Lisa, we love you ☀️
TUESDAY | 6.23.26
Lisa, hold onto your keyboard. The plane has landed. We sent The Photo Issue your way. Once printed, could you kindly have this beaut sent to the 24,000-or-so people who will be waiting by their mailboxes for a copy? Heads up, there will be four different covers. Fancy on a Tuesday. If you could please send Mallory the one with the rainbow on the cover. This is also the largest edition of Flow Trip Magazine at 172 pages, filled with the Winners, Finalists, and Honorable Mentions of The 2026 Flow Photo Contest. Big guy coming through. This is all being done in partnership with Kodak, so if you could make us look real good and not print the covers upside down, that would go far. 24,000 copies. No pressure. We love you long time. Thank you, Lisa and the wonderfully patient team at the printer. Now some other good news to share that pairs nicely with a chilled glass of Photo Issue.

Meet Your Neighbor
Flow neighbor, Morgane Herculano, is a Red Bull Cliff Diving Champion. That’s more impressive than us getting Lisa the magazine to print on time. Read about her journey to Flow and why living in a community with a mindset of growth helps her jump off very high things. Meet Morgane.
Make You Banana Pancakes
Get Curious George on the phone. Jack Johnson is on tour — the SURFILMUSIC Tour 2026 — and it comes with a documentary on how his years making surf films with close friends became the foundation of a creative life. Less fancy, more fun. For those of you in Florida, he’ll be in West Palm Beach August 18th as part of the Clean Earth Concert Series. Our interview with Jack here and tickets right here.
The Cookie That Changed Everything
Turns out that 89% of divorces are because an argument about “what is the world’s best chocolate chip cookie” is not a real stat. Or maybe it is. To help love win, after years of testing, we can confidently say it can be found in Nosara, Costa Rica at Las Delicias Café near the check out counter in a glass jar, fresh-baked. The right amount of sea salt included. Book a plane ticket. Save love.
Flip Grim Reaper The Bird
The kākāpō is a flightless, nocturnal parrot the size of a small cat, endemic to New Zealand, and one of the strangest creatures on Earth. With an adult population of just 235 individuals, it comes close to extinction every few days we imagine. Over 100 chicks hatched this season because of a certain tree. Circle of life, Simba. Follow along here.
