I herniated a disc in my lumbar in January (again) and its been 4 months since Ive surfed. I’m starting to get my feet wet in April and have a few people to thank in my process of my healing other than my family and friends. I have had some great help and support from Dr. Sten Krammer, Dr Saby, Dr Glenn, Dr Maura Timm, Liba Placek, Jaclyn Hannibal and Brad Jones.  Heres a look at my 1st session back from my personal photog, dad.

  2. Austin it’s your old buddy Nate Skinner. Miss you man. Very good to know your well and enjoying life. I’ll keep checkin back for updates. I’ve been up in Utah for the last few yeas. Its a beautiful place. We’ll have to catch up some time.

  3. Hey you remember that day at Seaside when the shore break was going off? I think it was just you me and Brad. It was in the evening. The tide and swell just happened to be right for that center shorbreak (that was hardly ever rideable normally). We were just taking turns and we all got barrels. The wave was breaking right and the water was reflecting all the colors of the sun going down. That was one of the best days I can remember from those days.

    1. Yeah Nate, I’m good, How are you? I do remember that session and also remember one at cardiff where we thought we saw a shark and paddled back in, hah. I haven’t been getting to much water time latley because Im giving my back a chance to heal it self but Ive been traveling alot. Hopefully see you in water soon or maybe in Utah for some snow time.
      Austin
