\ni was out surfing the other day with a super good surfer. just following behind watching the action unfold. as soon as i seen him get low and bend his knees, i knew he was preparing for something big!
\n\"Screen<\/a>
\nthen i see him go off the top. knees still bent the way it’s supposed to. so i knew he was going to make it.

\nthen bam!!! smack the lip and perfect landing. so stoked to see progressive surfing right in front of my eyes!

\nlast year, i read the book “The Old Man and the Sea” by Ernest Hemingway. it was an epic story of a Cuban fisherman’s tale. that very book inspired me to go to Cuba to see what the American Nobel Prize winner experienced living and writing in Cuba. so as i sit on the caribbean on an empty beach, i see an old Cuban fisherman walk right on by. i snap this photo and thought to myself, “wow, the old man and the sea!”
\n\"IMG_1885\"<\/a>
\nand of course i will never sit back and let the moment pass by. i’m a fisherman and every fisherman has a story. so i get up and start talking to this fisherman. he spoke spanish, i spoke english. two different languages but understood each other clearly.

\nhe told me he was catching his daily dinner. just enough for his family waiting at home.
\n\"IMG_1886\"<\/a>
\nand he would use these ugly looking worms as bait. different country, different style. i just love watching ocean culture at its deepest.

\nhe casts his pole again. i sit back down and enjoy the most beautiful caribbean day dreaming about writing a book someday.
\n\u201cWhy do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day?\u201d
