FIND YOUR HAPPINESS

I was blessed that my parents were sailors and always drawn to the ocean. From a young age they had my brother and me at the beach, so much so that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost as if salt water was running through our veins. Being introduced to the water early instilled in us a love for mother ocean. A few weeks back, when nothing was going my way, I realized I needed to get in the water. We were in the middle of the flat summer blues, we received a little bump in swell, and the entire circus came to town. Even with an over hyped and extremely crowded lineup, it still provided all the therapy that I needed to get back into the correct mindset. Surfing makes my emotions do back flips at times. What I mean by that is, on land I'm a total people person, I enjoy the interaction

with others on every level, but when I get in the ocean that can change pretty dramatically. Don't get me wrong, I love catching up with friends and getting all chatty Cathy in the water, but at the same time I have a completely different attitude when in the water. I think it all boils down to the fact that as surfers we are quite greedy. I want every wave and have a very short term memory. Even if I was on a trip a few weeks back, I'm always focused on what have I received lately; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re never pleased with surfing unless you've had a recent experience of a fun session. It's hard to explain. I wouldn't say I'm never satisfied, but I guess it's more I'm constantly looking for that joy that surfing brings me and not pleased until the feeling is captured again. Whether it's the ocean or a quick trip out of town, make sure

that you have a pressure release. Depression is real, and finding the right outlet is essential. Make sure you have yours ready for when the times are tough and you need to get your mind right. Try to have a good head space in the process, find something that brings you back to where you need to be mentally. It will help when things aren't going your way, and will result in happiness for the people surrounding you. Bryan Forand | Editor

THE POWER OF GRATITUDE They say that surfing is a selfish pursuit. We can argue that we share the waves, the stoke, smiles, the ocean. But when that set rolls in, it’s

every man for himself. And as nice as we are out of the water, we all battle for that peak, for the wave of the day. Pretty much every single time. But we are a brotherhood of souls with a single common bond, the love of the ocean. We all step off land if only for a few hours, hoping to catch those seconds of bliss when the power of a distant storm lifts us up, and gives us a taste of freedom from ordinary life, because surfing is, if nothing else: extraordinary. It’s that joy that brought us together to honor the life of Corey Ross, a young man bursting with a fire to live who was taken from us too soon. We all have stories, we all knew him, loved him, called him off waves that he may not have actually given up. But that smiling face is gone, the kid you saw around town, that guy you saw at the inlet: gone. It’s hard to swallow, it’s even

harder to believe. But life is terribly fragile and needs be cared for and nourished, and most of all appreciated. As surfers we came together to honor his life as a fellow waterman. To honor him as someone who knew pure stoke. To honor him as someone who spent days of his life scanning the horizon searching for that next opportunity to go for a ride. “I’ve never met an unhappy surfer,” Bobby Levy mentioned to me as we caught our waves in from Corey’s paddle out. That thought stuck with me, and he’s right. Surfers are a happy bunch who unite to honor members of our tribe. We express and live in gratitude: gratitude for life and the opportunity to catch a wave. Bill Gallagher | Contributing Writer

MI S S S U N S H INE

DEVON CHRISTENSON PHOTO: CLINT ROBERT

Age: 19 Where do you live? Boca Raton FL Originally from? Neptune Beach FL Occupation? Currently I don’t have a “big girl” job because I’m a full time business student in college... but I recently created my own brand, Dvoted to You which is an eco friendly graphic tshirt &amp; collab bikini line (with Ormond Beach local designer Paige White owner of Nada Swim)! It’s been such a fun project that gives me a creative outlet and keeps me busy! In addition to all that, I model professionally down in Miami (: Where would your dream trip take you? Funny enough, I just recently got back from Bali, Indonesia which has been my dream trip for years!! I lived there for almost 2 months this summer so I could really soak it in and experience everything it had to offer &amp; it was incredible. My next dream trip would be to Moorea or Bora bora to swim in the crystal clear blue water and chill in one of the bungalow houses built on the water! Tell us something about you that might surprise us? Even though I’ve lived on the ocean in Florida my entire 19 years of existence.. I’ve actually never eaten fish along with most seafood in my life! It just has never smelled or looked appealing to me!! I’ve now been vegan for 2 years and dont plan on eating fish for the rest of my life, haha. People think I’m so strange for this! How many times a day do you use social media? (tell us the truth) Honestly, the only social media platform I use on the daily is Instagram! I’m not active on Facebook, Twitter or any others! I’d say I spend a couple hours on Instagram a day mostly scrolling and posting to my brands page! If you were a skittle, what color would you be and why? Yellow! Because the color yellow stands for happiness and sunshine! They’re also super-tasty because you get both sour and sweet action. Best of both worlds. (; When you listen to music, do you pay attention to lyrics or the melodies and beats? Unless I’m in the car or shower singing to the song, I usually pay the most attention to the beats and melodies because I like to vibe and dance to music rather than listen to the words!

