Capping off 2020 strong with Season 2: Episode 60 on the LAST day of the year! I think Season 3 may be launching in the coming weeks with some tweaks following a Season 2 Highlight edit... so I heard. 😬😬😬
Brett, have you ever smelt iron before? It smells a LOT like bilberries. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Brett, I"m Johnny level. Rodney level. Brett, you gotta be lobbying for me to write North Shore II. You know I'm the only one around that can write it. I'm a 70s guy. I came up through the evolution. My first board was a single fin. Second board a twin. tldr; You know why you need the charcoal, right Brett - there's 2 reasons actually. 1) increase the temperature - it burns hotter since there's no water in it. 2) provide carbon monoxide for the reaction to occur to free the iron (from the oxide) You're not gonna smelt your iron without your charcoal, so I hope you know how to make that.
Brett, when we head to sociaiism, and there's a lot more people with a lot more leisure time, you're gonna wish we had these inventions... I've got some doozies - many.
Just being me... Never want to pretend to be something I’m not, or pretend somethings better than it is. Just wanna share the stoke, and the joy we can get from simple things. Appreciate the kind words.
I was literally talking to guy from South Carolina here in Peru about that exact topic. Brett is a well-known chill surfer, who needs Ego crap when you want to enjoy yourself.
I wish I had worked up the nerve to paddle out with y’all that morning. I could hear y’all laughing from the beach. I went out in the afternoon and the next day. Had a blast and FINALLY surfed the lighthouse. Some of the most fun I’ve had in the water.
I have lived and surfed on the obx my whole, I cant surf anything bigger than 4 to 6 ft, I cant even make it too the line up it's scary, seriously, your a legend!
Great christmas gift, great video...short time on the water is better than no time , rock on. Have been 2019 the first time to OBX and loved this place. Hope to come back one day. Greetings from Germany.
Glad you got some gorgeous fun waves and then to top it off a delicious perfect roast for family dinner ! beautiful surfing beautiful Christmas !!! Love it !!
appreciate the kind words! I wont stop unless I have a drastic career change... so the clips will just keep coming! got one dropping in an hour! thanks for all the support :)
Watching at work... couldn't ask for a better way to ring in the new year... getting paid while watching the best video on you tube!! Happy New Year to you and your family!!
Happy new year to you & your family Brett! Thanks for the awesome videos you put together & share. I always look forward to new uploads from you. Quality footage & killer background tunes create a super chill experience to watch. Thank you.
People may say "How could you only surf for an hr when it was pumping", but family always comes 1st, and as we saw, although not as big, the waves looked super fun and sic the next day!!! Happy family. Happy Brett. Win Win. Happy New Year. Looking forward to more great content from you and your adventures in 2021🏄🤙
Fantastic video- as always! I hope you guys get a giant striper blitz in the surf and you can make a video on that... This is the time of year when it can happen and I am wondering how many times you have caught them in the suirf. One Christmas about 15 years ago I was catching 30 pound stripers in the surf up at Nags Head every cast- I was actually hooking them with an 8 weight fly rod, it was pure mayhem as those fish were everywhere. Between the surf potential and the fishing potential the Outer Banks really is a unique place on this planet. I think it is incredible that you are right there at the epicenter of all that and you are able to document how awesome that little strip of sand is....Thank you again Brett for the great videos!!!
Big Striper actually don’t come down here anymore. Hasn’t been a showing of em off the beach in over 10yrs sadly... migration changed. Water isn’t as cold as it use to be. Maybe they’ll come back some day
Thanks Brett for another year of great vids and taking us along for the ride. We appreciate the effort you put in. Do you know if one of the camera guys on the beach got Cams ride you talked about, if so, were can we see it?
No one got it. It happened before Jeffrey got there, as did my wipeout. Cam said he was way down the beach too... so Jeffrey wouldn’t have been able to get it anyway.
It's also the angle of that ripping offshore wind. When we see conditions like that with a ripping offshore wind, it's full RED ELERT status. Usually, we only see about 1 day (usually half a day) of epic conditions after a front blasts offshore. So every minute is so valuable to get into the surf. I've seen days where its gone from over-head barrels with huge rainbow offshore spray to completely flat in 3-6 hours. It all depends if the front keeps pushing hard offshore or it stalls or slows down just off the coast (the dream setup - that doesn't happen too often). Usually when offshore winds blow that hard, the front will keep pushing offshore and the wind eventually beats it down to nothing. We had perfect waves on Mother's Day. Even today I feel bad because I just had to go out because the surf was so good (smooth as glass and chest to just overhead surf). So I did my best to divide up the day, but I still can't get that day out of my head. When the surf is perfect, you'll pretty much miss out on anything to get at least a short session in, especially if you live somewhere that rarely gets good. Christmas Day -- I would have been in the water for sure (at least part of the day if I was in town).
