EMBRYOLISSE- I ♥ IT

"Embryolisse was formulated in the 1950’s by a physician who desired to create his own pharmaceutical skin care brand that met the expectations and acceptance of his profession...bla bla bla..."

Normally I never read and belive this sort of information. But after a really good friend of mine suggested this cream (since I spend a lot of time in the sun and surfing, so my skin is really dry and dull.) So I read the description above and decided to give the cream a chance. And guess I just love it and it works so well. So for all you girls out there get your hands of it. Its the shit;D


"Embryolisse was formulated in the 1950’s by a physician who desired to create his own pharmaceutical skin care brand that met the expectations and acceptance of his profession...bla bla bla..."

Egentligen läser jag aldrig sådan här information, men efter att en av mina bästa vänner föreslog den har krämen( J
ag tillbringar mycket tid i sol och surfar, min hy känns jättetorr och tråkig.) Så jag läste på och bestämde mig för att ge krämen en chans. Och gissa den funkar hur fint som helst och jag bara älskar den. Så alla tjejer försök hitta den. Jepp its the shit;D

HOSSEGOR 2011 By Titi from One Style Production - DELAGE.T on Vimeo.

Getting close to a New Year,getting really exited what will happed next year. Anyway here is a small teaser of summer, made by One Style Production. This is where I live, in Hossegor.It was filmed summer 2011 and look isnt it a really beautiful region.

Snart är det Nytt år och jag tycker det skall bli toppen är riktigt exalterad, vad kommer att hända? spännande. I allafall här är ett litet smakprov av sommaren. Det är en lite film gjord av One Style Production. Här bor jag, i Hossegor, den filmades i somras 2011 och visst är det en vacker region.

A DECLARATION OF INDEPENDANCE - DANE REYNOLDS






I just wonder Dane Reynolds/the world tour. Yes he is to cool for school,here is his letter to everyone. He quit the world tour. This is his letter from Marine Layer Production.

"I’ve been getting some pressure from various people and/or websites to write something, sorta like an official statement concerning my exit from the world tour. my dismount. my pirouette. ‘an opportunity level with your fans.’ that’s what they tell me. people wanna know whats goin on. be up to date. i can understand that. i like knowing whats going on. i like being up to date.
one thing to remember is that i have a heart and i have bones and muscle and skin and eyes and teeth. i have emotions. sometimes i act according to emotions. sometimes i think and make a conscious decision. i usually do that. in fact i usually think too much. sorta neurotic. i make mistakes, and i deal with them. i have fears and i have anxiety and i have insecurities and i have vices which i often give in to. social situations enhance all of these qualities. i could probably use some discipline, and lots of things bum me out, but generally i’m happy, and i enjoy making other people happy. sometimes all it takes is a smile. sometimes it takes a lot more than that. i try to be honest. especially with myself. i know that i’m fortunate. i’m sitting here and i have a pulse and i can breath and i hear birds outside and the buzz of the freeway and the suns about to set and it’s a friday. that’s fortune. i also know that i’m fortunate in many other ways. three brands support me and enable me to surf every day and travel and eat and have a house to live in. in return i represent their company in a positive way. i feel like i do a decent job. but that’s obviously up for debate. surfing is my passion in life. i always think about how lucky we are that there’s even an ocean, and its not too hot or too turbulent and it’s not made of acid that burns our skin off. and how lucky is it that the land tapers into the ocean in just the right way so that when lumps of energy approach from a thousand miles away they gently rise up and crash at just the perfect speed so that we can wave our little arms and match their speed and hang at the crest weightless for just a second before sliding down the face. free to ride it in any way you please. and there’s not just one of them. there’s tons of them. they keep coming. all different sizes shapes and speeds. everyday they’re different. endless joy.

