This is to announce the release of Book One and Book Two of Surfing Through Time, covering the periods 1964-1968 and 1969-2018 respectively  The books cover how surfing helped create a sturdy and stable foundation for business and family life.  They are available on Amazon both as Kindle files and as paperbacks.

Is surfing special?  I know we surfers think so, and the broad global culture has seemed to support us on this over the past fifty-five years.  As said, surfing is both participative and visually attractive.  You can do it, and you can watch it as well.  It has had an incredible number of spin-offs; stand-up paddle, snowboarding, skate boarding, wind surfing, kite boarding, etc.  It has absolutely captured the lexicon; We surf the Internet, we “Channel surf” on TV.

In both Books One and Two, each chapter starts with a brief lyrical quote from a song which fits the story in the chapter.  Music of all kinds was always the sound track to “Surfing Through Time.”  Some are happy tracks, some less so; Even the surfing life isn’t always perfect.

On the other hand, the effect of anything one does when young which is healthful and joyous ought to stand one in good stead as one ages, don’t you think?