Interesting thoughts about less south swells now than previously. With a warming planet, the jet stream moves further away from the equator. In this year, La Nina has allowed that jet to drop further south than years prior, allowing pre-frontal south winds to fill the swell windows of the middle/north eastern US (hence reminiscent of better S swells in years past)... or at least thats my best guess haha.
It’s not that there’s been less south swells... we’ve been in a similar rotation of north and south swells in recent years as we were in older years. It’s that for many years the south swells wouldn’t get good... underperforming size and shape wise, where as years past they would all be of similar shape and quality. I believe it has a lot to do with Diamond Shoals... shallower they are, the more they break up the swell. Deeper they are... or more holy, the more swell can fill in
@@brettbarley Super interesting. Do you know how shallow those shoals get? South swells are typically shorter period. The waves may not even touch the bottoms there.
@@camerondavid8089 I'm well aware of bathymetry and swell energy depths... Those shoals stretch 10 miles due SE of Cape Hatteras, with a maximum depth of 30ft or so, while most places are less. So when a swell is due South or SSW, it has to travel over those shoals, and once upon a time, use to make it fine... then started getting blocked more (to my assumption, due to shallower shoals). But even an Easterly swell can be effected by those shoals as it comes in... because the swell lines hit there first and will start bending, while the main East swell to the north of the shoals continues it's straight line in. So things hit the beach at varying angles. It's pretty wild...
@@brettbarley That is pretty wild... turning an E swell into a weaker ENE-ish swell. You say the shoals go out due SE from the cape... hinting that the near shore current brought the sand from the North. I wonder if the increase in dredging projects in New England and southward could be depositing these looser sediments or if it's more of a local OBX imact.... or erosion increasing in general...
The shoals are shaped due to the Labrador current and Gulfstream colliding offshore. Thats why Hatteras is shaped the way it is, and that’s why the entire East coast is shaped the way it is. Has nothing to do with dredging or recent erosion
B.B.: "The only day I won't surf is 12/25" Mother nature: "Are you sure?" 🤔 B.B. "well....maybe just one hour" 😂Hahaha. Respect for saving the day for your family and J.C... and like Gerry lopez says "never surf like there's no tomorrow"
@@brettbarley you mentioned that it rarely gets that good. I understand, you're priorities are geared more toward family matters on Christmas. I'm just saying that family tradition has to start somewhere, bud. Lol
No... we often get good waves. Just had been rare in recent years for a south swell to get that good. But it’s not like I rarely get barreled. Family tradition is spending time together celebrating Christ on Christmas... that’s way radder than leaving the family all day to go surf, Like I do the rest of the year when there’s waves. Also the idea that my wife, kids, & in laws would want to go sit in the freezing cold 25mh sand blasting wind on Christmas Day is silly haha. Asking them to would just be selfish and inconsiderate.
@@brettbarley I wasn't saying anything negative. Wasn't trying to change your routine. Was more just an exclamation of stoke, for how firing it was that day. Looked super fun! I've been landlocked in Northeast Washington for almost 2 years. I get a little excited. I love backside barrels, and the rights are just rifling
Also I can’t find it now, but saw you commented about water quality... there’s no sewers here at all, and no runoff since it’s such small villages and very little concrete. Our water is as clean as it gets year round. The water color you see is from the sand sediment... we could be in a 2 month drought, and when a swell kicks up, or even hard winds, the water still turns brown. You can watch it go from blue to brown in a day when swell/winds ramp up. All just about the sediment... it goes right back to being clear and pretty when swell/winds die down.
@@brettbarley ..moving on...been here since 79...every island ive lived on...you think Jaws is great...theres 3 more breaks you need too discover. ive never seen them break as good as jaws...but there are still un discovered... 1 on maui 1 on kauai and i more at ? and that drought...is called geoengineering. aloha. i lived easy coast many times...thats old water...ugh...alooooha
Hey Brett. I saw your reply to the comment from Fickle Media. I’m a Christian myself and I have a couple of questions for you. As you are a practicing Christian perhaps it would have been better to use that time in the afternoon another way. Perhaps you might have collected the leftovers from your lunch and found some homeless people to give them too. Just a thought. Also. Do you take your family to church every Sunday morning regardless of what the swell is doing? Finally. Ive been following your vlog for over a year now and I’ve never heard you say anything about your faith. Surely having such a massive audience would be an ideal platform for you spread the good word about your lord and saviour.
