Sail Loot Podcast 037: Salty Times Sailing to find the Surf with Base and Jamie

By on April 29, 2016

Base and Jamie have traveled around the world searching for the perfect surf breaks. Base helped set up a surf school in Costa Rica. Jamie moved from Canada to Australia in search of warmer waters.

They met each other in Fremantle, AU and decided that the most environmentally friendly and sustainable way to find the surfing breaks of their dreams was to go sailing. Base used the old, “Do you want to go sailing?” line for their first date and they’ve finally been able to put together the sailing money to purchase Charade and sail her to Indonesia in search of the most epic surfing breaks.

Base was working as a hydrogeologist. Jamie was working as a sustainability consultant while learning how to put together websites and start internet businesses. In the meantime they both received the necessary certifications to re-start the Southern Cross Sailing charter business on Charade and make some of their sailing money by…wait for it…sailing!
