This coming weekend is going to be an interesting one when it comes to surf (if the report stands the rest of the week). They’re calling for 12.5 foot surf coming this Sunday…now it’s just a matter of hoping it’s not some crazy wind chop. More than likely it will be but it should be fun regardless. It’s time to dust off the old Seven Fish and cross my fingers for some decent waves. Keep an eye on the surf cams, here comes some surf....

Yesterday we had a little bit of surf and I was dying to try out the new beach cruiser and the Mule surfboard carrier so I thought, what the hell…I’m going surfing. The sets were small but I was able to catch half a dozen good little rides. The water felt like bathwater, so warm and full of sea grapes and vegetation but it was worth the effort. The new beach cruiser works perfectly and the one gear is set to just the right speed, nice comfy seat and my own personal addition… the cup holder. Hey, it’s the little...

Yesterday, during one of my quick runs to the beach right before lunch I was both pleasantly surprised and disheartened by the sight of a group of about 20 surfers all lined up waiting for perfect little 3 foot glassy waves. Perfect little peelers on a super glassy, sun-shiny day. Ugh, and this was at noon so in order for me to have any chance of going surfing the swell would have to last at least 4-5 hours allowing me time to finish work and get my ass to the beach. Unfortunately, this didn’t happen. At least I had a...

Sunday afternoon I got the call there may be a little surf over at Palm Beach so obviously I had to take a quick run out on the motorcycle and check it out. Sure enough, there was a 1-3ft surf so I made a snap decision and packed up the board and headed out. I recently bought a Mule surfboard carrier to make it easy to get the longboard out to the beach. I only have a crappy mountain bike so that made it a bit rough but it was worth it to get back in the water. I have...

You get to take shots like this one from an 8th floor balcony. I’ll upload the rest of the images here but overall this one turned out the best (in my opinion). It’s the one that represented the sunset at the time. As usual when shooting sunsets I go through my settings and try out various shutter speeds, ISO’s and Fstops....

Last weekend was a great time. I pretty much laughed the entire time hanging out with neighbors. By the time Monday the 4th actually rolled around it had begun to catch up with me but hey, we all need recuperation days. Loads of pooltime, morning bloody Mary’s and margaritas. I didn’t bring the camera out so no shots this time but it was a great time. Longboards turned out to be a really cool spot and the street event on the 2nd was a good time. They had a half-pipe in the middle of the street loaded with skateboarders and...

I’m either moving servers or I’m making some serious changes to my account at EZ-WEbHosting. I’ve been with them for years and only have a few sites up on my server. I’m currently running my personal portfolio (MyNameIsDamien.com), my company site (RockwellDesignStudio.com), this site and even the charity site for my old friend Joe (EveryonesJoe.com). All are wordpress sites and the only one that’s even active and updated is this one, and still I’m having server issues. I’m working with EZWEb to see if they can fix the problem so hopefully I’ll it resolved soon. Sorry for the downtime readers,...

Last weekend was a great time. I had a few friends over and it was time to make some of my famous margaritas from scratch. We even went down to Rocco’s to compare mine and theirs and to be honest, mine was voted hands down the best one they’ve ever had, haha. I took a ton of photos while we were in the building. Visited Alex for his birthday and even ran into my buddy Brian for a moment. Overall the night turned into a semi-black-out-shit-show but man, it was a good time. If you want to see the photos…you...

I actually just wanted an excuse to post this picture of Gonzo as Hunter S. Thompson and Animal as his attorney. It’s been hot as hell lately which makes it tough to take a ride to the beach except for in the mornings and evenings. Each stop light is like an oven. Yesterday was the summer solstice which means for the next six months the days will gradually get shorter and shorter. This also means summer is just about halfway over which may be bad news for some of you. For me, I’m always welcoming winter in South Florida. There’s...