Hey Tyler, I appreciate the questions. Sorry for the late reply... but you asked some deep questions, and I wanted to respond when I would have the time to be able to fully answer. First off... we dont have a homeless population here. And those in tight financial, or physical, struggles do actually get supported with food when needed by an organization on the island called "Hatteras Island Meals". We also just had a simple breakfast with my dad, then were cooking dinner... so there were no hypothetical leftovers to go hand out even if there was a place to do so. I'm not sure your need to come up with a random scenario for me to spend my time differently than going surfing for an hour in between family time and cooking? I mean... by that logic, literally every scenario in life could be combatted with a "well why didn't you do this more awesome thing instead?". Is that a beneficial, productive, or encouraging mindset? Especially when speaking to someone you dont know.... (though I didn't) how would you know I didn't do such a thing the day before, or after, or that night even? Is Christmas a more important day to give and share Jesus' love with others than any other day? No... All of our days we are called to serve others, Love God, and live a life in reflection of him. Is your basis simply because I didn't talk about it online? Because we are actually called to do our acts of giving in private... Matthew 6:1-4 "Be careful not to do your "acts of righteousness" before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in Heaven. So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." I'veisn't Yes... pre-covid my family and I go to church most every Sunday. We live over an hour from the church we go to, so we dont get there every Sunday, and watch online if not. There isn't a non-denominational in our area that doesn't follow some sort of altered gospel, which is why we make the 1hr 20min drive up to one in town. The only time I'd skip is if it was the 1 day of good waves for the week, and needed to work... My schedule doesn't revolve around Mon-Fri like most people, which is hard, so I have to plain accordingly around the weather. To be clear though, simply going to church, for the sake of being there and saying you did, means nothing though if Jesus isn't reflected in your life. Plenty of people go to church every Sunday, not even missing 1, and don't actually have a relationship with Christ. They walk out those doors and live a life far opposite of one walked with Christ. As Jesus said in Mathew 7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord", will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophecy in your name, and in your name drive out demons, and perform many miracles?" Then I will tell them plainly, "I never knew you. Away from me evildoers!" The Lords will for our lives is to know him, be in communion with him, and thus a result of that is the desire to spend time with other believers in worship, and learning/growing together in the word. Having a sabbath is what's important... but it doesn't matter what day that falls on, and looks differently for some than others. If you've been following my channel for over a year and haven't heard me share about Jesus, then you have missed videos (that't totally fine... I post a lot). And I'd assume you dont follow me on instagram either, based off that statement. Last spring I went through a few episodes when lockdowns started, encouraging everyone with scripture and personal testimony as I felt lead. It was a time the Lord lead me to use my channel to do so, and it was awesome... I also released an entire video in June solely on loving your neighbor as yourself, based in scripture. I'm sorry you missed those videos... but feel free to go back and check em out. There's a couple listed below. S2: Ep. 25 Q&A S2: Ep. 28 Loving others as ourselves The thing is... I'm a professional surfer, and I run social media and TH-cam as part of my job now. I'm a Christian. I have the control over my channels to share the gospel, and get to whenever the Lord leads me. BUT... just as a plumber who is a Christian doesn't show up at your house preaching every time, neither do I spend every video sharing teachings of Jesus. I try to make my life a reflection of Christ in how I speak, live, and love others... Specifically because I am not a Teacher, and have not been lead into that role. There are also so many false teachers in the world, preaching one thing, and living a vastly different way, that I have seen FAR to many people shy off from Jesus because of them.... People hear the gospelt all the time, but what they need is to SEE it. Everyones walk with the Lord is going to look differently... As Paul spoke about in 1Corinithians 12:4-11 "There are different kinds of gifts, but the same spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different Kisers of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines." We should never judge someones life, or relationship with the Lord, based off what we see on the internet... What you see online is only a fraction of someones real life, and what happens in real life matters more than what happens on the internet. We are called to "love our neighbor as ourselves", and that quite literally means those whom are in our direct lives. We cannot possibly cater to the whole world online, and nor are we suppose to. Can we use the internet to share the gospel? yes! Are some called to do that wholeheartedly as their ministry? yes! But, not all are called the same... and we should never look at it as if they are. God's will for our lives is not a checklist of things we have to get done... People make it that way in a superficial, or surface level, attempt, but Jesus simply calls us to "Love the Lord your God with with all our heart and with all your mind and with all your soul. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the laws nd prophets hang on these two commandments." - Matthew 22: 37-40 Have a good one man. I hope that helps with understanding, and maybe with encouragement in the word for God's will in your own life as well. Thanks for reaching out and take care.
