| grab your issue! |
If you live anywhere on the Californian coast in between San Clemente and San Diego you probably read The Ocean Magazine. Not only I have been reading it since I moved to Encinitas but I also collected some issues, either because I loved the artwork on the cover (some covers are framed in my house!) or because I really enjoyed the featured stories. I consider this free journal as a
local surfing encyclopedia. The topics range from the surfing icons or the new prodigy on the rise, legendary shapers and historical shops, collector surfboards, local artists, musicians, photographers and even living mermaids!!! The stories are diverse but
all related the love of the Ocean.

| with Robert Wald |
Robert Wald, writer/editor/publisher, is a local legend himself and his famous photographs are part of an exhibit at the Encinitas library. I got to know him when I won a photography contest: I had some of my tandem surfing pictures published in his magazine. He contacted me recently for an article about tandem surfing and he decided to write an article about my shaping obsession instead !!! And here I am,
page 25-26 of the August/September 2012 issue! I try to keep it low but, hey,
it is a BIG DEAL to be acknowledged as a local character!!!! (Just enjoying a bit of fame here :))
Please visit the online edition for the full article:
click here. But also available in hard copy at my house and in most of the public places in San Diego county costal area.
Robert, thank you so much for giving the opportunity to share my shaping passion with the readers of Ocean Magazine. Thank you also for the kind introductory words in your article.
