Michael Brindley, age 12-13 yrs, 1973 or so (this is my early beginner outfit)
2 first place wins advance to novice
3 first place wins advance to intemediate
3 first place wins advance to expert
I was one win away from advancing to an expert before the family moved to Belgium
I got to watch Jeff Ward race in the expert level back in those days
all during my European stay people foreigners would ask if I surfed....always everytime
Parents divorce in belgium brought me back home at 17 with no moto
So I dedicated myself to becoming a real californian who surfed.........
this photo to me is a turning point in time from becoming a die hard motocrosser to becoming a die hard surfer
A time of adolescence, aerosmith, hippies, lime sherbert ice cream and pure magic..............

"The Kiss"
one of my earlier paintings.........here is a little about it
A "Kiss" of light before an extraordinary event.........A harmonic convergence, very rare
Consider it too as your own lifetime.........a mere glimpse of time on mother earth in
porportion to her exististence........Like a "Kiss" of light, blessing you with existence
your lifetime is only the glimpse....the universe is in motion and eventually the glimpse will be no more......

Make your "kiss" of light on this earth as full as you can....
take a risk, do things that you haven't got around to do, tell someone how you really feel
about them, do something you think you really shouldn't, learn what makes you happy and perfect it, reach out to others no matter how strange or awkward it feels and just be yourself,
if you don't expect perfection in other people then you don't have to be perfect as well........

Be human.......apart of the universe........if only for a glimpse of time
