Surfing Magazine Pepper Shoot/Interview

http://www.surfingmagazine.com/surfing-photo-video/surfing-sounds/pepper-interview-090308/index.html

Individually, Bret Keoni Bollinger, Kaleo'okalani Wassman, Remy Ryan De Rochment and Yesod Anton Williams are four guys who grew up in Kona on the sleepy Big Island. But, collectively, they are Pepper. And despite their island origins, Pepper is far from the traditional Hawaiian ukulele and slack keyed guitar sound. In fact, their music more closely resembles the So Cal dub-punk of Sublime.

Now, after being in California thousands of times and having lived there from time to time, the guys from Pepper were still in awe at how relaxing So Cal is in the summer. With the current “Vog” (volcanic gas smog) situation on the island, the boys from Kona on the Big Island enjoyed the weather and sights (girls) of So Cal before a long journey across America. They stopped by SURFING’s backyard before they kicked off their 2008 Tailgate Tour with Slightly Stoopid.

Pacific City, Oregon

Memories of my first trip to the Oregon Coast.. wow, what a lifestyle change, the views were breathtaking!

Off the beaten path...

The best two mile hike, that is well worth the agonizing pain when you have to hike out.. (its 2 miles UP HILL, mind you) This place was right off the freeway near Detroit lake. I think we spent a total of 4 hours just walking around taking pictures, I could not get enough. The silence alone was unbelievable, its so amazing what nature has to offer..if anyone comes up and visits me and you want to go here, let me know!

Season brings change

Saltwater Palette's- Art Show

The first, but definitely not the last.. The Costa Mesa show "Saltwater Palette's," was my first local art show, so i was very tense and nervous up until the day of.. but somehow we pulled it off and it was a great night! We had a great line up of artists, Blakeney, Christina, and Heather, who had some beautiful work and really aspiring pieces. I want to thank everyone who came out and supported, it really meant a lot to all of us girls. Most importantly I have to acknowledge friend and amazing surf artist, Phil Roberts, which the show would not have been possible without.
