It is so funny that you mentioned actual books, my husband and I had a date night and went to a big library book sale, steemit being glitchy made that happen haha!!
Haha, really?! That is a cute idea for a date night!!
How are you doing, honey? Has your brother finally managed to sign up to steemit btw?
Wishing you a wonderful weekend π
I'm doing great! Did you see my post about @ericvancewalton's book?
My brother Did sign up for steemit, but the confirmation email went to his spam and his settings made it so he couldn't open it, so now he has to figure that out and hopefully it doesn't take him another 126 years hahaha!
Now I did!!! I wasn't reading much on steemit these days, since I'm running a charity project (in real life :-)). So I had to organize a lot of things at the same time. The project will be part of my presentation at Steemfest, so I'm putting all these puzzle piece together for the great show in Lisbon :-)
Amazing article, a really nice chorus on Eric's outstanding work which is definitely remarkable. I'm very keen on meeting all these wonderful people soon.
So the steemit confirmation email got lost then? Oh dear... That account will take him forever to be installed haha Crossing my fingers :-)
Well, I've certainly enjoyed peeking in on you and your summer! I'm glad you found your center line once again. It's refreshing to have all the blocks stacked nice and neat yet again before the next quake. That's what life does. It challenges us and we're supposed to over come those challenges, no matter what they entail, then grow from those experiences for the better. Thanks for sharing your glorious summer with us! I enjoyed it immensely and learned much from you to boot! Bravo! ;)

I couldn't have said it any better. In summer 2015 I was completely down. Now looking back it feels amazingly good to know that I made it. There was a moment in time when I said: There will be only a light at the end of the tunnel if I start walking towards it. Then I stood up and just walked.
Now I'm living the life I've ever dreamt of. It's very important to NOT EVER GIVE UP.

Thank YOU for being part of it!!! The community inspired me to share all these adventures and to paddle into that direction (literally). So I really appreciate that :-)
I'm not very excited to say Good Bye Summer it actually makes me really sad. Thanks for sharing the Arctic Surfer, I would never even imagine doing anything like this. Amazing.
Yes, winter could be beautiful when it's all white, but I still prefer summer bright sun and all the green nature since it's so alive. This is why I want to live in El Salvador.
Ick Winter! Have you done or plan on doing any posts on how to pick a wetsuit that fits? I kayak and have a spray deck but I should really buy one and don't know what to look for to make sure it is a good fit!
Well it's like with buying underwear: you really need to try it on to make sure that it fits :-) A suit has to be like a second skin, otherwise it wouldn't do its job.
So what I do mostly is going to a local shop (that is rather expensive) to try on the suits and know what size I need, and then I order them online (which is usually much more economical).
I'm pretty happy with my new Xcel suit. Xcel usually doesn't have the zip in the back, which a) makes getting into the suit much more tricky but b) is also much more comfortable while doing sports. The zip can become really nasty depending on the sports you practice.
Before I had a Rip Curl which I also liked very much.
Where do you kayak? How cold is the water there? Depending on that you would choose the corresponding thickness of the suit. I have a 3.2mm now for winter season on Canary Islands, but that's not enough for cold water.
Hmmm, there are much more things to bear in mind... Probably I should do a post about it :-)
Good idea!! Hehe
Thanks for the ideas! It gets pretty cold here, the lake does freeze over but usually can still enjoy when it is between 5 to 10 degrees. More needed as precaution incase I fall in!
Wow! Surfing in the Artic, some people have such exciting lives, which include beauty and fun, and danger. Every day must be exzillorating, and well worth living for. WOW!
nice to hear that you had a awesome summer. for me surfing as well is creating balance in my life. would be very hard without it! ππ€
some guys are really fearless. I love surfing so much but wouldnΒ΄t go in there for money. I was surfing Australian east coast in winter with nothing then a Boardshort and this was cold already!!
Arctic surfing looks insane. I love scuba diving and I'm even wearing a long wet suit in water temps of 28-29C... think I got used to tropical temperatures. Glad to hear you had a great summer. Wish you a great winter season too ;)

Oh yeah, I did that, too. A couple of years back I did scuba dive in Sharm El Sheikh where the water was at 29C. No matter how warm the water is, after a certain time your body gets cold anyways.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your thoughts :-)
Hope you're enjoying a great weekend!
it's nice to see you put short sleeves back and put long sleeves on, it's a sensible decision indeed in such weather, i really enjoy watching and reading your summer surfing posts and i wish you a very cheerful and adventurous winter ahead, Stay confident and thanks for sharing.
Many people get ill in-between two seasons, since their immune system is not prepared for the change. That happens both changing from warm to cold seasons and the other way around. I always try to consume a lot of Vitamin C during these periods :-)
you are right i also have that same problem whenever the season is changed, i mostly get flu, head ache and fever, thanks for your good tip i also try to take vitamin C directly from now onwards.
Seasons change brings a new appreciation of the gifts that summer bring. I guess your island life is similar to my situation in that we never really see a harsh winter like higher latitudes. We are almost the same latitude on opposite sides of the equator.
Super. Ride the waves in the winter, and even in such a cold. If it was not for this film, I would never have believed that it was possible.
There just stand on the shore frozen, and water, where the huge waves are very uncomfortable.
Thank you. Very interesting film.
Our water only gets as low as 16 degrees celcius in winter. People say I am crazy for surfing in the middle of winter. I always laugh because I know how cold other country's have it and it is actually warm. Its more the wind that can get a bit chilly. Looks amazing to surf in such an isolated harsh environment. Cool post
YEWWWW! Love your work Marly. Keep following the summer round the world and youll only ever have to wear boardies again! ;)
Im currently on a surf trip in Indonesia and the water temperature is a balmy 28oc - even a springy will cook you and it feels amazing just to walk around in nothing but shorts all day. Still i look forward to Autumn back in NZ when the temp drops to 14oc and you need a hood for the really cold mornings. Its always a good way to wake up if youre feeling a bit dusty from the night before!
live life loud !
@surfermarly
Ha! Always :-)
just followed you @surfermarly to keep myself updated with ur experiences.
Would appreciate if you follow back :)
I do :-)

Me neither, haha! I'm just OK with watching it :-D

Yeah, that's definitely an exciting task. I don't think I would do it. I'd rather stand at the beach with a hot coffee in my hands watching them, haha

That's pure freedom, isn't it? :-)

It is!! Had a wonderful Sunday here on Bali. Working the whole day, surfing at sunset, dinner and now steemit!! βοΈ

This. And to be honest sometimes I miss it :-)
Yesterday it was raining for like 5 minutes and I celebrated it, haha

Surfing in the Arctic! Sick!!!!
Haha, I fully agree :-D
