MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Ben's cousin @brendanbordato has spent the last 177 days on the #PacificCrestTrail, having traveled the entire 2,650 miles from Mexico to Canada by foot, in honor of Ben. What an incredible achievement! Once again an amazing story of how Ben has inspired us all! Yeah Bren! #YEW // #bendidgo #brendidgo #thruhikeforben #raiseupforben 🙌🙏 🇲🇽 🇺🇸 🇨🇦
We're proud to be a part of the Harbor Cleanup happening today through the @balboayachtclub. Looking forward to jumping in a dinghy and lending a hand to serve the community that we love. Afterwards join us at the BYC flag deck for a BBQ and prizes for the most trash collected! // If you would like to join please email bycharborcleanup@icloud.com or meet at the BYC to register. // #HarborCleanup #bendidgo
Following the earthquake that struck southern Mexico this last wknd, BCMSF board member @skeetzleeps @strangeleeper along with fellow @newportbeachlifeguards @peterbelden @_jackrobison_ and @eelijah_speier_ are in route to Puerto Escondido today to lend a hand where needed. They had previously planned this as a surf trip but are now also hoping to assist the locals in need along the way. If you might be able to help and support this effort please click the link in our bio to make a donation towards the purchase of basics needs! Also be sure to follow the @the_board_club as they will be posting pics and updates along the way. // Seen here - Ben surfing some of his favorite waves there in Puerto Escondido, 2012. // Thanks for your support! #bendidgo
