Writing updates: We just finished the rough draft of our novel, "Quixotic". It is the origins story for our characters Rip and Tide. The first three chapters are off to publishers and agents. Our elite team of product research specialists (our middle school students) have given it a thumbs up.
We heard back from an agent about our latest rewrite for our action/adventure film, "Coyote", and he gave it the green light.
Please keep us in your prayers that the New Year will bring us success with our projects, and that we will be diligent on the promotional front.
Surf and Skate updates:
Trevor has finally mastered the "drop-in" at the skate board parks and is feeling more and more comfortable gliding his fish upon the emerald glass, and Danny is carving the waves like never before, performing text book bottom turns, and tucking into the curl whenever possible.
Thanks for your support.

Now to the pics...
In between seeing old friends at the Reunion, Brent and I were able to skate some sweet skateparks (no pictures) and get an epic downhill Mnt. bike ride in, and my dad and I were able to do a nice 10 mile bush hike across the mountains.
Brent, Dad, Sister, John, and Me at the start of our descent down Pikes Peak. Brent was pumped, because he was going to attempt the epic downhill on a 5 year old bike three sizes too small for him, and John was excited his wife hadn't killed him yet for making her drive down Pikes Peak alone.
Pikes Peak is impressive from any view point, but when you're riding down it--spectacular!!!
A very cool log cabin for sleep overs, half way down Pikes Peak. Great stop for coffee and a snickers. The Bar Camp.
Always fun to spend time with my daughter Jordyn and sister Traci. Don't ask what that sparkling thing is in Jordyn's cheek.
Family time and Mega Mel's birthday!
Fun in Mega Mel's tractor with my beautiful and super cool daughter Dakotah at the wheel....yikes!!!
Mega Mel all geared up for epic hike. Would you want to run into this guy on the trails?
Start of hike took us up massive boulder field, My dad almost killed me once on one of these, so this time I stayed above him.
Mid-hike we came across one of the many WWII plane crashes scattered across the Rockies, God Bless the Armed Forces.
The Punch Bowls above The Navigators are fun and very cold if you slip.
Some nice falls.
A nice cup of coffee at the end of the day...great hike!
There might not be any waves in Colorado, but it's a great place, and full of people I love.
Have a Great Day!

Great post Surf Writer, without blogs like yours I would be miserable and bored. My recent injury has me cooped up at home, so it's always lucky to find a gem like your blog here to keep me amused. My used surfboards website is getting better but it's hard to find information on used surfboards stuff, so I like learning from quality blogs like yours because it helps me in my web projects. You do a sweat job my friend. I'll be bookmarking your site in a special place. Will probably tell a friend too.
Nice work ~

My rash guards website is getting better but it's hard to find information on rash guards stuff, so I like learning from quality blogs like yours because it helps me in my web projects.

Nice work ~
Surf Writer, what are we going to do...? I'm not sure about you but it's getting harder and harder to enjoy my blog because of all the spam it's getting attacked with. You may be having a similar problem... I enjoy my normal site about rashguard because it doesn't get cluttered with shallow comments, but when I'm visiting other blogs and places on the web looking for rashguard stuff it seems to be everywhere.
Well I'm not sure if you have any good tips, but good luck with your website goals. I wish you the best.
When China invades, I want MegaMel on my team!!!!!!! No more ECOFREAKOCOMMIEFAGS aloud!!!!!!!
Surf Writer, I need a little inspiration... I've read your post 'this post', I enjoyed it so I decided to comment. I've been thinking about my blog and how there are all these people posting strange comments there. Maybe you understand, I'm not sure, but it's tiring to read the numbers of comments that don't have much to do with my stuff. My normal new surf board website never suffers this because it just sells new surf board and isn't a blog. Do you have any ideas for how to stop the cluttering of non-relevant comments? Thanks for your great blog. Tips are always welcome...
good day -
Well Surf Writer, quality blogging comes from people who put the energy into their blog like you have. It was a nice change to land on your blog, lots of others are junked up with useless comments and information. I put a lot of energy into my surfboard site, so it does pretty well with surfboard stuff. I think I'll re-create my blog because I like what you've done here and want mine to be more like yours. Thanks for the lesson in good bloggin. You get a special bookmark :)
have a fantastic day..
