Sunrise & Shine: Issue 1 (Aug. 25, 2023)
Sunrise and shine: your Friday morning coffee creamer
A weekly newsletter covering everything in, on, or around the water in Florida (but pretty much just surfing). From events, to films, to podcasts, to the actual worthwhile content on that social media stuff, we’ve got your weekly dish of what’s cookin right here.
So, don’t spend your time scrolling aimlessly on Instagram sifting through the junk Mark thinks you want to see. Just swing through here every week and get your coffee-cup fill of what’s good in Florida’s waters.
*CAUTION: contents hot.
Mind if I join?
Big day in NSB with a Florida Board Riders Fat Tire Cup event in the morning and the Florida Surf Film Festival in the evening. Festival is sold out, so if you’re still trying to get tickets, you’ll have to go full Taylor-Swift-Eras-Tour to find some. If you do snag a seat, you could win this edgy little board.
Worth a watch
Farm boys (Patagonia): if you need inspiration on how to farm, compost, weld, re-create, recycle, up-cycle, bi-cycle, tri-cycle, and surf better.
The Kangs (Rip Curl) new Search film featuring Mick, Mason, and Gabe. Thumbnail looks cool, haven’t watched it yet, but Mason’s always a hoot.
