No more flat spells, no more waiting. Boca Surf Park could bring world-class waves to South Florida — and yes there’s actually a chance it could happen this time.

We caught up with Cheyne Cottrell, owner of Island Water Sports and the main man leading the charge, to get the inside scoop on the project and what it could mean for the community. The proposal is currently under review, with the next big Beach & Parks meetings set for TODAY, Sept 15 and Oct 6. Community support will play a huge role in what happens next.

Oliver Kurtz traded California swells for Florida’s ankle-biters and, somehow, he’s still smiling. From flat days to the local food scene, we caught up with him to talk life, waves, and, yes, his golf game. Full interview at the link below.

Kyle Soto Photography's love of the ocean and its inhabitants started at a young age, but was tested after being diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma when he was 15 years old. After emerging triumphant in his cancer battle, Kyle found a love for photography as a way to preserve the magic he witnessed.

“I realized that there are tons of people in the world that are stuck in a hospital bed or unable to see the underwater world for themselves, as I was in that position. It drove me to grab a camera, take photos and share them with others so they could experience the magic of the ocean,” said Kyle.

For a multitude of reasons, the sober community is very strong in South Florida. Aside from traditional means, many turn to the gym as a healthy way forward. But as we know, gyms can be crazy expensive — and that's where Temperance Training comes in. ⁠

Operating out of Crossfit HYPE in Boca Raton, Anthony Fazio and his team of coaches offer free classes to anyone with over 24 hours of sobriety. But he will be the first to tell you, everyone is welcome. ⁠

Oceano Kitchen definitely falls into the "where do we start" category. The culinary accolades of husband and wife team Jeremy and Cindy Bearman are impressive to say the least, but what they have created here is hard to pin down on a resume. ⁠
⁠
Located off East Ocean Ave in Lantana sits their 1,000-square-foot space with a recognizable yellow awning. With primarily casual outdoor seating, the approachable restaurant makes you feel at ease on arrival. But what they offer on the menu, created daily we might add, is anything but ordinary. ⁠
⁠
We could keep blabbing about Pastry Chef Cindy Bearman's art-like desserts, or maybe how Chef Jeremy Bearman pealed each fava bean by hand for one of the dishes we featured — but it's probably best you grab the latest issue or give it a read on the web.

Spots like Hurricane Alley are hard to come by these days. The approachable restaurant tucked off of Ocean Ave in Boynton is a local favorite, and oozes some serious "if these walls could talk" vibes. Owner Kim Kelly set out to create "a place where you can go at the end of the day, release your worries, have a great meal and still be able to afford to pay your bills when you leave.” She succeeded there, but created a whole lot more in the process. Read more about this Boynton Beach staple on the homepage, link below.