What do you enjoy the most about modeling? For me, modeling is a great way to prove myself and boost my self confidence. I also love having a reason to get all dolled up all the time! Real Housewives or Sunday Night Football? Real Housewives all day. Got a boyfriend? I date the god of love, hbu? Worst Pickup Line? Hey girl is your name wifi? Cause we have a connection Most important thing on a first date? No awkward silent moments pleeease. They are the worst. If you had to live in another state besides Florida, which state would you choose and why? Cali! Everytime I visit I feel like I could totally live there. It’s fun, has beaches, cool people, cool job opportunities, good food. What else is there to ask for?? Best Beach in Florida? Love the beaches in south Florida specifically In Boca Raton! There’s coconuts on the trees, white sand and water so blue it feels like the Bahamas. Favorite celebrity? Miley Cyrus. She’s such a rad human in every aspect. She’s one of few young celebs that’s an activist and works to make a difference in the world every day. Who’s the hottest- Surfers, Skaters, Wakeboarder, Musicians or Artist? Surfer Eros Exarhou (my boyfie) from Ormond Beach. He is seriously the hottest boy I’ve ever laid my eyes on. It was love at first sight when i saw him surf in a contest in jax beach when i was only like 13! Fan girled hard core back then and now we’re two years deep in a relationship! Luv u boo!! I love Fluid mag because? It’s a rad local mag that keeps the beaches community in the loop! Ran by cool people for cool people, ha! What does the future hold for the lovely Devon? I hope to grow my brand in the next couple of years, graduate college, travel all over the world, get better and better at surfing and have my modeling career take off! Patience is key.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT:

FLORIDA BREW TOURS

Over the past few years amazing craft breweries have been popping up all over Central Florida. When we heard about Florida Brew Tours, we realized it was the missing piece to the puzzle in the local craft brewery scene. Based in Daytona Beach, they currently do tours to Central Florida's blossoming brewery landscape in an exciting and refreshing way. During each guided tour, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll visit three breweries, where you'll get to see behind the scenes and view what makes each location unique. After the tour, a complementary flight of different beers will be served for you to enjoy. So stop wondering what to do with your weekend and tap into Florida! Who are the founders of the Florida Brew Tours? Michael Fowler; the idea man, his Son-in-law, Ben Leftwich; the operations man, and last but not least, Jordan Duffy, Michael's coworker; the investor. How did you come up with the idea to do tours to the area's best craft beer locations? Mike was visiting Chicago and went on a brewery tour similar to what we do now. He and Ben were familiar with the local breweries already, so since he had such a good time, he asked: "Why don't we have one of those here?" That conversation evolved into Florida Brew Tours. Which breweries do you tour most frequently? Pretty much all of the breweries in East Volusia,

from New Smyrna to Ormond. We keep a regular rotation of New Smyrna Brewing, Tomoka Brewing, Daytona Beach Brewing, Copper Bottom Craft Distillery, Ormond Brewing and Beachside Brew Pub. We do, however, go as far as Orlando, St. Augustine, and Titusville. Tell us a little bit about the bus and the process of booking a tour or special event? The bus is a 2016, 25-passenger, executive level bus, which means it has comfortable leather seats and a wood-look vinyl floor. We always have a cooler full of local craft beer for everyone to enjoy. Music is playing loud or soft, depending on preference, and until October, the A/C is blowing full blast. Booking a private tour is as simple as sending an email to info@floridabrewtours.com or calling Ben at (386) 956-5198 and he'll walk you through everything. What has the feedback been from customers who've been on the Florida Brew Tours? Overwhelmingly positive. We haven't gotten a negative review yet, and I think a lot of the credit should go to the fantastic breweries we have in the area. They make it so easy and fun for everyone, not to mention provide delicious beer. Our tour guides and drivers are excellent, as well. We always get great feedback about how fun the guides made it and we don't hear about the driver, which any professional driver will tell you, is a very good thing. What's the average cost per person if the group has around 20 people on the bus? We offer group rates for groups of 10 or more. So at 20 and up the price drops $10 per person to $49, and two people ride free. Between 1020 is $54 and one rides free. We've had several epic nights on the bus (Fluid Parties, Bachelor Party, Orlando City

Soccer Games). Is there more of a demand for the craft beer tours or special events that are in need of a party bus? It's right at 50/50. We're starting to become known in the area, so people are curious about the brewery tours, and even veteran patrons of local breweries know the value of being driven to and from a few of them. That said, it is a nice bus, and there's always demand for transporting a larger group to events, with a perk. The cooler is always stocked. What is the best way to find out more about the bus and how to book a tour? Simplest is to call or email as mentioned above, but our website is floridabrewtours.com and everything is there, also. You can also look us up on Facebook @FLBrewTours and Instagram @FloridaBrew. Floridabrewtours.com | 386-956-5198 *Special Group Rate when you mention "Fluid Magazineâ&#x20AC;?

@dakinepoke

The poke craze is alive and well in New Smyrna, and there’s a new place with an Aloha vibe and the food to match. I sat down with Pete Downing, owner of Da Kine Poke to learn a little more about how he got started, and how his bowls of delight came to be.

