Summer Flatness Returns

It’s back and flat Keirra Knightly out there. I’ve been checking the upcoming surf forecast and there’s not much more than a ripple any time soon for South Florida. No surf. It looks like the summer doldrums are here to stay. At least for the next week anyway.
I always hate this time of year. [...]

Turn and Cough

Yup, it’s that time of year again. I made a doctor’s appointment to get ye old physical this morning and Bill said just to take half a day. So after sitting in a room for a few in a white backless gown, I decided to treat myself to what was left of yesterday’s surf. Surf [...]

We Have Surf!

I was as shocked as you when I heard the new yesterday. Well, maybe not. The wind’s changed direction and churned up some nice little wind chop for us to ride. I took my little brother Mike out for his first time on a surfboard. The hardest part about the first day of surfing is [...]

A Year Older

Well it wasn’t a huge to-do but my little bro’s now a year older. That’ll be his last teenage birthday. I got him a Quicksilver backpack and a pair of Quicksilver sandals for the beach though the sandals came out a bit too big. Good thing the store’s only four blocks away.
Dinner was delicious and [...]

Happy Birthday Bro

Today’s my little brother turns 19! Happy birthday Mike. He came down to stay with me for the summer about a week ago. So far I’m sure he’s been bored out of his skull as every kid out of college is looking for the same part-time job. I live in a fairly active area full [...]

Cute Little Keala

    Damien Komala - web designer

    I'm a seasoned 31 year old web designer originally from Cincinnati Ohio (born in Wilmington) and now living in West Palm Beach, Florida. Currently holding the Senior Designer/Developer position at THAT Agency in downtown West Palm Beach. A small yet very talented design firm specializing in high end PHP and CSS sites for various clients.

    Even though I'm from Ohio I'm a die hard South Florida Surfer and beach guy. I picked up the sport over three years ago and never looked back. Any chance I get I'm in the water, which is sometimes rare considering that South Florida is fairly inconsistent with surf. Those days we do get are always a great gift.

    The blog itself is primary here to communicate with family and friends though it does server other purposes as well such as showcasing my portfolio, skillset and resume as well as giving me a place to express myself without (too much) injury.
