I just wanted to say I very much appreciate all of the well wishes, kindness, support, love, and good vibes that have been sent our way.

On Tuesday afternoon while teaching Brian suffered a hemorrhagic stroke and was life flighted to Portland where he is now in critical care. Brian survived emergency brain surgery and is currently stable. At this point it is unclear what recovery will look like as he may need to be on life support for a few more days.

Brian knows how to be tough and gruff, but he also knows how to be caring, hardworking, empathetic, and to see the good in people. I’m so thankful to know him and to learn from him, and I hope he can recover from this. He is so strong and I aspire to be someone who has that strength. He always has to have a project or something to work on and recovering from this is going to be his next project. He’s going to have to work hard, which is something he is no stranger to.

I know so many people in our community are wondering how he is doing and I will try to keep you updated on here when I can 💕 Thank you all so much for your love and support, I so appreciate being part of such an amazing community. Please keep my Dad in your thoughts and prayers.

Come check out and demo Ocean Rodeo's Brand new smoothy boards at Brian's this summer! New for the 2019 season, these boards offer a more classic shape than the Mako but still cut through the chop like butter.