So why Da Kine? How did that come about? Da Kine just stood out, meaning the best in whatever you want it to be. We wanted the best poke, so Da Kine Poke was born. We are stoked to have you on Flagler Ave. How has the response been? It’s been great. Super good. The support of the locals and the local business owners has been amazing. Couldn’t have been any better. Your poke combinations are like no other poke I’ve ever had. How did your recipes come about? That’s just the creative side of me, I’ve been in food for the past 20 years, opening different restaurants, and just picking up things along the way. Basically this concept was how I like to eat and the flavors I like to put together. Ya know, the stuff I make at home. I was told many times by friends that I need to get out there and sell it, so I did. Man it works, and adding salmon to the mix. Wow. But when I think of poke, I typically think of tuna.

I wanted just another option. I can’t eat tuna all the time. I guess salmon is a little more adventurous for some people. We’ll have things like octopus, and do a lionfish when I can get my hands on it. So we’ll always have a little bit of a fun protein to throw in the mix. So tell me a little bit about the quality of the fish. It’s sustainably sourced tuna and salmon, all line caught. I can trace it back to the day it came out of the water, the boat it was caught on, who was on it, who pulled the fish in, who cleaned it and chipped it. It comes from the Marshall Islands right now. Last week we had Costa Rican, two weeks ago we had fish from the Philippines. So it comes from all over. Wherever we can find the best.

DA KINE POKE BOWLS PHOTOGRAPHED BY: PATRICK RUDDY

You’ve got a pretty cool set up here, on the avenue. It just feels like a cool place to be. Yeah, we kinda wanted to create a lifestyle with the brand… I want people to hang out, enjoy some live music sometimes, ya know… grab a cold beer. We do happy hour all day everyday. Kinda have that vibe where you can just hang out, and not just grab food and leave. So any advice for someone’s first time? Go with the traditional Hawaiian. I mean it’s what we started the company on, with just a trailer. Selling just one bowl. That was it. It’s still on the menu today, and it’s still our number one seller.

PHOTOGRAPHER:

MIKEY LOPEZ RESIDES: NEW SMYRNA BEACH SHOOTING SINCE: 2006 AGE: 30 @low_pez

VICE and HBO make an incredible news show and we happen to know one of the guys who film it. We talked to him about his crazy workload, terrifying itinerary and working with VICE.

So, what's been going on? We've only been able to keep in touch through via Instagram, and your posts are usually from terrifying lands. Please, share with us about your job. Ohhh, ya know, same ol shit; lil surf, lil fish, lil tavern. Ha! Yeah man, the past few years have been awesome and eye opening, for sure. I’m a free lance DP and have been working with VICE, primarily shooting their weekly documentary show that airs on HBO. The show covers a broad range of global issues with a more or less raw, fly on the wall approach. So, it’s been pretty sweet. I’ve gotten an awesome opportunity to make traveling and seeing the world work, so it’s all stoke. What was your first assignment? Oh shoot dude, I don’t remember what I had for lunch yesterday! Ummm, I think it was for this story we did on the space race to Mars. I filmed with these scientists while they did all these “life on Mars” simulations in the Goblin Valley area of Utah. It was pretty funny. They were literally acting like there was no oxygen outside so they were wearing full on space suits with fishbowls on their heads communicating through radio. Do you ever tell your Mom where you are? I always tell my mother where I am. I have on one occasion reframed from telling her my specific location. But yeah, I didn’t like doing that and probably won’t put myself in a situation again where that’s something to consider. How do you prepare yourself to go into some of these places with a camera and do work? Easy, watch Larry The Enticer videos on YouTube, haha... I’ll typically do my research on the topics and places we’re going to cover beforehand. But once we are there working it’s just like tunnel vision for me, for sure. The camera definitely creates this false sense of security, which can be a little scary. But I’m

pretty trusting in the producers I work with, especially the local ones. Every place we go we hire the best and most connected local producers and that’s really important for doc stuff because local knowledge is crucial for safety, story and efficiency. When you go to places like Iraq is there an underground nightlife? Actually, yeah. I don’t know much about underground scenes. I know there’s a solid one in Tokyo, but I think for the most part any major city, even if surrounded by a war zone, will have some sort of a nightlife. To mention though, many areas in the Middle East are “dry”, so no alcohol at all. What are some of the scariest moments you've had, like the "OH shit" moment? Funny, actually I was in and out of Mosul a week after it had been liberated from ISIS, and it was pretty chill for the most part. I got back and jumped straight to a shoot in NY. While shooting with these illicit drug and arms dealers in Brooklyn, the block that we were on got shot up. Like 20 of us hit the deck and scurried indoors. I was like “2 weeks in Iraq, perfectly fine. Come back to this shit? Not uh.” What are you working on at the moment, are we allowed to ask? Uhh.. story wise I can’t disclose much, but I just did a pretty epic Colombia trip. Got to hang around these coca farmers in the middle of the Amazon for a week and shoot them growing and processing coca. Only accessible by boat, no power, and no cell service kinda shit. It was a good one. Thanks for sharing with us, any last shoutouts? Well since she was brought up, I’ll shout out my mother, because I love her. Xo smooches mum!

