SURF. LIFE. LUXURY...

HAPPY 2011!! I hope y'all had a great holiday and are eagerly looking forward to an amazing and joy filled NEW YEAR.

I must admit I have had a bit of writer's block. I think it has something to do with spending the holiday in the cold, cold snow of the midwest while EVERYONE I know was in either...

Cabo

The Grenadines

Miami

Punta del Este

The Bahamas

Australia

or various Hawaiian Islands...

I DID NOT spend my days trying to decide which pom-pom cover-up or Eres bikini to wear. I DO NOT have a new bikini line or a collection of sea shells. I DID NOT spend the holiday eating fresh fruit and fish caught the same day. I DO NOT have a bunch of mini sized shampoos or soaps that I took from the hotel room.

So finding the beach inspiration that drives this blog has been tough. But don't worry loyal followers, I am planning my warm winter get-away as we speak and I am already collecting ideas for a Seaton Surf blog-a-palooza!

LOVE, AMOUR, SAYANG, AMORE, DRAGOSTE, DIE LIEBE, AMOR, in 2011

Surfing for life...

I saw this amazing movie called SURFING FOR LIFE. It is about a group of wonderful people who are still surfing in their 70's, 80's and 90's. I was especially smitten by Eve Fletcher who at 30 took up surfing and, in over 50 years, has not stopped!

This movie confirmed that I am the laziest person on earth and should be ashamed. These older folks are crazy cool. So what do you think the first thing I did after watching it? Well, I sat at my computer for the next hour or so "Surfing" the web for information on Eve.

She is 83 years old and is one of the oldest women still surfing. Her favorite spot is San Onofre, the home of more surfers over 70 than any other beach in the world.

Says Eve: "I plan to surf till I drop. You are never too old to be stoked!"

Eve surfing on a cold Christmas day in a white mohair sweater "...for a little bit of warmth. It was too good a day not to go out!" Really, because it was 56 degrees yesterday and I stayed in my pajamas all day.

It was too cold outside :)

Her day job was as an animation supervisor at Disney where she worked on Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella.

Eve says "The greatest thing about surfing is that you learn so much about the ocean, the birds, the porpoises. You forget all your problems. You love everyone." I could not agree more!

xoxo Eve. You ROCK!
