At the Beach
Okay, this one is a little silly...
Years ago, on a small-surf but sunny day at Dockweiler State Beach, my wife took this cheesy photo of me standing with my Wavestorm:

| Photo by Katie and not Mitchel (though he thinks he took it) |
I've mentioned before that I used to write for StoreYourBoard.com, and did a piece on the Wavestorm as a good beginner board. There's also a chapter in All Roads Lead to Dockweiler about it, also using this photo.
Well, fast forward many years and one day my friend Aaron sent me a link to a guy offering surf lessons on Facebook who was using my photo for marketing, asking if it was me.
Nope.
And then a few months after that, he noticed it had popped up on Craigslist as a print:
I couldn't believe it! Someone was selling my likeness as "original" art. Well, he wasn't the only one, as Aaron also found this one about a year later:
Apparently, this image needs to be out in the world! And so, I am launching the first OFFICIAL Rick-at-Dockweiler-with-a-Wavestorm Design!
Because apparently, the world wants it. And hopefully you do too!
Starting at $20, it's about as cheap as a shirt gets these days. It's also available in long sleeve, sweater, hoodie, tri-blend tee and a sticker!