We are working on it. The response to the launch was overwhelming and the shirt place has been shut down for 10 days now. Gonna get a restock order in Monday :)
Can’t afford good punk rock... I spend a lot of time looking for the best music to suite the mood of whatever is going on in my videos. Unfortunately there’s really NO half decent punk rock on the sites I buy music from. There’s some average rock songs now and then, but not good. For whatever reason there’s just way more decent electronic to pick and choose from. If I had some huge budget, then Ya I’d use some good punk rock.
Hahaha going deep on us. - honestly NONE of the artists on the sites I have subscriptions too would actually classify as “punk” to me. And based off their sound alone, they are a far cry from ever being in the ballpark of “good” at even whatever genre they are suppose to be. Which is why I just end up using electronic music. -I mean what I consider punk rock (as in the bands I grew up on in that genre) may not even be true punk rock... but that’s beyond me. I just base it off sound for the most part, not integrity as much. So I’m wrong person to ask.
Sorry Brett. Ive gotta tell you my respect level has dropped. Choosing that commercial nonsense over surfing will only encourage your kids to do the same. You should have surfed all day. Your fam would have respected you more for that even if they didn’t like it.
Only if he was making it all about the gifts, just spending time with your family eating having conversation is what it's about sounds like you need some hugs Jesus loves you everybody else thinks you are kinda dickish
Choosing commercial nonsense over surfing??? What are you talking about? Christmas isn’t about gifts and things... it’s about Jesus Christ. Our savior coming to earth to save us from our own wrongdoings and sins. Surfing all day instead of spending time with my family celebrating Christ would literally be the epitome of self-centered selfishness.

You know why you need the charcoal, right Brett - there's 2 reasons actually.
1) increase the temperature - it burns hotter since there's no water in it.
2) provide carbon monoxide for the reaction to occur to free the iron (from the oxide)
You're not gonna smelt your iron without your charcoal, so I hope you know how to make that.
Brett, when we head to sociaiism, and there's a lot more people with a lot more leisure time, you're gonna wish we had these inventions...
I've got some doozies - many.
I like your vids because you're just direct and genuine man. Love that it's no-drama, no-ego, and pure surf stoke. Keep crushing it dude.
Just being me... Never want to pretend to be something I’m not, or pretend somethings better than it is. Just wanna share the stoke, and the joy we can get from simple things. Appreciate the kind words.

who needs crowded pipe when you can surf those waves with a few of the boys🔥🔥🔥
100% 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
I wish I had worked up the nerve to paddle out with y’all that morning. I could hear y’all laughing from the beach. I went out in the afternoon and the next day. Had a blast and FINALLY surfed the lighthouse. Some of the most fun I’ve had in the water.
You tell stories like no other surf channel. It just keeps getting better and better.
Thank you! Means a lot.
I have to say your merch is really comfortable
Stoked you like it!
I have lived and surfed on the obx my whole, I cant surf anything bigger than 4 to 6 ft, I cant even make it too the line up it's scary, seriously, your a legend!
Great christmas gift, great video...short time on the water is better than no time , rock on. Have been 2019 the first time to OBX and loved this place.
Hope to come back one day. Greetings from Germany.
Looked fantastic good job sticking to the family and only busting out for an hour when it was that good thanks for the content though
Glad you got some gorgeous fun waves and then to top it off a delicious perfect roast for family dinner ! beautiful surfing beautiful Christmas !!! Love it !!
so, so sick!! Cody Craig killed it!! HNY, BB!!
Kinda crazy you don't have more subs, your videos are always epic. Thanks for all the entertainment, please keep it up 🤙
appreciate the kind words! I wont stop unless I have a drastic career change... so the clips will just keep coming! got one dropping in an hour! thanks for all the support :)
Brutal. Perfect back music.
Watching at work... couldn't ask for a better way to ring in the new year... getting paid while watching the best video on you tube!! Happy New Year to you and your family!!
It's cool you put your boys in all the vids
Yeah, the sessions aren’t all about me, and wouldn’t be as fun without all my friends.
i like how you share so much thank you :)
Top 3 reasons to watch LOTW;
1 - the OBX
2 - how to make a cup of coffee
3 - the soundtrack
Haha love it!
