I’M BACK

I surfed 5 days last week, and I’m fucking ecstatic about it. I’m on track for another 5 days this week. I haven’t been this stoked on surfing since I quit the baseball team to join the surf class during my sophomore year.  I recently had a bit of a hiatus from surfing. A 113 […]

What’s the Difference Between Me and You?

I got to go snowboarding last week. I wouldn’t call this a rare occasion, but it only happens about once a year if I am lucky. I really cherish these trips to the mountain though; I mean I seriously enjoy every minute of it. Snowboarding, in my opinion, has a lot of parallels to surfing. […]

Help

         An interesting situation arose while I was having great surf about two months ago that I would like to share with you. I thought about writing a post in dedication to this state of affairs immediately after, but I decided to let the emotions settle. I was hot.          The waves were extremely fun, […]

Missing Out

         I hate the acronym FOMO. I typically tend to hate any trend I catch whiff of. I’ve thought about this long and hard, and I really can’t determine the source of my discontent. My immediate reasoning is to say that I despise when people don’t think for themselves. Quickly thereafter, I may find myself […]

Apologies

To the 5 or 6 people that have visited this site more than once, I owe you an apology. If you have read the blog posts, you might have noticed in the “Why Do You Surf” piece that I was working on a small little investigation, a trial of sorts, to try to find some […]

3 Day Lot Rule

I was recently exposed to a bitter suggestion from a local around my parts that I would like to share with you. Actually, it was at least a year ago, possibly longer, and at the time I definitely just laughed off the proposition. He’s quite the talker – almost any time I run into him […]

Why Do You Surf?

“Try to explain color to a blind person, & try to explain surfing to someone who’s never surfed.” Dave Rastovich This question seems straightforward enough – what makes you paddle out in the morning? I see a lot of people in the water that I really want to ask this question to.  I feel like […]
