We didn’t have long to adjust to jet lag, unpack or let alone wax and fin up our boards before the contest started. First stop was checking in at the comp site and then —- well, you’ll see what else happens through out the day!
Trains, Planes and Automobiles…add a smart car and a luggage cart to the mix, and you have summed up the 24 hours it took me and my two BBF’s on tour (Clair and Sage) to get to Europe. It was a mission as usual, but ALWAYS FUN 
So this week I got hit up by the crew over at LoCale Magazine. They asked for me to be the “local feature” and wanted to shoot me for the cover along with an 8 page spread for their first issue launching this Summer!!! Of course I said… WHEN, WHERE AND WHAT TIME??
It was such a fun and exciting shoot and so much different than my usual “au-natural beach girl, wavy hair bikini prancing look.” I was definitely out of my element to say the least. But don’t take my word for it, check it out and you tell me!
Casio Shoot Take One took place in Australia in March. Unfortunately the watches never showed up, so doing product shots with no product wasn’t really an option. Now here’s Casio Shoot Take 2: Cali that’s suppose to look like Australia, hopefully I don’t get busted for letting the cat out of the bag. check out pics
Finally back home in my be-loved “bubble” Newport Beach, and it feels soooo good to sleep in my own bed and eat my delicious home cooked meals. I love traveling and had an absolute BLAST in Australia, but it’s good to be back home. The weather has been insanely warm for March (summer come early) and I couldn’t be happier. Sage cruised down for the weekend for a little fun in the sun action, and we were frothing the two footers.
Thanks to the FFS Crew for making my first stop on tour come alive in Australia, I had so much fun and without them, my Oz-Blog would not have been nearly as fun!
Congrats to Taj Burrow and Josh Kerr, an all aussy final with Josh scoring a perfect 10.0 and taking the 6*Prime Win. I got the full coverage with amazing footage from the semi-finals including a little chat with the boys!
I had an amazing time on the Gold Coast, now I’m off to Western Australia for the Margaret River Master’s WQS Event. For only having to get across the country, it was a freaking mission! Dropped the rental car off to take a taxi to the train station to get a ticket for the Brisbane Airport just to get ripped off on board fees to fly to W.A, where we re-rented a car to drive 4 hours to Perth in the middle of the night trying not to get lost since the contest could potentially start at 8am. EEEK!
Just found out that the Gudauskas Boys are staying right next door to my pad on the Gold Coast, so I snuck over for some laughs and then we cooked up a mean BBQ chicken dinner.
Casio and the crew flew over to Australia to meet up and shoot some surf and model shots. It was a very successful shoot, minus my almost broken toe. I can’t even describe what happened in words so you just have to watch and see for yourself the pain inflicted on the little pinky that almost didn’t make it home
