I never set out to become anything in particular, only to live creatively and push the scope of my experience for adventure and for passion. Solid ocean swells powering through deep cold water, ignite the imagination, whisper possibilities, you always learn something. We all take knocks in the process, cold creeping into your core, driving you mad while you hold position and wait for the next wave to come. For fires of happiness and waves of gratitude. I feel genuinely lucky and hand on heart say I love doing what I do. And I may never be a rich man but I'll have a tale or two for the nephews. And I dig the thought of that.
