my good bud Tommy ( @tommy89 ) snapped this shot of me at Mavericks this past winter. i remember looking up at the lip coming down at me and thinking, 'this'll hurt.' it did. I signed the frame recently and its up for sale at @fogcityjava in Pacifica. #WorthTheBeating

big ups to my colleagues at John Muir Hospital, I was supposed to work 0700-1500 and put out a desperation plea for a shift trade, Alex hooked me up and traded me his 1500-2300 so I could bag this one around 1030!! just getting to work now, I'm incredibly lucky to work at a place with so many understanding individuals that help each other out. after this El Nio winter I owe quite a few favors!! I'll get ya all back over the summer, promise! can't thank everyone behind the scenes enough

thought Travis Payne's second place finish in the @titansofmavericks Event was a fluke? guess again. @travpayne doing T Payne things earlier this week on a 9'0. safe to say his spot in the contest is safe for many, many years : @frank_quirarte_photo

happy birthday love @genevieveisola .. it's been a crazy week! from the @titansofmavericks event pre contest build up and hype, some sudden change of plans, to a full experience on the water, to a pretty epic after party - complete with my heroes Greg (@gerglong ) Long and Kohl (@deepwatersurf ) Christenson getting the entire crowd to sing happy birthday to her (all their idea, thanks boys!!), to a next mornings drive up to Tahoe, just a little worse for the wear , to an incredible 'SURPRISE!' cried out by all of our lovely friends waiting for me to deliver the guest of honor to the party we were just a little late to cause of some surf contest. I think it's safe to say she won't be forgetting this one anytime soon. love you genevieve!

gave it a 100% effort but unfortunately still haven't cracked the first round at Mavericks. this picture pretty much says it all, I got a solid one during the fog delay before the event started too .. still had an absolute blast at the @titansofmavericks event, cheering on my cousin @travpayne while he put on an absolute clinic all the way to the final was extremely gratifying to watch and experience. huge congratulations to @nic_lamb - it was inspiring to watch you and Travis take the day over, safe to say a changing of the guard is unfolding. BIG thank you to Griffin, Kelsey, Brian O, Jeff, Ambrose, Rhodes, Banner, Flea, and everyone that made this event so memorable. I'm also absolutely blown away by the amount of love and support I received from Pacifica and the coast side, I'm so humbled and have never felt so proud to call this place home. here's to going bigger next time around!!!!

@travpayne making the finals and getting 2nd in the @titansofmavericks event was one of the most surreal experiences I've ever been a part of. kept telling him I had a good feel that he was gonna get in the event as 1st alternate and take some names, he definitely took full advantage. so stoked for you man, congratulations on an incredible performance! this dude is a FORCE! #gamerecognizegame

here we go! anecdotal story for the literary types: my girlfriends birthday ( @genevieveisola ) happens to be this weekend. months ago she predicted, "I bet the Mavs contest happens on my birthday." i said no way, that won't happen. of course, as fate would have it, she was spot on. turns out my lady is a psychic! I'll be competing Friday then jamming up to Tahoe the following day to celebrate her special day! #priorities

Dan the Man @danthebarber has been cuttin' my hair for the past few years; always nails it and I never look so good as I do when I walk out of @fellowbarbersf - thanks to @byrdhair for flow in the peeps there with some product. well done @mysterbyrd this stuff is legit! @danthebarber with @repostapp.Always a pleasure to catch up with the homie @colindwyer to talk about the coast and some huge fuckin waves. Styled with @byrdhair light pomade because it's surf stuff for surf guys so I thought it would be a good fit, plus it smells good.

perspective is everything. . .theres a lot more water below and behind. part of the mystique of Mavericks is how far below sea level it breaks. you can be in the channel looking fifty feet down at someone bottom turning on a wave with no back. sometimes it makes photos of Mavs look incredible, but more often pictures don't do the wave justice
today marks the end, and beginning, of a new day for me - as a surfer, adult, and professional. for the past 10 years, since I was 15, I have been devoted to Mavericks as if it's my religion; I've carried my fathers legacy, represented my home town of Pacifica, carried the torch from the likes of Shawn Rhodes and Matt Ambrose, who paved the way for me and my sparring mate and cousin Travis @travpayne Payne, paid my dues, earned respect and solidified my spot in big wave lineups. Today I miss my first real swell at Mavericks, for good reason: I begin my career as an Emergency Department Technician at a prestigious local hospital. Will this make my sponsors happy? No. Am I jealous that I wasn't handed a golden all expenses paid sponsorship ticket from the fickle surf industry to compete and travel the world surfing for a paycheck? yes, but also no. there is no price for intelligence, a good education, and integrity. I am beholden to no one but me. I will be there to compete w

good luck to everyone competing at Jaws today. I'm puttin my money down on @therealaarongold or @gerglong !! then again.. any one of the guys in the comp could take it. I've yet to surf jaws but my highly competitive inner voice is still shouting 'put me in coach' .. I'll have to 'settle' for being in one big wave event only

At age 25, it might be hard to believe that I've been a part of nearly every Opening Ceremony since Mavericks began hosting a surfing invitational. My father, Steve Dwyer ( @sfdwyer3 ), competed in those early days and even landed a cover shot on the @sfchronicle Newspaper for an absolute bomb he rode on his @dave_parmenter shaped masterpiece. Thanks to the event organizers at @titansofmavericks I experienced an incredible weekend alongside some of my heroes and fellow competitors. We visited @pandora_radio on Friday to curate individual mix tapes; gathered Saturday for our traditional opening ceremony and prayer circle on the beach and in the water at Mavericks - followed up by a Ferrari ride to the after party (I didn't drive, but I convinced my driver Scott to PUNCH it!!). If that's not enough, we were treated to a VIP experience at @the_bridge_school Benefit Concert yesterday where we saw Ryan Adams, Ben Harper, Sheryl Crow, The Dixie Chicks, and Neil Young put on an ab

Thank You @prana for the new 'fit! black jeans, black shirt, and a black striped hoody - these will slide into my daily rotation quite nicely!! also, all the cotton used to make their clothing is organic and Fair Trade Certified, so I can feel better about what's covering me; doesn't hurt that it's also comfortable as hell.

looking back on what was ultimately a disappointing winter at #Mavericks - this day was XXL everything: waves, crowd, south wind, boats and media presence. I felt lucky just to catch two set waves to myself. looking forward to a new winter and hopefully, big things . . .#PickEm#80GuysOut#FrothOnOverload#PleaseDontBurnMeOnThisOneGuys#2WavesIn6hours#iTaggedKaepernickinCaseHeWantsAnotherKindofSuperBowl#2Colins#PersonalHashtagRecord#PleaseLetTheRugbyStarLooseThisSeason#GoNiners : @powerlinesproductions @sk_shape @xcelwetsuits @creaturesofleisure @norcalsurfshop @titansofmavericks @49ers