SPOTLIGHT

NILS SCHWEIZER Nils Schweizer, where do I start. First and foremost, it's hard not to love the guy, Nils is the man! He is always full of good vibes, is fun as hell to hang out with, has the most epic family ever, never has a bad attitude and is really exciting to watch surf. Whether it's two foot at NSB inlet or it's a 30 foot Mexico barrel, Nils has a pedal to the metal mentality. I'm not sure what takes over his mind and body when he's in massive surf, but something switches and he goes from "mellow guy" on land to an absolute madman in the water. Schweizer has done well in surf of all sizes, but his reputation in big surf in Hawaii and Mexico is what has solidified him as one of the premiere surfers globally.

Tell us something that most people don't know about you? I make a mean ceviche!

What was your favorite thing about growing up surfing the playground known as New Smyrna Beach? Being able to surf fun waves almost every day and with really good surfers was the best part! I mean, all my friends ripped, the older guys ripped, every generation seemed to rip! And the fact that it’s Florida and there’s always something rideable at the inlet is pretty special. Who is someone you've always looked up to in our surf community? Lots of people come to mind, Gorkin for his airs and radical surfing, Dave Chambers’ style, Hopper’s barrel riding, Beefer’s attitude.. I really looked up to that whole generation of guys. Hopper really took me under his wing, though, and got me into surfing big barrels! Best surf trip you've been on? P pass, a few years ago. Big, perfect, barreling rights in the middle of the pacific. 2 days of surfing that I’ll never forget. You’re based in Florida currently but spend a ton of time in Mexico. Tell us about your connection with Mex and how it all started? It started when I was 17, I think. Hopper brought me down there with my good friend, Chad Erickson. We scored some crazy big waves, bigger than anything I had surfed before, and barreling! I just fell in love with the feeling of being inside a really big barrel. So I kept going back every year, and now it’s my second home. Mexico is so raw and untouched. What are your favorite things about that area of the world? I love the amazing surf, the beautiful uncrowded beaches, all the culture and great food! I could eat carne asada tacos every day! And the snook fishing is insane! Your family is seriously the best ever. Being down there for such long stints has to be hard, right? I get a little homesick sometimes, but I spend a lot of time with my family when I’m home. So it’s a good balance. Can it be pretty gnarly at times down there? Do you feel safe when you’re in Mexico? I feel safe, but it is a really gnarly area! Lots of murders in and around the town where I’m at but is all drug and narco related. If you don’t have anything to do with drugs or narcos your safe, for the most part. I just lay low, surf and fish.

Sponsored by:

What are the biggest changes you've seen in Mexico over the years? To be honest, the place I go hasn’t changed much. It’s like the Wild West down there,

hahahaha. I guess there’s more surfers that come now, and there were no jet skis when I first started going. Now there’s a lot. Tell us something that most people don't know about you? I make a mean ceviche! What is the biggest wave you ever caught? Maybe 30ft on the face... It’s hard to say. Favorite place to eat in your home town? Clancy’s Cantina! Right as this issue was about to go to print, you had a crazy accident and got pretty banged up. Tell us what happened and if there is anything we can do to help? Well... I was riding my bike back from fishing at night when a raccoon ran out in front of me straight into my front tire, sending me flying over the handlebars! I landed with all my weight on my extended left arm, hyperextending it at the elbow and breaking the radial head in multiple places. The bone is so mangled that I need surgery to hopefully put the pieces back. If not, they have to replace that part of the bone. The price of surgery is crazy and I have no insurance, so my mom started a go fund me. I’m blown away at all the support I’ve had! I feel very blessed to have so many amazing friends and family willing to give. It’s making this whole process a lot easier. If anyone wants to donate the link is gofundme.com/8z2nbw-nils-surgery What are your plans for the rest of 2018? Hopefully the surgery goes well and I can start the healing process. I’m taking some drafting classes now, so I’ll be working on that a lot. I’m trying to get good enough to work for my dad, Kevin Schweizer, he’s a crazy talented architect! Then hopefully be getting barreled somewhere by the end of the year. Any shout outs or last words? Shout out to Randy Richenberg for shaping me some amazing boards throughout my life! I definitely would have never rode some of the waves I did without his help! He’s a legend! And I just want to thank everyone that donated to help me with my surgery. I can’t explain how grateful I am! Much love and God bless. 27

What are three items you never leave the dock without? Live bait, my loran book, and lunch.

FISHING PROFILE:

What is your favorite species to target? Bottom fish and billfish. Preferred Rig? Double rig.