there are of course a number of things that get in the way of feeling this joy: crowds, twitter impostors, eggy locals, eggy surf bloggers, overzealous surf photographers, chris mauro and rip curl contests, just to name a few. that was sort of a joke, but not really, and besides, surfing isn’t just about joy. it’s also a sport. an industry. and we must not mix business with pleasure. by accepting endorsements i assume a certain responsibility. some think that responsibility is to compete. to put on a jersey and crush my opponent. despite a flimsy one dimensional criteria and an inconsistent playing field that causes the end result to rarely come down to performance alone. maybe that’s the fun of it. i don’t know. i do enjoy it. but do i believe in it? enough to dedicate the better part of my life to it? or is that irrelevant because it’s my responsibility? i didn’t have to answer this question because knee surgery in january answered for me. by the time i was healing i was already gone. three buttons to the wind. adventure over responsibility. career suicide! blowing my potential. wasting my talent. i heard the buzz.

in all reality i was being constructive in a different way, traveling to a variety of locations and pushing personal boundaries in an attempt to learn, grow, and improve. it’s not as immediate as a contest webcast, and heaven forbid its enjoyable, but in the end it’s equally important and i’ve been neglecting it for too long because i was in a comfy space where contest results alone were satisfying. in order to be successful in surf competition you need to refine your act into a nice little package presentable in a 30 minute period in a number of trying conditions. you need to kill the variables. trim the loose ends. stay on your board. know your equipment. wave selection. endlessly try to revisit motions that score the most points. there are obviously exceptions to this. kelly slaters full rotation slob air reverse in new york. that was not a motion revisited and it was epic. on the beach afterwards: ’so kelly slater, how was that slob air reverse!’ ‘oh, is that what that’s called?’ also john john florence and gabriel medina. maybe it’s only a matter of time before they refine their act, but for now i’m really impressed with their competitive success despite such rawness. rawness is good. surfing with john john this year in japan was enlightening. it was like every wave he was exploring new territory. i wanna explore new territory! i wanna unwind! by the end of the trip i felt improved and rejuvenated and then crunch! i busted my ribs at the mercy of a fresh typhoon swell. nearly drowned. another month out of the water. gotta pay to play. especially when you’re trying to keep up with john john in waves of consequence.

and so here i am. 26. officially off tour. wasted talent. blown potential. refusing responsibility. ‘all he wants to do is sit at home and play with crayons and ride fucked up boards.’ but wait! but wait! that’s not true! don’t listen to chris mauro. he’s a dinosaur. doesn’t get it. this may be the end as a wct contender, but its also a new beginning. i feel like a baseball. the skins been carefully pried off and there’s a thread and i’m gonna pull it and i’m gonna end up a pile of string on the floor. but then maybe i’ll be knit into something more useful, like a sweater. or perhaps something beautiful, like a hand embroidered masterpiece of a deer and two fawn drinking cold clear water out of a creek. but you never know. i hope to achieve some sort of balance. yeah, i do like riding fucked up boards, but i also like doing airs and taking some aggression out on a cutback. and competings rad if you can stay inspired, but rankings and trophy’s mean very little to me. i wanna learn, i wanna make things, things of purpose, be productive. travel. new experiences. new sensations. and most importantly explore the outer limits of performance surfing. i’ll still compete. but its not going to consume me.

finding this balance will be a challenge. but its just a step in an endless set of steps. a staircase. it’s sort of a big step. too big to just hop up. i gotta climb. like, with a rope and safety gear and shit. and i might get there and be bummed out and like my old step better but that’s just the mystery of life and i’m happy to experience it. and i’m endlessly in debt to the ones who make it possible. firstly surf fans who have resonated with my surfing for one reason or another, because at the bottom of everything, you’re the only reason i’m able to have the sponsorship that allows me to travel and eat and pay the bills and continue surfing. secondly my sponsors: channel islands believed in me from the ripe age of 13 and continue to craft boards that allow me perform at my highest potential and also craft boards that have nothing to do with performance at all, but make you realize how much joy you can get out of a simple high line. i thank quiksilver for their unwavering support, re-signing me during a year of uncertainty and working with me on honest marketing and products. i also thank vans for picking me up. every person on the team is one of my favorite surfers and/or people and i’m honored to be apart of it. there are, of course, hundreds of people worth thanking here, but this is who comes to mind tonight: my girlfriend courtney, for giving me inspiration, giving me perspective, giving me love and giving me treats. blair, for keeping my otherwise maelstrom of a life in order. my parents, for their conflicting views. i don’t think i would have done very well in an ordinary functioning family household. my father particularly for dedicating countless weekends driving me up and down the coast to compete. that was a huge sacrifice. also my mom for preaching creativity, fearlessness, and keeping everything bullshit free. and my brother brek for administering many humbling experiences from a very early age. my grandparents, for being probably my biggest fans on earth. particularly grandma bonnie and papa chuck, who come to every surf contest on the west coast. they show up at 7 am to get good parking, even if i surf at 3. and also grandpa bob for giving me his super 8 cameras when i was 18 and instilling a lifelong hobby.

