Great weather this week has got me all fired up for summer! And as we help flatten the curve, I've got another episode of Boardz N The Hood to get you amped for the boardshort and barrel season. Today I bring you Eric Fagan and his son Wyatt. Eric is all about getting outside. An avid surfer the past 38 years who's traveled the around the world for surf, Eric has also found time to climb our National Parks when the waves are flat. And if enjoying the great outdoors wasn't enough in his free time, he's also found a way to do it while working. Eric has worked at Prana, Rinse Kit, Igloo, Rvca, and I'm guessing he was a Park Ranger and a Lifeguard too. Who knows. What I do know is that his son Wyatt is a chip off the old block. Loves the outdoors, has a quiver of his own surfboards at a young age, and when it comes to climbing- he's learning from the best. They're just as anxious as us to start exploring beyond our neighborhood again, so without further hesitation, here's today's Boardz N The Hood, brought to you by Eric and Wyatt Fagan.

Thanks to Eric and Wyatt (and the rest of my neighbors) for being part of Boardz N The Hood. If you're looking for some positive news, water temps were in the high 60's today at our beaches, there's some tropical activity off Baja, and we're probably closer to the end of this beach ban than we are to the beginning of it. So hang in there! You'll be out there ripping in trunks in no time. Make sure to check back every few days for more Boardz N The Hood!
