In the Madidi National Park we saw these tiny bits of leaves walking across the path. We looked a little closer and saw that these tiny ants were carrying these bits of leaf for miles. Well, maybe not miles but for a long way.
Awhile back I lifted an old board Greg Mungall had lying around in his glass shop. It was a 1982 6'2" Twinny called "Hooks, Wings and Things." The surf had been small so I figured I'd clean the dust off and get the old beater wet to see how she went. I ended up surfing the board in one foot HB, 6'-8' Newport Point and everything in between. Thus began my love affair with Twin Fins.

Hi Michael,
It's been a while! Thought I get in touch...what a way to find you back!
Great too see you're still going strong...
Here's what I've been doing. Quite unspectacular compared to you:
Still didn't manage to move to a place where I can surf permanently.
Living in London with a kid these days. Both my wife and I working for
a Hedge fund and Bank. Not exaggerating if i say we got zero life
quality. All work and no play.Trading in the financial markets has
been no joke these days and was actually working for Bear Stearns when
they blew up (not my fault, I swear). Starting for a US hedge fund in
October.
This means I have a couple of months time to kill. My wife has given
me permission to travel. Would be awesome to catch up and have a surf
together. (No worries as I have money to pay for a hotel these days.)
Last thing I know you were launching a surf clothing brand with Sven.
Has your beer brand broken through?
Let's catch up soon!

what's your email? mine's koen.de.keyzer@gmail.com
by the way that whole travel thing is evil. You're supposed to settle down, have kids, behave 'responsibly', boring job, talk about the old days...you're doing it all wrong...makes the rest of us feel really bad...
