Here we go again...The Pacific hurricane season has begun! I wonder what kind of season will be in store for us this year? Kevin Wallis of Surfline.com narrates the "LOOKING SOUTH" pacific season report. Check it out on surfline.com. And in addition to Kevin's reports, Eddie Toy in Florida says Central America will receive it's first good swell of the season around June 1st. "Once we get locked into a storm cycle pattern down there, we should receive storm after storm," Eddie says. This is great news for our June 8th trip to Costa Rica! The Mission Films will be heading to Costa Rica from June 8th to the 15th. Rodrigo Miranda will be guiding us through some of the best surfspots, jungles and Costa Rica hotspots from the 8th to the 10th. From the 11th to the 21st we will be documenting the Ripzone International catalogue shoot. Check out their 2006 surfwear, casuals and footwear for summer. Get it while it's hot!

Keep tuned for pictures, video and additional details...

Gas prices are on the climb and so is the cost of airfare. Hurricane season is approaching...

With the warm temps moving in Spring has definitely arrived in Salt Lake City. Although there's still plenty of snow in the mountains and Snowbird is open on weekends-I have officially retired my boards for the season. Time to switch it up and start thinking about hurricane season and surfing again.

On the surfing tip, Rodrigo and Jimmy are killing it again in the comps. The Southeast Regionals are finishing up finals as I write this. Jimmy is in the finals heat today. Rodrigo and Jimmy have secured their spots at OBX in September. This is going to be a great hurricane episode this year... Congratulations guys!!!