CAPT. DAVE GRUBBS PHOTO: PATRICK RUDDY

Why types of fishing charters do you offer? 10 hour and 12 hour deep water. Who is your favorite person to fish with and why? My Dad because he taught me how to fish and I still learn from him even today. What attributes separate an OK fishing guide compared to what you would consider a great guide? Patience and doing whatever it takes to have a successful day of fishing. What do you feel is the biggest challenge with being a guide in our area? Dealing with the changing conditions such as tide and dirty water.

Can you tell me about how you got into guiding and how you got to where you are today? I started as a third mate at the age of 10 on the headboat Snow White II with Capt. Mike Nelson and Snow White III with Capt. Lee Carver. I got to where I am today with dedication and a passion for fishing. Do you fish tournaments? Yes, recently I fished the tournament circuit on the Grand Slam out of New Smyrna Beach. Do you have a rival when it comes to fishing competitively? No one in particular. I just fish to win. Where else, besides Florida, have you had the opportunity to fish? Mexico, Outer Banks, South Carolina, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, and The Bahamas.

Photos: Courtesy of Grubbs

Any last words or people to thank? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to thank my dad, Capt. Tad Grubbs, Capt. Piper Simmons and Capt. George Locke for their willingness to teach a young kid what it takes to be a successful fisherman, and for giving me the opportunity to fish with them. Also to my wife and girls, thank you for your support. 29

He graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Science degree and also received his J.D. degree from the Levin College of Law at the University of Florida. As a lawyer in a tight knit community, you need to maintain a great reputation that requires you to follow through on the promises made to your clients. We couldn't pick a better guy for the job! Wagner has been a staple in our community and the positive influence he has had on our community cannot be overestimated. Plus, when you're a fifth-generation Volusia County resident, you tend to know everyone in town, which always helps with business, but also gives you an invested interest for the general public’s well being. Wagner truly cares about people, and can be counted on as one of the good guys out there that you can trust to get the job done with thorough research and execution. Wagner only represents people who have been injured by the fault of another. He maintains a client-centered practice and treats all of his clients with the absolute respect they deserve. Mr. Wagner fights to make the at-fault party pay. We sat down with Wagner to hear more from the man himself. Seems like you've done a lot in your career, practicing attorney, county council, full time Dad, how do you find the time?

I have an awesome wife. She has made it so we have been able to do a lot of amazing things that are important to us. She has some great individual accomplishments as well like being a former President of the Junior League of Daytona Beach. Also, my kids are great too. They surf, fish and travel well. We are lucky they like what we like so we can spend a lot of time together.

is was fair even though I think having any non-surf areas is stupid. But, to get it passed, I was able to work out a deal. Part of being an effective politician is getting stuff done, not just being a loud mouth to get media soundbits with no real results. It was a goal for most of my friends (and me) and I was glad to be able to get that done. The other one I am not going to talk about because I don’t want to bring any attention to it. I was able to kill a project that would have utterly destroyed the waves in Smyrna. Thank you Steve Anest and many others that helped. If you see me at a bar, I will tell you the story over a drink. It was radical. As a fisherman, I helped expand our artificial reef program by triple. I also spearheaded the inshore reefs we now have near Dunlawton and Flagler Ave.

Do you miss being on the council, and what was your greatest achievement? I do miss parts of it. The time commitment was intense so it is nice having more time to travel again. I was working full time as a personal injury attorney as my “normal” job while on the Council so my free time was thin. I grew up going on a good amount of surf trips so that was hard to slow down while in office. Since being termed out on the Council last year, I have gone to Tavarua, Bahamas twice, multiple camping trips and Nicaragua 8 times. It’s nice to be back in the travel groove. As a surfer, there were two: One was getting the pier poles (surf zones) reduced by half. We met halfway with the pier fishman so everyone could feel like they won. I thought

As a good human, I pushed and helped pass the Volusia County Human Rights ordinance. It lays the foundation for protections for everyone. What do you wish you could take back? In law school, I had a few hometown friends die. My roommate asked me what was wrong with my hometown because he has not had a single friend die. I told him that being a surfer, you have the potential to have a large and diverse group of friends because you can always see them when the waves are good (or suck and just want to get in the water). I have unfortunately lost many very good friends over the years and I wish I could take back time and spend more with them. Make sure to spend quality time with your family and friends. At 40, time starts moving faster.

Do you think being creative helps in the courtroom somehow? Very much so. Knowing the law is not that hard. The hard part is knowing how to connect dots and win before you even step in the courtroom. I credit my creative side for being able to win the largest jury verdict in the history of Volusia County ($154,369,200). It was the second highest verdict in the State of Florida. I also have a client were I was able to get them $2.3 million based on one of the most creative demands I ever put together. My law degree allows me to practice law. My creativeness is how I win for my clients. What type of projects are you currently working on? I always have a few creative projects going on. I have a project where the patent was recently approved for a unique live broadcasting app.

