Colin Boyd - Free Surfboard and Wetsuit Essay Contest Entrant
Looks like Colin and Crew are headed for a seriously fun trip. It appears that he’s well on his way to getting everything together for his trip so I thought I’d pass on his request as some of the other contestants had more direct needs and would probably benefit from free gear to a greater extent. Enjoy his essay.
To generous surfer with too many suits,
As I sit here pondering up good reasons why I should take the cake on your sweet contest, I can’t help but reference the adventure that awaits in the coming weeks. I am departing the coast of Maine after the hurricane produces some solid swell this weekend and making my way west once again to the great Pacific. Driving along those weeving roads out to Jackson Hole with my sister, and then Craigslisting a ride further west to Yosemite/Tahoe area to meet up with a crew of solid east coasters who are coming out of the woodwork for an epic journey south.
After picking up a vehicle last week in SF, we are planning on meeting up to make plans, gear up, trick out the van and obviously stir the rad pot. We are going to pick up boards in CA as well as suits and the rest of the camping/stoke gear for the adventure south. We are planning on driving through the Baja, Mainland, and all the way down to Panama, surfing, diving, climbing,while causing all sorts of nonsense. I know the water is warm, but upon arrivng in Panama, if the van is still in working order, we are going to freight it south and pick up in south america surfing the chilly and isolated coast of Chile…
That is our trip ion a nut shell. We will obviously pass the suits onto those in need along the way, and use them ourselves. I thank you for your time and consideration.
