Picking Up Good
Vibrations!
Written by SurfWriter Girls Sunny Magdaug and Patti Kishel
The number 11 is said to be lucky, filled
with good karma, positive vibes, and strength. On this 11th anniversary of
our SurfWriter Girls blog, we hope that's true because we can always use some
good vibrations.
The past 11 years have been an awesome
ride and we appreciate all the stories we've been able to share with you about
the people, places, events, and changes that are making a difference in the
global environment, surfing and beaches.
Since starting our blog, we've written over
300 stories and had the opportunity to interact with people who are passionate
about what they do and are working to make the world a better place.
Some of the stories we've covered this past
year include the U.S. Open of Surfing, beach artist Robin Hiers,
the rarely seen Dumbo Octopus, Surfrider
Foundation protecting the ocean, and the Pacific Marine Mammal Center rescuing
sea life. And more environmental and beach lifestyle stories in our
sister online publication Surf'n Beach Scene Magazine.
This year we were sorry to lose our good
friend and mentor Tony Soriano, former chair of the Surfrider Foundation's
Huntington/Seal Beach Chapter. He was an all-around good guy who loved to surf
and spent countless hours helping to make the beach community and the world
better. Tony's light is one that can never be dimmed, and we hope that it will
guide and inspire us in the coming year.
If you have stories of your own to share
or ideas for our blog, please let us know. We'd love to hear them. Let's all
pick up on the good vibrations!
Surf’s Up and Mahalo!
