Skin and Hair

Hair SkinEvery 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.

How to Meditate

How to MeditateI 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.

Barefoot

BarefootI 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.

F-One SK8 Foil Review

F-one SK8 Review 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.

Thanks to Olivier at Covewater for letting me demo a SK8.
