It's that time of year again for dreams of catching or spearing a white seabass consumes the minds of many fishermen, including my husband's. Whenever I notice his attentions drifting away from our conversation and out to the direction of the Pacific Ocean, I know exactly what he is thinking about; White Seabass! So, the WSB season starts with me trying to find new and delicious ways of cooking this elusive fish. It also works with any mild white fish. Give it a go, it's our new favorite!
Surf-fur Wotterman Ryder DeVoe Talks about his experiences underwater with Orcas, dolphins and swordfish.

Our hearts are with all of you as we experience this global shift. We have been faced with the opportunity to walk slowly, breathe, open up our senses and focus on health and quality time with loved ones (out of the water). No one is alone in this and we are determined to continue to spread the warmth during this time and long after this has passed. We understand the impact that this is having with each and every person on earth and believe that one day we will be able to tell remarkable stories of triumph and tenderness.

Our favorite Polar Bears, the Coney Island Polar Bear club, is at it again this Winter. They laughed at the forecast for a snow-filled, below-zero Saturday morning and went for a short swim with not much more than some booties and swim suit. Of course they had their Surf-furs for protection.
Two of our styles were recently reviewed by the “Lone Swimmer”, an Irish open water swimmer who writes a popular swim blog. The name arose because of the Open Water Rule Number One, Never Swim Alone. However, most of his swimming was alone. He began to share information and knowledge to every level of swimmer on his…
On a planet where everything is connected, the health of our oceans is intimately linked to social and economic well-being. About 8 million tons of plastic enters the ocean every year (Jambeck et al., 2015). Part of this accumulates in 5 areas where currents converge: the gyres. At least 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic…
Every three to five years, driven by a reversal in the trade winds, an El Niño, a huge bulge of warm water under a blanket of tropical storms, hits the western most extension of South America, burying the cool Humboldt Current and dropping heavy rains on Peru and Ecuador, often around Christmas–hence the name El…
