Baby waves in Chiba, Japan
Baby waves in Chiba, Japan

hello there

Six years into surfing and I've got more salty scribblings and spreadsheets than style. So instead of going pro, I built this project to make something tangible out of all the bliss and busted waves. Inside you'll find meandering diary entries, obsessively tracked stats, and a map plotting where my love affair with mama ocean has taken me.

August Brain Snack

"I always find the surf lineup a good vantage point from which to objectively review my situation and options. The enlightening perspective out there is partly a result of the inviolate solitude (interlopers are obvious on approach), and partly the effects of an aqueous environment womblike in its security, its easy, pacifying motion, its gently calmative murmur; circumstances that I believe put you in closer touch with the wisdom of the subconscious. And so it is with sadness, depression, angst, call a lowness of spirit what you will. When I hit the water with a surfstick, a lift is in the offing, along with a clarification of my thought processes."

Allan Weisbecker in In Search of Captain Zero (2002)
