Interaction Associates Names Jamie Harris Chairman of the Board
Boston, MA (PRWEB) January 20, 2011
Interaction Associates, a 40-year innovator in organizational leadership and collaboration, has named IA veteran and senior consultant Jamie Harris to the position of chairman of the firm’s Board of Directors. Harris’ appointment is for a two-year term.
Boston and San Francisco-based IA specializes in helping clients develop a new type of dynamic leader — the facilitative leader — a strategic, self-aware and collaborative leader who is deeply grounded in methods and skills that promote employee engagement, trust and performance.
“Jamie’s appointment as Chairman comes at a great time for this firm, especially with the popularity and growing demand for facilitative leadership skills,” said Linda Dunkel, President and CEO of Interaction Associates. “We’re innovators in building facilitative leadership skills and organizational cultures to support them. Jamie is uniquely gifted in using facilitative leadership development to address client challenges,” added Dunkel.
Since joining IA in 1998, Harris has specialized in organizational leadership, executive team facilitation, change leadership consulting, and the design and delivery of related learning and development services.
“More and more organizations value leaders with the unique capacity to engage others in solving complicated and challenging problems collaboratively, which yields greater employee commitment and discretionary effort,” said Jamie Harris. “That’s the essence of facilitative leadership — and IA is the global leader in helping clients grow organizational cultures in which facilitative leadership can flourish,” Harris said.
Harris has consulted with a broad range of clients in his role at IA, including F. Hoffman-La Roche, Wells Fargo Mortgage, Shell Exploration and Development, Sun Micro Systems, Siebel Systems, Genentech, American Century Investments, Chevron-Texaco, AutoDesk, Inc., Pacific Gas & Electric Co., California State Automobile Association, Intuit, Pfizer, Inc., The Bank of Hawaii, and United Airlines. In the public sector, he has provided strategic planning and organizational change consulting services and/or training for departments of Santa Clara County, CA, Contra Costa County, CA., the City of Lafayette, CA., the Defense Distribution Agency of the Department of Defense, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, and the nationwide non-profit environmental law firm Earth Justice.
Harris has served as a “management mentor” for the Harvard Business School Publishing “Manage Mentor” series volume on giving and receiving feedback (2003) and has published articles in “Executive Excellence” magazine (co-author with David Straus) (Jan. 2003) and the e-magazine “HR.com” (Apr. and May, 2004). He is the author (with David Straus) of “Theory in Action: Building Collaboration in a County Public Agency,” Chap. 17, in Creating a Culture of Collaboration, International Association of Facilitators Handbook, Sandy Shuman, Ed., 2006. He has also published articles on sailboat maintenance and improvement in various sailing magazines.
Harris graduated Magna Cum Laude from Yale University with a B.A. in Political Science and Economics and earned his J.D. from Yale Law School. Harris lives in Lafayette, California with his wife and has three grown children. In spare time he fly fishes for trout, plays jazz trombone, and sails a sloop on San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.
Harris replaces IA veteran Marybeth Tahar as chair of the board, a role Tahar held for the past eight years. “We’re grateful for Marybeth’s leadership on the board during an important time for the firm, and especially her role in shepherding the company’s transition to employee-owned status and the creation of the IA ESOP,” said Linda Dunkel. “Marybeth’s a vital ambassador for the IA brand and an important client engagement leader expanding IA’s impact in the world,” added Dunkel.

