- E M O T I O N A L L Y M O V E D Dear DEEP Surf Magazine, I was emotionally moved by Crai g Comen’s, Comen Sense “Surfing the End of the Rainbow” (November/December 2013) article. Thank you! When reading it, I had flashbacks of my past ’80s surfing lifestyle when I was grow ing up in Ventura. Those times formed my current spirituality and my character. I, too, lost some of those past circles of surfing friends to death, alcoholism, moves to inla nd states, etc. But those magi cal days will always stay with me. Your article was dead on to my current feelings about my past surfing experiences off of C-St reet and along the Rincon area . Every time I see a VW squareba ck and a twin fin board, those carefree ’80s come roaring back to my memories. I am a better husband, father and employee toda y because of my surfing past and those great friendships that were formed from that lifestyle. Thank you for your insightfulne ss, and also thank you DEEP for providing your free publicat ion in the Ojai Valley. I have framed your article and placed it in my Los Angeles office as a stress reliever.

Can Lakey rise above the fray?
Locals in the Hunt
Others to watch out for in 2014 are the Coffin brothers, Conner and Parker. Conner has set himself up nicely for a strong seeding in the Star events, and younger bro Parker will be slugging it out in the Pro Juniors. Lakey Peterson finished again in the top 10 in seventh position on the Women’s Elite Tour. Can she make the leap into the top five or beyond in 2014? THU 16