I agree with everything he said minus the tunes lol. Throw in a little punk rock every now and then haha.
Can’t... I can’t afford good punk rock and the sites I pay for music, their “punk rock” is sooooo bad it’s not even funny.
That was super sick got a couple of waves then out you the man . The boys were ripping too get some thanks again have a good safe new year. Peace out.
Your the reason why I surf every day and hunt good waves
Frosty fun
Those cones look epic. Kinda chilly but epic
Thank you! & Happy New Year! >> looking forward to your vids in 2021 >>> you're a good guy and family man >>>

Also I can’t find it now, but saw you commented about water quality... there’s no sewers here at all, and no runoff since it’s such small villages and very little concrete. Our water is as clean as it gets year round.
The water color you see is from the sand sediment... we could be in a 2 month drought, and when a swell kicks up, or even hard winds, the water still turns brown. You can watch it go from blue to brown in a day when swell/winds ramp up. All just about the sediment... it goes right back to being clear and pretty when swell/winds die down.
@@brettbarley ..moving on...been here since 79...every island ive lived on...you think Jaws is great...theres 3 more breaks you need too discover. ive never seen them break as good as jaws...but there are still un discovered... 1 on maui 1 on kauai and i more at ? and that drought...is called geoengineering. aloha. i lived easy coast many times...thats old water...ugh...alooooha
Hey Brett. I saw your reply to the comment from Fickle Media. I’m a Christian myself and I have a couple of questions for you. As you are a practicing Christian perhaps it would have been better to use that time in the afternoon another way. Perhaps you might have collected the leftovers from your lunch and found some homeless people to give them too. Just a thought.
Also. Do you take your family to church every Sunday morning regardless of what the swell is doing?
Finally. Ive been following your vlog for over a year now and I’ve never heard you say anything about your faith. Surely having such a massive audience would be an ideal platform for you spread the good word about your lord and saviour.
Hey Tyler, I appreciate the questions. Sorry for the late reply... but you asked some deep questions, and I wanted to respond when I would have the time to be able to fully answer.
First off... we dont have a homeless population here. And those in tight financial, or physical, struggles do actually get supported with food when needed by an organization on the island called "Hatteras Island Meals". We also just had a simple breakfast with my dad, then were cooking dinner... so there were no hypothetical leftovers to go hand out even if there was a place to do so. I'm not sure your need to come up with a random scenario for me to spend my time differently than going surfing for an hour in between family time and cooking? I mean... by that logic, literally every scenario in life could be combatted with a "well why didn't you do this more awesome thing instead?". Is that a beneficial, productive, or encouraging mindset? Especially when speaking to someone you dont know.... (though I didn't) how would you know I didn't do such a thing the day before, or after, or that night even? Is Christmas a more important day to give and share Jesus' love with others than any other day? No... All of our days we are called to serve others, Love God, and live a life in reflection of him.
Is your basis simply because I didn't talk about it online? Because we are actually called to do our acts of giving in private... Matthew 6:1-4 "Be careful not to do your "acts of righteousness" before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in Heaven. So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
I'veisn't
Yes... pre-covid my family and I go to church most every Sunday. We live over an hour from the church we go to, so we dont get there every Sunday, and watch online if not. There isn't a non-denominational in our area that doesn't follow some sort of altered gospel, which is why we make the 1hr 20min drive up to one in town. The only time I'd skip is if it was the 1 day of good waves for the week, and needed to work... My schedule doesn't revolve around Mon-Fri like most people, which is hard, so I have to plain accordingly around the weather. To be clear though, simply going to church, for the sake of being there and saying you did, means nothing though if Jesus isn't reflected in your life. Plenty of people go to church every Sunday, not even missing 1, and don't actually have a relationship with Christ. They walk out those doors and live a life far opposite of one walked with Christ. As Jesus said in Mathew 7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord", will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophecy in your name, and in your name drive out demons, and perform many miracles?" Then I will tell them plainly, "I never knew you. Away from me evildoers!"
The Lords will for our lives is to know him, be in communion with him, and thus a result of that is the desire to spend time with other believers in worship, and learning/growing together in the word. Having a sabbath is what's important... but it doesn't matter what day that falls on, and looks differently for some than others.
