What It's Really Like To Live On A Boat
by Zenon IsselWe spent two and a half years living aboard a 55ft Grand Banks (Adventure) Trawler; raising the kids, running the business, surfing, spearfishing, fishing, cruising, and living the life of a sea creature. It was a wild ride! Living simply and intentionally was the goal. This was our normal early morning surf session routine... if the waves were hitting this spot just right (which it really wasn't this morning, but we went anyway). -
The Making of a Pair of Pants
by Zenon IsselWhen we say we put love, time and attention into this design, we mean it! It was akin to growing a human from infant to toddler to teenager. We love these pants. We are proud of what these pants have become. We can't wait to see what they will do next!
Surf-fur is proud to offer these pants to all of our water-loving junkies Summer 2023!

White Seabass Tacos
by Zenon IsselIt's that time of year again for dreams of catching or spearing a white seabass consumes the minds of many fishermen, including my husband's. Whenever I notice his attentions drifting away from our conversation and out to the direction of the Pacific Ocean, I know exactly what he is thinking about; White Seabass! So, the WSB season starts with me trying to find new and delicious ways of cooking this elusive fish. It also works with any mild white fish. Give it a go, it's our new favorite!- change robe
