Music Monday: Surfing with Switchfoot

Is it Music Monday already?!? Why yes, yes it is! And I (Zoei) am quite excited because today I am featuring a band that allows me to not only blog about music but also surfing. For those of you who don't know I absolutely love everything about surfing. I follow the world tour religiously, and update my fantasy surfing team more often then I update my facebook status. So any guesses on who the lucky music monday artist is this week?? If you guessed Switchfoot, you guessed right!

Now I know Switchfoot is very different than any other music I have blogged about, and I'm sure once Remi reads this she's going to think I am crazy for choosing such a mainstream band that I haven't really listened to much, and I don't know if its because their music reminds me of surfing or what it is, but I do enjoy a lot of their songs. And come on their name is Switchfoot, which is awesome to begin with! (Its when you switch your stance while surfing if you didn't know)

So it is a little harder for me to write much about Switchfoot, mainly because I have just recently gotten into their music, and they have so much and I just haven't been able to listen through all of it, but I'm sure once I do I will have a whole list of songs I can blog about. But until then I have found a couple videos of the Hurley Pro, which just ended last week that have their songs as a lovely background. I didn't sleep much or get much of anything done last week, because I was watching this comp religiously all week- and I loved every minute of it. Again that might be the reason I have recently fallen in love with Switchfoot, but either way, I have found a new music love so it doesn't really matter! Watch the videos, let me know what you think (of the surfing and of the music) and also if you are already a Switchfoot lover, let me know which songs to look up, like I said they are a recent fav so I don't know much of their older stuff!. Enjoy and have a great week! Don't forget, if you have a band or artist you think I should feature next monday comment us away!

 Here is GREAT video with a great song! I was going to post the video on here, but sadly I couldn't get the video to work so I just posted the link- so please check it out if you have a minute or two! I seriously must have watched this heat easily 10 times-- it was a great heat and this video shows a ton of the great highlights of the heat! Also if you watch the whole thing Julian Wilson does a switch-footed spin after the last cutback on the 9 point wave- I thought it was fitting!

This is another great video with a great song as well! It is of 2 of my favorite surfers surfing the semifinals with a great Switchfoot song playing. Its a great video that highlights the heat and also its a great song to go with it.
