| 243997 | 12821 | Interests besides surfing revisited | 29 | Sax-son | Apr 9, 2022 | 2022-04-09T11:44:20-0400 | There was a time in my life when surfing was everything to me. I put all my energies into it like most of us do when we are very young. However, once I started college, I started to become exposed to many different experiences. Surfing was still something I was still interested in, but not at the obsessive level anymore. When I started into the work force, my time was whatever I could devote to it which was never really enough. This lasted until my mid-forties when I came down with a respiratory infection that I believe I picked up on a trip to Puerto Escondido back in the early 1990's. It took me out of surfing for at least 6 to 8 months before it cleared up to where I could paddle out again. I couldn't ever catch my breath. To get to the point, I have always been a part time musician and I started to build guitars for other musicians. As a result, I poured all my energies into that. It was reasonably successful for a while, but eventually I moved away from my customer base and have since just done a few per year. Attached is a photo of what I had put together. Most of these have since been sold. Image processing. Refresh page to view |
