Best Day Ever Surfed: Chicama, Peru - Jan 06 - after a two day journey thru the desert and Feds trying to take all our belongings and days of being sick from parasites...we made it to Chicama - thanks to our local bro Jorco for driving us in his 80's minivan. As we drove up, our mouths dropped at the longest left barrel we ever saw! We surfed it all night, then noticed the locals walking around the cliff with surfboards...so we followed them only to find we where surfing only the last third of the point break! It was like a skate park!!!

Accepted Jesus When?: 2002 to 2003 After a night at a party, finally finding out that I can't live this life alone (and always searching for fulfillment) and feeling a need to be forgiven for the many times I have done and do wrong. I called upon Jesus, in tears, at one of the lowest points in my life. I asked Him: "Jesus, if you're real - come into my life, cause I can't do this any more - I can't live this life of immorality any more. I need you. If you're real Jesus - Come!" and He did!!! I look back now and I don't know how I lived a day of life without Him!
