What’s Been Going On?

Geez, sorry for the lack of posts recently. Long weekends like that you’d think I’d be all over this thing but I’ve gotten lazy in my old age I guess.
Post New Years - after suviving yet another mediocre New Years I finally got to surf on Friday, whoo hoo! Jupiter was calling for 2-3 [...]

Thanksgiving [Eve]

First off I’m thankful for a short week. It’s only Wednesday but it feels like Friday, I love it. Not much planned for the glutenous holiday. This will mark the end of a five year tradition of having a turkey sandwich on the beach and surfing all day, which is pretty much the opposite of [...]

Hoping for Some Surf

Well, we’re hoping for some surf but as of 6:30 tonight there wasn’t much to speak of. Surfline was calling for 3-4ft but as usual I couldn’t hit because of the 6pm work time. I had planned on getting up at 5:30 am, yeah that early, to make a dawn patrol out of tomorrow morning [...]

Gorgeous Weather and Possibly Some Surf

When I woke up this morning it was 50 degrees and the temperature is slowly but surely rising (it’s 56 now). It looks like it’s going to be another cloudless, gorgeous day and to top it all off we may have some surf as soon as tomorrow morning. Now it’s just a matter of getting [...]

Waist to Should High Surf at Flagpole

Sunday afternoon was the perfect time to hit the beach here in West Palm. The tide was dropping, the water was warm (though the air was about 65 and chilly as hell) and I had finally convinced my bro Phil to get his board out and join me. It’s getting dangerously close to full wetsuite [...]

West Palm is 63 Degrees of Cool

Ah, I absolutely love the weather lately. The last two days it’s been so nice outside, nothing above 68 degrees and sunny, oh so sunny. I had to dig out the suede jacket, awesome. It’s a little too chilly to go to the beach but the boys, Dan and Ramil have been hitting the surf [...]

    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.