You where one of the public favorites  on the tour.Hope you get the good surf out there, get the good waves. Respect!!

HELP SAVING THE ATLANTIC RAIN FOREST IN BRAZIL - MAKE A DONATION


I just love project like this one saving the rain forest in Brazil. The long term goal of the Atlantic Rain forest Institution (ARFI ) is to create a 30 kilometer long ecological corridor, that leads from the banks of Rio Contas all the way to the „Serra do Conduru State Park“, where a study realized by the Botanical Garden of New York identified 456 different tree species in one hectare (100m x 100m) – this is considered a world record in biodiversity!
By connecting the remaining patches of rainforest to an ECOLOGICAL CORRIDOR they can ensure that the gene pool for plants, animals and microorganisms becomes larger. A larger gene pool means a wider genetic diversity – a healthy bio diversity. To protect remaining forests is one thing, but to turn this into a sustainable project they have to include the local people that help reforest degraded areas by small and sustainable Guarana cultivations.
So make a donation its simple its fast and even with a small amout you make a change.

Jag älskar projekt som detta med regnskogen i Brasilien. I det långa loppet vill the Atlantic Rain forest Institution (ARFI ) bilda en 30 kilometer lång "ekologisk  korridor" som går från Rio Contas hela vägen till Serra do Conduru State Park. Studier har gjorts och detta område anses ha världsrekord i mångfald av olika arter, detta enligt Botaniska trädgården i New York.
Så genom attsammanföra dessa områden med den sk ekologiska korridoren så blir området större som i sin tur gör att mångfalden ökar. Att skydda regnsskogen är en sak men att göra det till ett långtgående projektär en annan sak så arbetar de med lokalbefolkningen och de i sin tur odlar Guarana som hjälper till att upprätthålla skogen.
donera en slant det är enkelt , snabbt gjort och även en liten summa gör skilllnad.

SEAPUNK - LIFE IS A BEACH











¨Life is a beach¨ right at least if you refer too Seapunk,so what is it? Seapunk the genre, music, lifestyle, that supports all things oceanic started a while ago and is now spredding around the globe. So think sandy beaches, surf, blue water, shells, palm trees, pina colada, wales, dolphins, rolling waves, rave and beats with among others Wu Tang Clang samples. Will I be surfing the grooves into 2012 oh yeah just love it and I love the ocean concept


¨Life is a beach¨ i alla fall enligt Seapunk så vad är det? Seapunk är genren,musiken, lifsstilen som supportar ja hur skall man säga havet. Startade för ett tag sedan och sprider sig nu runt om i världen. Så tänk sandstränder, surf, snäckor blått hav, palmer, pina colada, valar, delfiner, vågor, rave och beats med bla Wu Tang Clang samples så har du det. Kommer jag surfa på musiken in i 2012  jepp absolut I like och framför allt havskonceptet.

MY CHRISTMAS BOOTS - CHLOÉ



These CHLOÉ Canvas and leather wedge ankle boots I want them badly. They would be perfect when I go to cold and hopefully snowy Sweden during Christmas, finger crossed. Need a warmer coat though.

Dessa ankelstövlar från CHLOÉ i kanvas och läder jag vill verkligen ha dem. Dom skulle bli perfekta när jag åker till kalla och förhoppningsvis snöiga Sverige i jul. Behöver dock en varmare kappa.

FOOLS CANT SURF - PROJECT EDUCATION



FCS "Fools Can't Surf" from Marcus Gomez on Vimeo.

