Luke Fuhrman

This week, we interviewed with one of our own surf athetes Luke Fuhrman to get some insite for those who dont know him. This young 15 year old hails from Hunington Beach CA. At the early age of 7 he started shredding the knar due to his friends and family who surfed. When he started getting serious, went to surf camps and got private coaches as well to improve himself. When asked what he loves most about surfing, he awnsered "just the amazing feeling of learning a new trick, or getting that perfect wave". He competes in CCSA comps as well as on his schools varsity surf team. Other things that interest Luke is skating, BMX, and riding dirt bikes. After a long good day of surfing, the best food he would choose to have would be Pick Up Stix. (And might i just say that i just went there for the first time and OMG... Amazing. Probably not healthy, but good all the same). And after a very nice interview, we asked what would be the perfect day for this kid. His response was, Wake up, go surf his brains out, hit up Pick up Stix and end it off with some girls. Short and simple, got to like that. Well this is Luke Fuhrman everyone. Look for him in the future to come up through the ranks. Keep it up Luke.

Staying Focused

Athlete Tyler Morris got into a dangerous situation while out at the North Shore of Hawaii preparing for the Pro Jr Nationals. He and Pro surf Legend Derrick Dorner were at Makaha Beach with 25 footers pounding in, it literally took them one hour and fifteen minutes of intense paddling to get to line up.

Tyler was a bit sketched out when he heard Derrick say "go for it". Tyler ended up missing that wave and that's where the trouble started, he looked back only to see four MASSIVE mountains of water coming at him. He was paddling for his life when he realized he had to dive for the bottom. The wave crashed and he was violently thrown around and around. Once it stopped he made it up for a gulp of air, just in time to see two more walls of water heading straight for him. He was jerked and twisted around so much he didn't know up from down anymore, that's when he saw a glimmer of light and swam for the surface.

Now for the bad news, when he went to take a breath of air all he got was lungs full of sea foam. The last wave hit and he was underwater for what felt like an hour, long story short Tyler survived this "near death" experience. He was exhausted and kicked out to the left where he relaxed in still water thankful to be able surf another day.
