KB24 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I know we have people from all walks of life here but I was just curious as to what everyone does as their career. Or since I know a lot of people hate what they do for a living, what are some dream jobs you guys hope to one day have besides doing what Rob and Lisa do? -Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawaiiBill Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Aloha everyone, I have not posted here in quite awhile but I see lots of familiar names of people I have known over the years on numerous cigar forums. Great to see you all again. As for a living? I am blessed to work a job I absolutely LOVE. I am the associate editor for an online SUP (stand up paddle) surfing magazine. SUP is done on slightly larger than normal surfboards and is done by standing up and propelling yourself along with a long outrigger type paddle. Some of us do it large Hawaiian surf but it is also hugly popular for flat water (lakes, rivers, etc) fun and exercise. It has been practiced in Hawaii for decades but it has seen an amazing resurgence in recent years. It is currently the fastest growing water sport in the world. My job has several duties like writing articles, covering and sometimes entering surf events, ad sales, and co host of an online radio show. The money isn't great (yet) but that is secondary as the job is extremely satisfying and rewarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
