...annual trek from his home in Morro Bay, Calif., to Baja, Mexico, its enormous bed filled with surfboards, wax, wet suit and sunscreen. He is as stoked as any surfer dude in his mid-20s, which by some accounting is what he is. Sears grew up in Hermosa Beach, Calif., and surfed as much as he possibly could during his teenage years. At 15, as soon as he got his driver's license, he began sweeping floors at Hobie SurfBoards, eventually working up to glassing and polishing the boards, and then he insisted on staying at the beach...