 Local Pro Surfer Chris Dennis takes time every weekend to help teach these young kids to surf and also tries to help them read and learn in a positive way. The Title "Fools Can't Surf" came from a saying that Chris has with the kids because before they are allowed to surf they have to do some sort of fun educational activity whether it be reading a surf magazine or learning new words. He collects broken and hand me down boards and repairs them with any materials available just to get another kid on the water. This is their story. To donate boards or other surfing equipment feel free to email: marcusgphotography@yahoo.com

Den lokala proffs-surfaren Chris Dennis hjälper på helgerna barn att surfa och utbilda sig på ett roligt sätt, därav namnet ¨Fools cant surf¨. För innan de hoppar i vattnet så måste de göra någon lärorik aktivitet, som att läsa en surftidning eller lära sig nya ord. Chris Dennis samlar brädor och utrustning och lagar med de material som finns tillgängliga för att fler barn skall få tillgång till att surfa. Filmen här är deras historia. Om du har några brädor eller annan utrustning över ta kontakt med marcusgphotography@yahoo.com

DRINK WATER - AUSTIN SMITH AND BRYAN FOX











Drink water is a friendly reminder of exactly that ¨to drink water¨ Its professional snowboard guys Austin Smith and Bryan Fox in the frontline and this is their words

¨In 2011, we began writing Drink Water on our snowboards. Drink Water became some sort of statement, movement, mission, or whatever it is, and we bought some silkscreens and started making t-shirts, stickers, and sweatshirts. We gave a bunch away, and people we respect wore them with pride.
As we encouraged folks to drink water, we learned that nearly a billion people on Earth don't have access to clean drinking water--that's 1 out of every 8 people. In some parts of the developing world, that lack of clean drinking water is deadly.
For every Drink Water purchase, 10% of profits will be donated to provide drinking water for someone in need. We're supporting a non-profit, water.org, as they drill wells to fight the water crisis.
We're out to spread the Drink Water word. We don’t sell water, we just drink it.
Thank you for your time and consideration. We'll see you out there.

JODIE FOSTER - SKATER GIRL




And how cool is this! Jodie Foster also hit the skateboard when she was younger. She is one of my absolute favorites in cinema The Panic Room , Silent of the Lambs, Bugsy Malone and remember her role in Taxi Driver against Robert De Niro, she was only thirteen.

Och hur coolt är inte detta,  Jodie Foster åkte också skateboard som ung. Hon är en av mina absoluta favoriter när det galler film The Panic Room ,När Lammen tystnar, Bugsy Malone och vem kommer inte ihåg hennes roll i Taxi Driver mot Robert De Niro, hon var bara 13 år.

The competition is dedicated in memorial of surfer Andy Irond that passed away last year.

Check the live casts it might get ridiculous good.

Hela tävlingen är dedikerad till minne av surfaren Andy Irons som gick bort för ett år sedan. Ni som inte talar swellish så ser det ut att bli stort och " solid" under Fredagen med början idag Torsdag för att sedan droppa under helgen. Kolla in livesändningarna kan bli löjligt bra.

NAKED SHAMPOO - LUSH


What happens if you take away all the liquid in the shampoo, what is left? This is something LUSH have been thinking about. So in their Naked Shampoo line there is no liquid, so you are washing your hair with shampoo bars. There are different sorts of bars depending on your hair, its just to choose. I fell for the Turquoise Seanik with nori seaweed and sea salt. Lush is calculating that every bar hold for up to 80-100 washes. Imagine how many shampoo bottles you save. Environmently friendly thinking yes!

Vad händer om man tar bort all vätska i shampoot vad finns kvar? Detta är något LUSH har tänkt på och gjort slag i saken. I deras linje Naked Shampoo finns ingen vätska utan det är "shampoobars" som man tvättar håret med. Det finns olika sorters bars för olika hår det är bara att välja. Själv föll jag för turkosa Seanik som innehåller sjögräs och havssalt. Dom räknar med att varje bar skall hålla ca 80-100 tvättar. Tänk vad många shampooflaskor man sparar, ja bättre miljötänk helt enkelt.
