave for New York, and I am stoked to see what it has to offer.  

Mobile, Alabama

I just arrived to my hotel in the southern state of alabama. So far, I really like it here. I like it mainly because of the greenery to concrete ration. Also the properties all are huge old sweet looking places. I haven't met any Alabamians, but when I do, I will post anything I find interesting. I have to start my 38 hour of work weekend now. :)

San Diego

I got home 1am this morning after working 45 hours at the San diego competition, and I am pooped.  The people were really nice, especially in comparison to other southern california competitions.  I am too tired to post any more but I wanted to update. :]

Not so well done

My first blog post, finally!  I am sunburnt to the crisp from the few hours in newport beach yesterday, so today is a little bit miserable.  I am walking around campus looking like a tomato, and  I struggle to get my back pack on and off because of the pain I am in.  I guess thats all for now. I will post pictures from yesterday's surf session later.
