It's been nearly five months since my last post... and for good reason. If you would have asked me a year ago what my life would look like in 2014 I would have told you that I would still be living, working, traveling, and competing throughout Europe and the UK. It amazes me how quickly one chapter of life can end and another begin. Let's call this chapter four.
From where I sit now I can finally see the dust settling. A four month process to move from London to San Francisco finally feels complete. I can breath. The best part is that Kaylin is with me, helping to make this new city feel like home. I have an amazing apartment in the Marina District with views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. My neighborhood is filled with unique shops, cafes and bars. There is even a marina with a perfect launch point for paddling within three blocks of where live. It couldn't be better. The only thing missing is a stock pile of boards, paddles, bike and skis... but these should be here within the next month (fingers crossed).
The plan... get back into shape, enjoy the California sunshine, paddle the bay, run and cycle at Mount Tamalpais, surf, compete, travel throughout the west coast, Mexico and the Pacific. Its time to take advantage of all that this new home has to offer. "Go Because You Can." Let's make the most of it.
