11 years in California to 7 years on the North Hawaii, and now back in California to study the art and culture of surfing.
I live praying everyday to be in the ocean, to find enlightenment.
I have dedicated my life to the art of surfing, working as a pro sufer, photographer, artist, writer and designer.
I continuously have a fresh desire and curiosity for not only waves but also the ocean itself, fulfilling my childhood dream of traveling the world to see what the ocean has to offer. I continue to create many things from the inspiration I have received through my journey.
Understanding the waves is understanding the Ocean.
I sit here writing this blog everyday to deliver the various forms of happiness found in the ocean, and to display the ever-expanding inspiration that the ocean has to offer.
A Chinese poem I found to inspire:
月落波啼海満天
加州黄昏対愁眠
聖地夢内安板家
夜半雷聲到我心
It means,
The moon sets, sounds of waves can be found within the sounds of the ocean
California sleeps in the twilight of sorrows
In this moment a lightning strikes
In my home of San Clemente
With the feeling of this poem in my heart, with feelings of both old and new, I deliver you this blog from San Clemente, California.
I have written this blog without a day of rest. May 1st of this year will be the 7th anniversary of this blog.
The words written are countless.
Word count shows that over 600,000 words have been written into this blog.
It’s a lot of words but I hope you can find the time to read this blog and its archives.
I will continue to deliver the depth of the art of surfing with all my heart using my words and photos as the tools of communication.
I also operate NAKISURF.com, my online surf shop out of San Clemente California.
With the people I have met through out the years, through the connections I have developed over the years, I plan on offering the best surfboards and products, so we can continue to aspire to be one of the greatest online surf shops of the world.
Please come check us out.
