"EFFORTLESS" AN INTERVIEW WITH THE ONE AND ONLY MELE SAILI
This year was full of fun travels! I went to Maui to visit family and surf, Sayulita for Mexilogfest, Tofino up in Canada for a Surf Road Trip, Portugal for the Aljezur Surfing Invitational & the Gliding Barnacles Surf Invitational. I also just got back from San Miguel, Baja for the Peninsula Surf & Film Festival.
CALIFORNIA GOLD
LADY CRUZ
It was the allure of the California Coast in summer that reunited us. The days that stretched on well into the evening, a warmed Pacific Ocean where spring suits felt like enough and shimmering blue-green waves that tumbled onto shore so consistently they felt almost mechanical. Such lucid memories were enough for the three of us, who lived across the country, to reunite in San Diego and prepare for seven days of surfing twice a day up the coast with a couple of Bing Surfboards in tow. The board models we brought were the 9’6” Levitator, the 9’4” Continental and the 9’2” Pocket Knife.
