๐ 50 years down. 51 begins today. ๐
A thousand mile journey begins with one step โ you never really know how far you can go until you go too far and come back changed. This past year I tried to live that on purpose.
๐โโ๏ธ Paddled out at Jeffreys Bay, South Africa
๐ฏ Kept training & mentoring the next generation of Air Force Special Warfare operators
๐ Shot a photo series through the Northeast during peak fall color
๐ Chased big water in Puerto Rico
๐ณ๐ฎ Surf tripped through Nicaragua
๐ฌ Produced "Stay True" music video + the Human Weapon System campaign
๐น๐ผ๐ฏ๐ต Documented history across Taiwan & Okinawa
๐ค Shot a press pass concert run with DENM, The Elevators & Slightly Stoopid
None of it was a solo trip. My wife and daughter held the shore the whole time so I always had somewhere to paddle back to. โค๏ธ
Year fifty is done. Year fifty-one starts now. Same ocean. One more step. ๐
