Every winter my skin would feel dry and itchy, also I noticed my t shirts had yellowish stains around the arm pits. In my travels to Europe on the public trains I smelled an obvious difference in body odor. I daily used shampoo, soap, deodorant, cologne, because I was afraid I would smell bad and be unattractive to women. I was also afraid I would be considered dirty and shunned if I didn't use these harsh cleansers. I had heard plenty of talk growing up about how those people are gross. The dry winter skin become so uncomfortable I was willing to consider alternatives. This page is about my experience with putting products on my hair and skin and what I do now.

I think of meditation as a ladder or vehicle that takes me to a wonderful blissful enjoyable place. On this page I talk about what meditation is, how I meditate, and why and when. Meditation is also a foundation tool or place to build from. Communication and relationships are easier.
Here is a previous post I wrote about Meditation. There are 6 videos in this tutorial.

I went from wearing raised heel thick boots to walking and running barefoot. On this page I explain what I did and why. I had been wearing padded high top sneakers and boots for decades, when I tried to walk in minimalist shoes I was in pain and couldn't get very far. I felt helpless and dependent on the shoe industry.
Here is a podcast episode about my journey from boots to barefoot.

I surf foiled the F-one SK8 850 foil. I was mostly testing to see how it handled wing tip piercing the surface, and how it performed in head high plus long period swell.
In this video I show what happens when the wing tip comes out, and compare the SK8 ride characteristics to the F-one Eagle, Seven Seas, and Phantom foils.
Also there are additional videos of a short wing foil session speed test, and another surf session in small gutless surf.

This video I remove and then install 4 new bladders in a wingfoil inflatable wing.
A mostly straight forward job to replace a bladder, and there are several tricks or tips that can turn failure into success.
In this video series I replace a leading edge, center strut, and two side strut bladders of an 8 meter wing. I also show and explain valves leaking and how to check for leaks.
