tales from the edge


The call of the sea is strong in me. It’s the edge of my world, where life and adventure meet. I dream of it with my eyes are wide open, focused on the next trip, it’s an escape. I love bringing my world to the beach mixing family and excitement. It’s the only fishing I do where I will swim with my target, the fish that live on the other side of the edge.

It’s also a world of lessons, some of them are earned in pain while others are surprises. Stepping on a sting ray, having the shocking electrical cord of a jelly fish wrapped around my shin, my line ripping the mirror still water surface moving away from me at freeway speed, it’s a world of wonder, respect and rules.

I am an inland surfer, a beach fisher, landlocked but I hold a key to escape.

I'll share with you, my slip away, beyond the edge, into the sea, while riding an endless wave of enthusiasm.
