I've been back to Jacksonville many times since dropping out of school, but this is the first time I felt emotional towards the city. It wasn't a bad emotional though. To my surprise I was emotional because of the lack of negativity I have towards the space.

Instead, I continue to return and make new positive memories here.

How did you get into surfing? A fairly common question I get when meeting new people and the honest answer is, I don’t really remember. There wasn’t this one moment that I remember being introduced to surfing. I don’t remember my first wave. Looking back, I suppose that’s because my love for surfing formed and evolved over time.

Here’s to a new year, a new decade. Here’s to creating new goals. And continuing to build off old ones.

A little less focus on the actions and a lot more focus on the feelings and motivations behind them.