It will be launching soon. Also, Travis Ajay and I are working on something very funny that we are sure to have a good time with. It is tied in with a lot of stuff most of the readers of Fluid will like so it should be a lot of fun. What type of advise would you give kids who would like to follow in your footsteps? Have as much free love as possible. Just kidding (not really). Surf as much as possible before you have more commitments. As you are growing up and deciding what you want to do in life, try to pick a path that allows you to enjoy your work and still allow you to surf when you want to (or whatever it is you want to do outside of work). Also, be good to your family and friends. They are the ones that are going to be there when you need their love and support. What's the ultimate goal in life for Josh Wagner? I am very goal oriented. It probably one of the reasons beyond creativity that I am a good personal injury lawyer. However, I am very sensitive to the journey to the goal. My ultimate goal is to enjoy the ride to each of the individual goals on my wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and my list. Work hard, but enjoy the ride everyone. Thanks for taking the time, we know you're much busier than us, any last shout-outs? Shout out to the Fluid Mag crew. Great work boys! I am stoked for you.

We know you well and can vouch that you are very creative, what was your background before law? I have always been into the arts. My undergrad degree is in advertising with design (yes, it is funny that I am an ambulance chaser with an advertising degree...that is why I have 386-777-7777). While in law school, I entered a worldwide shoe design contest by Hurley. I won and they flew me and Jen out for a fashion show for the shoe and other nice swag. I also have been in bands for many years. Music (and alcohol) helped me get through law school when I could not get to the beach.

CHANCLETAS BEACH RESORT NICARAGUA

PHOTOS: MATT LANTZ | INTRO: BRYAN FORAND

WHERE Hotel Chancletas (AKA The Boom) located in the northern portion of Nicaragua's Pacific beaches. WHAT Our favorite beach resort in Nicaragua. They are the closest accommodation to one of Central Americas greatest waves, The Boom. In addition to great surf, they also have great options for those interested in fishing, SUP tours, and yoga retreats. WHEN Nica loves a nice south swell. The prime time season for the pacific coast of Nicaragua is summer, but all four seasons have signs of glory at the boom. WHY It's one of the most beautiful, untouched parts of the world. The O'Brien family are the most genuine people you'll ever meet. They developed an amazing property and really dialed it in, making for a perfect trip.

I've been there 10 times and it's one of my favorite spots in and out of the water. As many know the Popoyo region has become synonymous with Nicaragua. Sure, it hosts a surplus of quality waves and offshore winds, but you're also likely to find clogged lineups. If you want to enjoy the fruitful waves of Nicaragua and have a little serenity, give the north a look. You won't regret it. BABES AND DUDES Like most surf trips, it's BYO-Babe. The guyto-girl ratio is always pretty bad in Central America. That is usually how you get into trouble anyways, locals don't like gringos coming in playing rico suave. Unless you bring the party with you, this place is not a party destination whatsoever. It's better for a bringing a few couples and enjoying a relaxing time. My wife has been and it's her favorite trip hands down. CROWD FACTOR Expect to make friends, not enemies in this area of Nicaragua. Everyone has a good

vibe and the lineups aren't nearly crowded enough to try and be the tough guy in the water. It's easy enough to be friendly to anyone you encounter! The locals are super stoked and usually wear smiles, so chat 'em up and hoot them as they get slotted on the tube of the day. WHAT TO BRING You won't find a surf shop, but that doesn't necessarily mean you need to bring a surf shop with you. Some wax and an extra leash never hurts. Ding repair is easy to find and cheap. It's not mandatory but I advise you to bring some extra goodies for the locals. Everyone also focus on bringing stuff for the guys, but don't forget about the ladies. A few items go a long way, it's good Karma and the locals will be very appreciative. IF THE SURF IS FLAT If you need a day to mend your rashes, you have a couple of options here. The pool is prime time for relaxing and kicking back a couple tonas (local beer) or cocktails. Solid

fishing, for those ready for an adventure. Yoga is always a great choice. Or if all else fails grab a spot in the hammock and fall asleep listening to waves breaking and offshore wind blowing. Interview with the owners of the Resort Shay & Loretta O'Brien

Q&A Hi Shay and Loretta. What inspired you to open a beach resort in Nicaragua? After traveling for several years to Nicaragua our confidence in the country grew and we loved the lifestyle. What can guest expected when visiting Chancletas Beach Resort? They can expect a peaceful family environment right in front of great surf. Have you seen alot of changes over the years in the area? I know you all have helped so many families out and have

employed many of the local. Foreign investment has brought a lot of new jobs in construction and tourism. We've watched many families go from living in black plastic houses with dirt floors to living in nice concrete homes with modern facilities. What is your favorite part about living in Nicaragua? The amount of open space and being able to spend so much time with our family...and of course the boom! Tell us a little bit about what the political scenario is currently? The general population ( el pueblo ) are upset with the way the President has handled peaceful protesting. People are upset about the unjust deaths of there fellow countrymen. Fortunately for anyone who would like to visit the beaches they have remained safe and quiet throughout these events. Our best advice we could give to anyone planning a trip to Nicaragua would be to drive during daylight hours.

