Surfing in Wales

After about three hours of driving, I arrive in Wales. I am visiting a friend from university there. It’s a very sunny June week and we walk outside a lot. Then, on a windier day, we have something big planned—we’re going surfing. My friend is new to all this—I’d been surfing on standing waves before and watch the World Surf League religiously—but today, none of us knows what to expect. Read More

El Canou’co, a surfing dilemma

“El Canou'co” he said, almost coughing out the last syllable of the word. Fisherman and mariners usually have names for surf spots, decades before any surfers ever turn up and give them their own names. I didn’t have a clue what “Canou'co” meant, but it sounded cool. Read More

Shifting Shorelines

I feel a little off (maybe uneasy?) this morning. Not enough sleep and the usual pain is shooting through my spine. For a beat, I hesitate to get into the car. Would it have been more comfortable to get back in bed? I brush the thought off and tighten the straps around my board. You’re already there, quietly waiting for me. Read More

Train Lines

Navigating Japanese is stressful enough without a small character mocking you from the corner of the screen like some fever dream. If not for the help of two security guards and one especially kind English speaking bystander, I fear I’d have blown my money as if it were the pokies. Read More

Vietnam is Drowning—Week Five

We went out for a few beers but I was uncomfortable the whole time, anxiously watching the water slowly rise and chain smoking Vietnamese cigarettes like those monkeys on YouTube. I’m not a smoker. I don’t know why I put my health in jeopardy but I was already drudging through brown bacteria filled water, so what the hell.
