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 preview video from this meditation page:

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.
Recently I heard we can survive 3 weeks without food, 3 days without water, and 3 minutes without air. Given this reality it seems breathing is a bigger priority than food or water. There is a lot of information out there about what to eat and where our food comes from, likewise the water bottle boom has been around for a while. To me it makes sense to put as much if not more time and attention on our breath, how to breath, and what’s in our air. I had been doing breathwork for years prior to 2020, and the recent phenomenon of demanding people wear something over their face and alter our natural breathing seemed beyond insane.
Foil wings of the same shape often come in two or three different sizes, and each larger size is usually several inches wider. I created a vector graphics file to allow me to calculate mast height for each wing size AND keep the lean over angle the same. As an example I have two F4 surf wings size 1250 (27.5" span) and 1700 (33.5" span), when using the same 28" mast on the larger wing I need to ease up on my turns to keep the tips in the water. So I want a taller mast that will allow me to lean over by the same degree and carve the same tight turns. This vector graphics file showed me how tall the mast needs to be to do the same turns.
Here is the file in both Adobe Illustrator (AI) and SVG format:
To use this file you will need to know how to use Adobe Illustrator or similar vector graphics software.

On day I added up the parts cost of one of the carbon fiber camera mounts I was making, the total was almost $200. I saw the bamboo poles that were sitting unused in my garage and remembered I only paid a few bucks each for them. So I spent the next hour hacking together a bamboo mount, tried it in the surf the next day, and it was a total and instant failure. I gave up on bamboo for a while.