Has it hurt business in the past few months? Business has been very slow and unfortunately we have had to let go of several staff members. What message do you have for those interested in booking a trip this summer? Experienced travelers should come on down, use your common sense and travel to the beaches in the daytime hours. We do have our extremely trusted taxi service for Chancletas if anyone would like to come! Any last words? I feel very proud of a Nation that is willing to stand up for what their beliefs are we are honored to be here through this time of struggle to try our best to support the people if Nicaragua.

JULY/AUG FISHING OUTLOOK

FISHING REPORT WITH SKYE BURKHARDT

FISHING IN THE HEAT OF SUMMER It sure is a hot one outside! What’s that saying? “A bad day on the water is better than a good day in the office.” With this mid-summer heat, however, that just may not be the case. The high temperatures are sending a lot of anglers running inside to sit in the air conditioning, sipping on a sweet cool iced tea. As for me, I need to be outside fishing daily, so I can stay consistent. Running for air conditioning is no option for this lady angler. I need to stay on top of the fish, so no matter what the weather conditions--rain, wind, heat, cold--I will be out on the water scouting, tracking down fish, learning their bite, and following those elusive reds to their next location. With this heat you will find it much more challenging to hook up. Sure, you may have found that school of reds, but with the high temps they are stubborn and won't chew.

When to fish

I find that during this time of the year, the early morning and before sundown is when the fish are biting. I am an inshore fisherman and specialize in the grassy flats of Mosquito Lagoon for redfish. The great thing about reds is you can find them year around. Of course there are better times to fish for them than others, and the summer can be a tough time of the year to catch fish, so fishing the tides will be key in your success out on the water. I prefer to fish the high tide in the flats. This pushes the reds up under and against the mangroves, protecting them from the heat. Sure, it may make it more difficult to get these fish to come out from hiding, but that leaves it to you to find the right bait.

What baits to use

I am all about artificial baits, so my bait of choice to start with is a basic paddle tail jig on a weedless hook, casting and working it alongside the mangroves. D.O.A. shrimp, Bomber lures such as a Badonkadonk, popping corks, Mirror Lures and Super Spooks are my go-tos for redfish. If all else fails, I switch to live bait. Free-lining a jumbo shrimp would work great in the deep waters and cooler days out on the flats, but right now you need to throw out bait with a stink! Pinfish or finger mullet will work, cutting their tails off to release scent in the water to attract your fish.

Where to find fish

Most fish will school up, but in the heat they tend to scatter. You will find redfish against mangroves, tarpon under bridges, and snook against finders and pilings,

which is why I look for vegetation and structure. I fish places that have cuts and openings that allow me to cast deep and to skip baits. When targeting tarpon and snook, I prefer to fish for them in the night hours; tarpon are mostly nocturnal feeders. This time of the year I find the tarpon bite to be on fire, and the same for snook. Since these species like structure, I target them posting up under bridges and under docks. I get more hits free-lining a shrimp or working artificial. My go-to for tarpon or snook is a pearl mullet paddle tail jig. You want a little weight so your bait isn’t sitting on top of the water as you are working it, so I recommend tossing on a split shot.

Don’t be that fisherman

How many of you have been so excited to just get out on the water and you were certain you had everything you needed ... but all you brought were your lures. And after trying everything in your tackle bag, nothing is biting. I know I am guilty of being that guy. This summer heat makes it difficult to get that fish to the boat. I recommend bringing both live and artificial baits, because you never know what the fish are chewing on and it is always best to be prepared. 37

TALK STORY:

MIKE'MERK'MORRIS

rowing up, I can remember how much I always wanted to impress Mike "Merk" Morris. He had it all going on, he was super fit, good looking, surfed amazing and was known as a tough character that you didn't want to cross. Well, not much has changed. Merk has gained a few years in age, but you would never know. He is still in tip top shape. Merk, or as I call him Uncle Merky, has always been a positive influence on me since a very young age. He would always include my group of friends on so many epic adventures. We are quite a bit younger and pretty obnoxious compared to him, but he tolerated us, I guess you could say. Merk always had this super cool demeanor, like nothing was a big deal, but he was always killing it in the water, and also excelled at anything he did on land from his career, to legendary parties at his house. He's done so much for me that I don't even know where to start, but my all time favorite gesture is when I graduated from UCF. I received a graduation card from Merk that included a round trip ticket & accommodations to Utah for a snowboarding trip! I will forever be grateful of all the things that Merk has done for me, and couldn't be more stoked to have a friend and mentor like Merk. Even though we always talk major trash to each other, I think Uncle Merky knows that I admire him to the moon and back. Keep shredding Merk, and don't forget, I'm going right! - Bryan Forand

What motto do you live by if any? Yes you can - yes you will - Dig Deeper. How long have you been surfing? Since 1975

What was it like in 70's-80's being a surfer in our area? It seemed a bit more simple. No internet forecasts or cameras. You just went surfing. If there was any swell Bethune at low tide, and incoming tide head towards the Inlet. Who were the top guys at the inlet back in those days? Man there was a bunch. Of course being younger then, I was impressed by a lot of guys. The Crouch brothers, Chip Clark, Tony Hume, a young little freakazoid Scotty Brill, Richenberg, Ross Pell, CB, Terry Pressley, Dean Wilson to name a few.