If you've been following my channel for over a year and haven't heard me share about Jesus, then you have missed videos (that't totally fine... I post a lot). And I'd assume you dont follow me on instagram either, based off that statement. Last spring I went through a few episodes when lockdowns started, encouraging everyone with scripture and personal testimony as I felt lead. It was a time the Lord lead me to use my channel to do so, and it was awesome... I also released an entire video in June solely on loving your neighbor as yourself, based in scripture. I'm sorry you missed those videos... but feel free to go back and check em out. There's a couple listed below.

Q&A
S2: Ep. 28
Loving others as ourselves
The thing is...
I'm a professional surfer, and I run social media and TH-cam as part of my job now.
I'm a Christian.
I have the control over my channels to share the gospel, and get to whenever the Lord leads me. BUT... just as a plumber who is a Christian doesn't show up at your house preaching every time, neither do I spend every video sharing teachings of Jesus. I try to make my life a reflection of Christ in how I speak, live, and love others... Specifically because I am not a Teacher, and have not been lead into that role. There are also so many false teachers in the world, preaching one thing, and living a vastly different way, that I have seen FAR to many people shy off from Jesus because of them.... People hear the gospelt all the time, but what they need is to SEE it.
Everyones walk with the Lord is going to look differently... As Paul spoke about in 1Corinithians 12:4-11 "There are different kinds of gifts, but the same spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different Kisers of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines."
We should never judge someones life, or relationship with the Lord, based off what we see on the internet... What you see online is only a fraction of someones real life, and what happens in real life matters more than what happens on the internet. We are called to "love our neighbor as ourselves", and that quite literally means those whom are in our direct lives. We cannot possibly cater to the whole world online, and nor are we suppose to.
Can we use the internet to share the gospel? yes!
Are some called to do that wholeheartedly as their ministry? yes!
But, not all are called the same... and we should never look at it as if they are.
God's will for our lives is not a checklist of things we have to get done... People make it that way in a superficial, or surface level, attempt, but Jesus simply calls us to "Love the Lord your God with with all our heart and with all your mind and with all your soul. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the laws nd prophets hang on these two commandments." - Matthew 22: 37-40
Have a good one man. I hope that helps with understanding, and maybe with encouragement in the word for God's will in your own life as well. Thanks for reaching out and take care.
i would have stayed out. if my family cared they would give me that freetime as my xmas present
Spend time with your family bro, the ocean will always have waves 👋
Always gonna be more waves... life’s more important than surfing. But surfing is still fun
Totally Tubular
👍🇧🇷🏄
Please get in more Large T-Shirts
We are working on it. The response to the launch was overwhelming and the shirt place has been shut down for 10 days now. Gonna get a restock order in Monday :)
Brett- Zuma Beach in So Cal was firing on Xmas. I can send photo of my kid burying it.
Your videos are sick dude, but your music choice is tragic 😂
He grew up on punk rock too. You'd think every now and then he'd throw some of that in. I can't stand the music in surf videos today
Can’t afford good punk rock... I spend a lot of time looking for the best music to suite the mood of whatever is going on in my videos. Unfortunately there’s really NO half decent punk rock on the sites I buy music from. There’s some average rock songs now and then, but not good. For whatever reason there’s just way more decent electronic to pick and choose from.
If I had some huge budget, then Ya I’d use some good punk rock.
Hahaha going deep on us.
- honestly NONE of the artists on the sites I have subscriptions too would actually classify as “punk” to me. And based off their sound alone, they are a far cry from ever being in the ballpark of “good” at even whatever genre they are suppose to be. Which is why I just end up using electronic music.
-I mean what I consider punk rock (as in the bands I grew up on in that genre) may not even be true punk rock... but that’s beyond me. I just base it off sound for the most part, not integrity as much. So I’m wrong person to ask.
Sorry Brett. Ive gotta tell you my respect level has dropped. Choosing that commercial nonsense over surfing will only encourage your kids to do the same. You should have surfed all day. Your fam would have respected you more for that even if they didn’t like it.
Only if he was making it all about the gifts, just spending time with your family eating having conversation is what it's about sounds like you need some hugs Jesus loves you everybody else thinks you are kinda dickish
Sorry fickle. I've gotta tell ya your respect probably doesn't mean a lot to him. 👌👈ya
No one said he was spending it spoiling his kids. Spending time with family is mad important.
Choosing commercial nonsense over surfing??? What are you talking about? Christmas isn’t about gifts and things... it’s about Jesus Christ. Our savior coming to earth to save us from our own wrongdoings and sins.
Surfing all day instead of spending time with my family celebrating Christ would literally be the epitome of self-centered selfishness.
