More aquatic spelunking fun from the March Madness swell run. Huge thanks to @puntaconejoresort and Lalo for the epic guiding + footage. Edit @annie.graziano #MinesofMoria
Celebrating the life of Greg Browning every day—but especially yesterday, on the one-year anniversary of his passing. For those of us who have always admired his surfing, these photos capture just a glimpse of the incredible legacy he left behind.
I first met Greg during his pro career, and he’s remained my favorite surfer ever since. Beyond that, he was truly one of a kind—the coolest, kindest, funniest, and most courageous person I’ve ever known :)
We love you, we miss you, and we carry you with us every day. Thank you for everything, Greg. From the tummy… #TheGregTurn
Stoked to chase the southern season opener. Watching a building swell shape the sand right in front of you is mesmerizing. Grateful to @puntaconejoresort and @buggscollection for making it all happen! 🎥: Lalo
Very excited to announce the 2026 AGray Experience with @puntaconejoresort in Salina Cruz, Mexico!
Dates:

A surfing betterment experience tailored towards stoked intermediate and advanced surfers. Limited availability. Inquiries please DM Alex or follow the link in bio.
As my life moves forward, the desire to help others through grief remains. My favorite thing to do with my brother Chris was surf. Decades now after his passing, surfing is still where I connect most with Chris’ life and death. I would like to share my grief journey experience, and offer guidance to those also with this unfortunate common bond. While the work is respectfully tough, I want it to be a reminder we are allowed to have fun while celebrating our loved one’s lives! I’ve teamed up with @riseupsurfretreats in Nicaragua to “surf grief” by providing a safe, enjoyable environment where we let the ocean heal us, and move through grief together. We have an amazing program on offer for men and women of all surf abilities. Please follow the link in bio for more information if this resonates and connects to you! #ChrisGrayLives
Week 2 of the AGE Experience w/ @puntaconejoresort was off the hook! Wow the ocean continued to be very kind to us(you can hear my baffling commentary of the first wave we saw to start the trip 🤣). We had returning shredders, first timers, and crushing it couples. Thank you so much to everyone who joined this year. The groups continue to tighten up with lots of stoke, and just great people. It’s such a blast facilitating fun and betterment in people’s surf lives. Life played a funny trick on me with an ankle sprain. But it allowed me to be solely attentive to everyone in the water, and sneak in a few belly barrels. Thank you once again to everyone who finds interest and excitement for these experiences. And thank you so much to our Punta Conejo surf guides/staff for keeping us fueled and comfortable to surf our brains out! Cheers! Andddd thank you very much @isaac_zoller for filming for our video reviews, the footage for each surfer to take home, and making sick edits like this of the trips. We have an epic team. @chasefacer@usoundlikeurfromauckland@maverickchm@deejayglass@amberitatravels@beers_a_trap
What an amazing first week of the AGray Experience 2025 w/ @puntaconejoresort . We had returning surfers, first timers, and father/son duos. Mother Nature was kind to us providing incredible offshore surf everyday. There was even a “best wave of my life” statement :) It’s an honor and pleasure enhancing surfers journey’s of all ages and abilities. Thank you guys so much for the incredible vibes and surf stoke. A group like this makes the dream come true when curating a surf trip. So thank you very much to everyone who joined this week. And thank you so much to the Punta Conejo Resort staff and surf guides!! 🎥 @isaac_zoller
Happy Birthday Greg Browning! Wanted to resurface this interview of Greg going through his life. There’s a link in my bio or on YouTube as TalkWave Greg Browning for you to enjoy. It was always a little hard to hide being his groupie as our friendship grew. Greg let me start from the beginning with home movies, to his Momentum Generation @taylorsteele sections, creating a company, the Drive Thru, being dad…… Hopped up on Mountain Dew shootin’ the shit with my favorite surfer ever. I know you’re getting very barreled today on your surf trip. We love and miss you so much Greg. Thank you. From the tummy. @ffejgninworb@parkerjbrowning@taylor_knox@benjiweatherley@donavon_frankenreiter
Chris it’s your 21st anniversary. Quite a shock to see that big number. I’m reminded it’s still hard to put today’s process into words. So here goes…. We continue to love and miss you very much Chris. There’s been beautiful parts throughout today having you focused on my mind. Searching your name in photo albums was the highlight. I think this is our last photo together. Although I’ve learned some stories and memories are mixed up. That doesn’t matter. Reality of the date comes in and out, numbing everything. It’s hard to think. Unique emotions and feelings attached solely on today come in waves. Staring off into the distance. Snapping back into the present not entertaining these triggers. We’ve practiced this. The looming dread of tonight. I don’t fear it anymore. This is not you. You are my big brother. Thank you. Since your departure, you have been very kind appearing often in dreams. Thank you. The roles unexpectedly reversed becoming your protector. Looking after your spirit and memory is my honor. I enjoy sharing and talking about you. I am proud to be your brother. You’ve been amazing manifesting yourself during life’s pinnacle moments. Many I believe you made possible. It had to be you. I know you heard me on those. Today sucks, let’s just be honest. You taught me how to be strong. Mostly thank you on those lessons (you kicked my ass). You let me hangout. Thank you. You taught me. Thank you. You supported me. Thank you. You loved me. Thank you. You did well. All I have for you is gratitude. You’ve made many efforts showing you’ve found peace. And that you’re okay. They’ve all been very helpful moving forward holding your happiness. And that smile. Tonight’s accident does not, and will not ever define you. So, come on, let’s go surf tomorrow. Or maybe a quick skate up the street. You’re still here. I’m a lucky little brother. Thank you.
Shaka selfie while @shanebeschen gets the pool pit @revelsurfparks . As a surfer, I never imagined I’d get to trade off barrels with only Shane freaking Beschen in the water. The little kid in me was tripping. It was so rad to share the energy and disbelief of the quality barrels we were riding in Arizona. I don’t think I stopped laughing or smiling for hours. I’ve always revered Shane as one of my favorite surfers to ever do it. And that style! To see him on this day now in his 50’s, but straight up still surfing like a teenager on a 27 liter 5’8” shortboard was so inspiring. I still want to be like you someday Shane. Thank you for an experience that I’ll treasure the rest of my life. You are the man!
I’ve yet to split the peak at a wave pool. A few days ago, I lucked into an invite from @shanebeschen to visit @revelsurfparks which is 20 minutes from Phoenix, Arizona. And why not throw a high five to @noahbeschen as we paddled into the peak of the slab?! It’s surprising how the right and left both offer equal opportunity. I’m guessing there’s other wave pools with peaks, but to share each wave with your friend was extra fun! They have plenty of other settings for turns, airs, etc But, I just wanted to keep doing the barrel over and over haha! It has a super addicting drop as your looking at a wedge twice the size. Shane and I were calling the left a Tahiti reef pass ;) Okay, maybe we were really fired up 🤷‍♂️🤣 Total dream day to experience the testing phase of what I believe will be a major player in the wavepool industry. Thank you guys so much for having me. Can I invite myself back asap?! 🥳