If you can go back 30-40 years, what advice would you give yourself?

Accept the fact that bad things happen in life. Stay calm, stay kind, and just keep on keepin’ on…. there’s a lot of great stuff coming for sure! What is the biggest difference now from when you were growing up in the New Smyrna Beach area? Too many people…..all the time….what the #^*! What type of board are you riding, and what are the dimensions? For surfing around here: 6’2” DHD (bought off the rack) kinda fishy swallow tail with bigger side fins and a trailer fin. And a 8’0” “longboard” that Stu Sharpe and Clay Lyles (Town & Country) made me. Love both of those boards. You shred on a snowboard; we've had some epic trips together. What comparisons do you see between surfing and snowboarding? We have certainly had some great trips together. The camaraderie of riding knee high powder days through the trees with friends creates a kind of bond, as does paddling out on a day of great surf and watching each other get barreled or pummeled. Each sport has certain aspects that the other might not yet they are so much the same. And they both create some serious stoke Where was your last surf trip, and did you score waves? Its unfortunately been a while. I think it was combo trip to Costa and Nica I stayed for about a month and rode a bus everywhere trying to stretch the almighty dollar (which isn’t as mighty as it used be down there) But caught some great surf and of course chased some swells (internet forecasts) that didn’t seem to show up! What is our youth lacking? Not all of them but respect and common sense seems to elude quite a few. What is the best traveling experience of your life? Man that’s a tough one. I have been very fortunate to experience many “adventures” in life. I honestly can’t pinpoint just one. Thanks for your time. Any last shout outs or thank you’s? Shout out to my wife Marcie - love you.

Are you hosting events in any other locations? Shea: I'm working with these guys on a whole surf series. We're looking to do events all up and down the East Coast. We've got a few dates in the works and we'll keep ya posted. @daytonabeachweek

August 3rd-5th is the official date for the 2nd annual Daytona Beach Week Pro/Am. Daytona Beach Week features a professional youth and adult surf competition at the Main Street Pier. With $10,000 in cash up for grabs, plus some amazing prizes such as a Flaunt Electric Bicycle & a custom board by Shea Lopez, this event is sure to bring in an amazing talent pool of surfers. This three-day event features fun and games for all ages, live music and DJs, daily beach clean ups, electric bicycle demos and more. Lets hear more from from the founders of the event, U.S. Open Champion Shea Lopez, and the men behind the scenes from Inlet Events... Charlie Gangi and Corey Morris.

It's great to hear that the event is coming back to Daytona. What was the initial driving force behind starting Daytona Beach Week? Shea: To bring a family friendly, Pro Surfing event back to the Main Street pier. What makes Daytona Beach Week different from other surf contests? Shea: Well, it's more than just a surf contest. Charlie: Exactly... We're incorporating surfing, music, art, and encouraging healthy activities for

Photo: Ruddy

contestants and spectators. Corey: Well not all healthy... We're also sponsoring a Beachside Bar Crawl during the event. Haha. But yeah, I think what makes our event unique is that it has something for everyone. Even if you're not a surfer, you're gonna have fun. Why was Daytona Beach the starting point for your contest series? Charlie: Inlet Events was contacted by the event director from Joe's Crab Shack and The Roof, Mark Rosenthal, about creating a concept for a beach themed event at the pier. I was put in contact with Shea through a mutual friend and he was stoked about the possibility of a Pro contest at Main Street. We put together our team, and we just made it happen. Has the community in Daytona been supportive and embraced the event? Shea: Yeah, it's been great. We've got some some amazing sponsors that started with us last year and are back with us again this year. Lots of new ones as well. The city and county, the lifeguards, everyone has been really supportive.

How much time and energy goes into hosting Daytona Beach Week? Corey: I'd say it's different for us all. We all have different things we have to do to make Beach Week happen. The three of us have been meeting in person weekly since before the first contest to brainstorm and bounce ideas off each other. There's rarely a day that goes by that we aren't working on it at some level. It's a year round job to do it right. Last year was the inaugural event, what are you doing to make this year bigger and better? Shea: We've got more activities and we've included the whole beachside this year. This year we added SUP Surfing, an SUP and Paddleboard Race that's all ages, a Soft Top Surf contest with free entry, and even a Beachside Bar Crawl for the adults. We loved the music line up from last year. Who do you have slotted to perform this week? Charlie: Thanks man, we have LUVU and Dizzlefunk returning to the Roof, plus Zander, Brothers Within and Dub-321. We've also got some sponsored parties all across the beachside from Main Street to Seabreeze, and over at the Oceanwalk complex. A little bit of something for everyone. Any last words? Shea: We'd just like to thank all of our sponsors and the community for the support. Positive things take positive people and we couldn't do it without all of you. 41
