About our co-host:
Allison Tapert a main brain behind Kulapalooza

Allison Tapert, a versatile outdoorist demonstrating her hockey stick that she hiked in and is getting ready to use when skating on this frozen mountain tarn

Allison Tapert is a writer, graphic designer and event planner that began exploring swamps, creeks and other muddy places when she was just four years old.  Now Allison is a hiker, backpacker, kayaker, outdoor swimmer, surfer, and frozen tarn skater.  When she’s not staring at a computer screen, or planning the next great adventure, you can find her hiking to alpine lakes and jumping in for no good reason. 

Allison was an event planner in the aerospace industry but at the age of 50, she decided to obsessively encourage others to find their joy through adventures outside. She said bye to aerospace and bravely co-founded Kulapalooza, a 3-day adventure retreat for women. Stay tuned for her newest creation, Spoken Wild, an art and outdoor event that is sure to be super fun. 
​

Allison has served as a park commissioner in Island County where she lives with her husband, Geoff, and two dogs.  She says she has two amazing adult children that inspire her everyday.

Surfing in SoCal

Matthew is life long adventurer and surfer. He said "Jerry Lopez was right... The first 20 years of surfing were just to figure out if you are really in to it :-)." ​

​​Surfing Tips from Matt

• Southern California is a great place to learn to surf but it can get really heavy.
• If you are a beginner, take lessons! "Don't be a dummy like me and surf the HB pier alone at night!" Matt warns. 
  
• There is great surfing in Washington and Oregon too! Go see Al Perlee at the Westport Surf Shop in Westport, WA or Cleanline Surf in Cannon Beach, OR
