Hallow
Eve of the New Year here in NY and I’m surprised to find myself still alive and causing “quite a stir” at good ole MSKCC. Still too weak to consider the siren call of the cold north Atlantic, in honor of the occasion of the postponement of my death, thought I’d relate something from my younger years...

melanoma
I have cancer. An old enemy, metastatic melanoma, has asserted itself after lying dormant for some years. I have a large tumor in my abdominal cavity. For those interested in precision, I’m stage 4, inoperable. Now I can think back to numerous occasions where I was beyond stage 4 in the fire departm...

waterlogged, since you know surfboards this should be a walk in the park to shake the rust off. you don't HAVE to wear fins to KB, its an option, a good one in my opinion. with your background as stand-up leave the fins on the beach, figure where the board is in wave catching trim, surprise yourself...

Hi waterlogged, I surf much further east than you, but long island just the same. you are experiencing the same frustration any bodyboarder would have transitioning to a surfboard, and you're trying to do it in winter to boot. for starters, board out in front hanging off the back kicking ala BB, for...

Gardener Island
I’m not sure what relationship Jerry’s family had to Don Aronow, for sure there were roots stretching to Florida, but that one magic summer of 1966 when Jerry motored up to the local beach steering a beautiful red Donzi 16, smiling ear to ear and sporting a Hav-a Tampa cigar and a white terry robe h...

sorry I missed the boat with my first comment, but the emphasis seemed to be on film. have you considered the rotational aspects of surfing and center of mass. I was respectable as a standing surfer and found that in cutbacks, especially short ones where you havn't outrun the curl completely the boa...

have you considered camera angle? any movement straight at a camera lens appears to be not moving until enough distance is covered to perceive a change in size, especially through long glass. witness the fin release sequence in Sparrow and Friends where simon appears to be on a flowrider, neat photo...

problem with east coast this time of year is hit and run swells. jet stream picks up the lows and kicks them up to Nova, then on to europe. even so, some nuggets sneak through: a Mike Nelson shot: http://www.newyorksurf.com/modules/ipboard/uploads/1174312904/gallery_1_6_12809.jpg some place on Long ...

guess my age is showing I'll have to check the back episodes of Sea Hunt to see if Mike Nelson called his flippers fins, or ducks. damn nice boat that lapstreak ulrichsen. considering I bought my first pair of Voits at MacSnyder's Army surplus when I was 7 (fastened my first hand spear from a triden...
