surfwriter

Surfwriter.net is the website I launched in February 2002. I was hoping to entertain a few web-surfers and re-establish contact with some of the old crew from my surfing days. Over the years, the site has welcomed millions of visitors and not only did I get back in touch with several of my old mates, I’ve met some exceptional people and made some new friends along the way.

While the web authoring software I used 20 years ago was perfect for the use I put it to back then, it has produced a site that is way out of date on several levels. So I’ll be migrating parts of that site back to this site over the next several weeks so I can rebuild it with a more modern format.

This is going to be a major challenge because I wanted to make the layout of my old site look like a 60s surfing magazine. And I think I succeeded. It’s going to take some effort and learning on my part to achieve this. So please bear with me.

I’ve already added my ‘Kidnap in Oaxaca’ story in my ‘Adventures’ section and I’ll be making some changes to the ‘Pieces’ menu to accommodate the new material.

In the meantime, click on the surfwriter.net link to go to the old site. I’ll keep the URL but I’m not sure if I’ll continue to maintain the account because the people at GoDaddy keep raising their prices.
