Part of the Solution…

A lot of us, myself included, sit feeling helpless about what we can do to make a difference with the BP spill in the Gulf. Others are charging ahead full-steam trying to be part of the solution. I just stumbled across this article: Surfers gain EPA support for their Gulf Coast cleanup cure
Joey Santley and [...]

Shit We’re Digging – The work of Jeff Martin

In surfing there are many parallels to everyday life. Sometimes we choose to associate the two and sometimes they can seem so far apart unless you look for that common link.
The craftsmanship of Jeff Martin turned up to us a few years ago and then again his work resurfaced when he was working on a [...]

WAVES for Development

There’s a good article on SurferMag online featuring WAVES for Development and a short discussion with founder Dave Aabo. We did an interview with Dave and very much believe in what he’s doing down in Peru and other places around the world.

Sometimes life gets in the way of blog posts…

Things have been a bit slow around here lately on Phoresia but not without good reason. Ricardo recently welcomed his first son into this world so his priorities are changing as all parents tend to.

Hanging 5 with Chris Cutri

Since moving to North America at the age of 12, I’ve been obsessed by everything about board culture. At first it was skateboarding and then at 17 I began surfing. Like most other youth I absorbed board culture through print media. Surf and skateboard magazines have a huge impact on youth culture and I’m [...]

Sage Joske

by Mick Sowry
I read recently that sending an interview subject a list of questions and expecting them to send you their answers could be construed as lazy journalism.
When you live 800 miles from the interviewer, as Sage Joske does, I claim an excuse, and also claim I was going to write around it, ‘in my [...]
