The OC Video is here!!!

/

Ladies and gents I am SO proud to present the video from the OC leg of the tour.

Phileas the touring surfmat hits Orange County, So Cal for the next leg of her adventure. After a quick stop off with Newport Wedge legend Sean Starky, a true great of mat surfing, James "Mattitude" Sowell takes up the reins for sessions with Matt Pierce and Chad Stickney.

Thanks so much to Sean Mattitude, Chad Stickney, Sean Starky and Matt Pierce for getting in on this.

On she goes... Santa Barbara next.

Word from Mr Starkey and it seems that Phileas' travel itinerary has gone all over the shop!

The initial plan for the US West Coast was carefully put together. Start in San Diego with Kendog who would put together a few hook-ups. Next, on to Sean Starkey in Newport to hopefully get Wedge (out of season). Then, head up to Santa Barbara for a stint with ASB and the Rincon crew before hitting Santa Cruz with Steiny and on up the to the Pacific North West to hang with Pete D'Ewart and John Mann.

Tidy...

Best laid plans + mat surfers = beautiful chaos.

Pete and John from PNW are heading to San Diego in a couple of weeks so Phileas headed to Newport where the waves are poor so went early to Rincon except the Rincon crew weren't aware so she'll head back to SD to meet up with them from PNW and will then go BACK to Rincon before hitting Santa Cruz!!!

CHAOS I TELLS YA!!!!!!!!!

Sean's Instagram post has got people running all over So Cal!  God I love this project.

Detour!!!!!!!!!

Well, Phileas has landed in San Diego and it would seem that Kendog has had some waves (there are even rumours of photos). The mat-vine has been rustling however, with word that John Mann (AKA Bag Juan) and  Peter D'Ewart (AKA Chiledub) are going to be in town at the end of the month. 

Well, it would be criminal for them an Phileas to miss each other.

So, with that in mind, Phileas is headed off to this guy...

Wedge legend Sean William Starkey and his band of merry hell-men are sure to give Phileas a warm welcome. I can't wait to see what comes of this little soiree.

Don't worry though San Diegans. Phileas will be back.
