Swamis Surfing Association

To my incredible family at Swami's,

​As the calendar turns toward Thanksgiving, it’s the perfect time to pause and reflect on the things that truly enrich our lives. For me, the top of that list is the community we’ve built right here, by the cliffs and on the waves of Swami’s.

​I want to extend my deepest, most sincere thanks to each and every one of you, the members of this amazing club. When I look out at the lineup, I don't just see surfers; I see friends, mentors, and the most supportive crew imaginable.

​It’s easy to focus on the perfect swell or the glassy morning, but the true magic happens when we’re sitting out there together. Sharing a laugh while waiting for a set, offering a tip on a new board, or simply shouting words of encouragement when someone is charging a big one. Those moments of camaraderie, connection, and mutual respect are the best gifts the ocean, and this club can give.

​Thank you for being the consistent, positive energy that makes every paddle-out feel like coming home. Whether you were the person who told me to grab the next wave, the one who kept the stoke high on a flat day, or the one who always has a funny story in the parking lot, your presence makes this club irreplaceable.

​May your holiday be filled with perfect waves (even if only in your dreams!), great food, and quality time with your loved ones. I am profoundly grateful to be part of the Swami’s legacy alongside all of you.

​See you in the water, and Happy Thanksgiving!

​Warmly,

Shea Roney
President Swamis Surfing Association

Speaking at tonight's monthly members meeting...this should be a good one!

Throwback to 1992...Swamis Club awarded club members, Gayle and Greg Filtzer, the "Survivors of the Year" award after they moved from California to Kauai and survived Hurricane Iniki. Gayle said she now lives in Mission Viejo but is proud to say that she still has her plaque. Thanks for sharing Gayle!

Rain or Shine come on down and grab some eggs! Golden eggs too? YES! See you soon- Peter Rabbit

How do the 3500 eggs in the Swamis Egg Hunt get filled? The Easter Bunny had help from club members at the meeting tonight. Fun times!

TGIF! Hope everyone survived the crazy amount of rain last weekend and earlier this week. Post-1000yr storm surf and conditions lately can't be beat! Looking forward to some sunshine this weekend. Have a great weekend everyone.
