The Journal

Very honored to have a writeup about Hess Surfboards in the current Surfers Journal.
Joni Martin put her heart into writing the article. I'm proud of it and think she captured a window into the ever-changing and diverse search for alternatives. I promise I'm not as mean as I look in the photos. Cheers.

Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving day swell
We had an amazing, solid thanksgiving day swell here at Ocean beach . My friend Andy was able to get this shot of me testing out the new 9' 6" quad. Very Cat and Mouse out there that day. It was really nice to have the extra paddle to track down the bigger peaks.
