Island Hoppers Season 2??

What is Island Hoppers?

Island Hoppers is the quest for surf, music and culture in the Caribbean Islands. Lance-O and Lexi host this incredible web series, taking you to new island destinations in High definition each week. Previous episodes include Jamaica, St Kitts, St Martin, St Croix, Nevis, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Tortola, St Thomas, Nicaragua (Corn Islands), and Eleuthera, Bahamas.

And who are you?

We are Kulchashok - A group of INDEPENDENT Filmmakers, DJ’s, Producers and Surfers who are passionate about the Caribbean culture and lifestyle.  

Where can I watch Island Hoppers? 

The first season of Island Hoppers is currently available on Amazon.com.  The future seasons and episodes of Island Hoppers will be offered for FREE on our home page and syndicated on Youtube.com. No more distribution companies, no more networks and no longer will you have to rent an episode to watch. Our new content will be made available to you for FREE!

What are you trying to do?

Island Hoppers’ initial goal is to raise enough funding to film and discover 5 to 10 new Caribbean destinations for our second season.

Who else is involved? 

Island Hoppers will be looking to include the talents of our professional surf friends from around the world  to bring an additional level of stoke to the program. Past Pro surfers include Scott Marvin, Nick Guilarte and Travis Beckman. Don’t forget about the local pros from each country as well, people like Roby Reid, the former National Champion of the Dominican Republic.

Where does the money go?

Every penny goes directly into cost of production of Island Hoppers. As you know travel can be expensive. Our budget includes flights, car rentals, food, insurance, taxes, video equipment, web site maintenance, crew wages and post production. Island Hoppers knows how to run on a bare bones budget and still produce a beautiful show that looks like it was produced by a large production company.

What’s your ultimate GOAL?

Island Hoppers is dedicated to bringing you the best of what the Caribbean has to offer. Culture, history, people, music, scenery, food, experiences and surfing!  This is what we want to bring you. Sit back any day, come to our channel and choose your island destination from our list of episodes. Stay as long as you want, segments run  roughly 5 minutes each but there are several segments for each island episode. This is our goal, to bring you hours of entertainment from the islands and to give the islands the exposure they need to boost tourism. All without exposing any sensitive secret spots!

300-Foot No-Surf Zone Has Flagler Beach Surfers Angling for Battle

PRESS RELEASE

As Tom Gillin describes it, the problem has been around as long as fishing and surfing have been around, if not almost as long as recorded history (there's evidence of surfing as far back as 3000 years ago): where there are jetties and piers, there are surfers, because jetties and piers amplify the quality of surfing. And where there are jetties and piers, there are fishermen, because the same conditions that make for good surfing create eddies that make for good fishing. But fishermen and surfers are the yin yang of beaches: polar opposites connected by the barnacle-rich array of pylons.

And in Flagler Beach, they're at it again.

New Shaping bay completed

I can finally say that the new shaping bay or you could call it a cave is finally completed! It is a small tight space that is going to take some getting use to but we can still bring big things out of it. Along with moving the location the label has also changed to SMD. Looks like I will be able to be in there by the end of the month building some boards for the winter and gearing up for the future.

Finally back

Back from injury finally, I am sure it was minor compared to what a lot of people endure. But for me tearing one of the main lower back muscle's on one side was the most pain I have ever been in. It hurt to sleep hurt to sit in a car it hurt more then I can describe. But after several trips to the acupuncturist and lots of  rest while looking at the waves and wanting nothing but to surf. My back is now feeling 90%! So of course had to make a road trip last weekend to the valley waves were far from all time but was able ti find some close out barrels and do some super rad floaters. But it was nice just to get in the water and feel ready for the winter. Looks like we already have some North swells lining up so hopefully we will have a busy season. Which will also force me back into the shaping bay to get some fresh new boards going .