Peacock Bass Fishing – Making The Best Out Of This Exciting Activity…

No other sport fish in the world approaches the peacock bass’ reputation for ferocious, awe inspiring strikes and sheer tackle busting power. The peacock behaves like an aggressive largemouth bass on steroids with a really bad attitude. When a peacock decides to strike a surface lure, it hits with such power, noise and impact that you have a hard time believing it’s real. It can literally startle an unsuspecting angler into reflexively flinching and trying to drag the bait away.
Subsurface strikes can be no less impressive, feeling as though your bait somehow got hooked onto an underwater freight train. The peacock’s violent behavior and amazing displays of sheer strength seem impossible for a fish twice its size.
It seems to expend more energy than it can possibly contain for the first minute or two of its encounter with an angler. You’d think that a fish that fights this hard would tire very fast, but fishermen quickly learn that even as it comes to the boat, there’s usually another hook-straightening burst of power or line-peeling run remaining.
Peacock bass are Cichlids, members of the most highly evolved group of fishes in the world. Hundreds of species exist in both the old and the new world and represent some of the most diverse fish in the underwater domain. Many, such as Oscars from South America and the mbuna from Africa, are among the most popular home aquarium fishes, while other species such as tilapia, and are farmed to provide food for our tables
Cichla Ocellaris, the butterfly peacock, has a much wider range than its larger cousin. These peacocks (called mariposa) are differentiated by three black rosettes marking their sides instead of the black bars of temensis. Butterflies are not only found throughout Amazonian, but have been successfully transplanted to Central America, southern Florida, Mexico and Hawaii.
Although rarely exceeding 7 or 8 pounds, they are terrific fighters, readily strike the same baits and are every bit as aggressive as their larger cousins. A third species, Cichla Nigrolineatus, (or royal peacock) is found in faster moving waters and rarely exceeds 3 or 4 pounds.
Cichla temensis, called “tucunare azul or paca” in Brazil and “pavon azul or pinta lapa” in Spanish speaking countries, are very sensitive to water temperature and are therefore essentially restricted to the equatorial tropics of Amazonia. Specimens of this species of peacock bass have been caught as large as 27 pounds by anglers. Reports of commercially caught fish of over 35 pounds have come from the market in Manaus.
There are surely plenty of new records still swimming in the vast, relatively unexplored waters of the Amazon. Tucunare coloring and appearance is widely varied through its range and specimens from the same waters can often appear to be members of different species. All specimens have the trademark tail spot for which they are named, as well as black markings on the gill plates. Body color can vary from a dark brownish green through deep yellow to almost silver. Three black, vertical bars of varying size and intensity mark their sides and blood red runs along their bellies and colors their lower fins.
A common color variant, called “paca” displays dotted, horizontal white lines overlaying the pattern on their sides. (It is said that specimens with this color variation are even stronger and more tenacious than their brethren.) A second color variation has black connected splotches on the back and a horizontal black blotch along the belly. In some clear water fisheries, peacock’s fins are streaked with an unearthly electric blue. It’s hard to believe that a predatory fish as fierce as a peacock can also be so beautiful
As the rains come to an end in the areas feeding a river, water levels begin to drop, first in the headwaters and then further downstream. The waters recede from the flooded jungles and once again become confined in the lagoons and river channels. The baitfish, and of course their consumers, the peacock bass, return as well. During the early part of the dry season, the peacocks feed voraciously on the fattened and concentrated baitfish. This is prime time for peacock anglers. After a month of heavy feeding, they begin to spawn.
Unlike largemouth bass, which become aggressive and pugnacious when on the spawning beds, peacocks simply gather their young and retreat from fishermen presenting lures. The optimal time to fish for peacocks is the pre-spawn period, those four weeks or so after the rivers drop and before the fish get on the spawning beds.

Polynesia is a general term which meant many islands with its present day geographical territory at the triangular corners of Hawaii, New Zealand and the Eastern Island. It has a clear division among itself and comprises of east and west Polynesia with Cook Island and the Tahiti being the primary ones. The cultural aspect which dominated the Polynesian people was body art or decoration.
This practice of body art among the Polynesian people slowly spread among the European sailors before creating a major impact on the western society in the form of tattoo. Tattoo is a permanent ink marking into the skin layers which changes the pigmentation and it’s done mostly for decorative reasons. Although tattooing has faced much taboo but it still continues to be a globally acclaimed popular art. Tattoos have served several purposes like status symbol or rank of an individual, symbols of spiritual and religious devotion, talismans or as a mark of an outcast, slaves or convicts. Nowadays tattoos are mostly used for cosmetic reasons or for showing some kind of emotional or remembrance gesture. The dyes and pigments used for tattooing are materials like titanium di oxide and iron oxide or for that matter even carbon black, azo dyes, acridine or even quinoline.
Tattoos are often grouped by the theme, the most prevalent among them being alien, ambigram, anchor, extreme, Maori, tribal or flash tattoos. However there are others like Aztec, kanji, eye and gargoyle. Using a paper or cardboard for imprinting or drawing a design is the sole theme of tattoo flash and it may be regarded as a species of industrial design. Tattoo parlours often sport them on the walls or on the entrance gateway giving the prospective customers a vivid idea of the tattoos. Mostly found on an 11*14 inch print, it may or may not come with an outline. Some common flash symbols are anchor, Bettie page which is a symbol of beauty, barbed wire, heart, dragon or the carp fish which appears in traditional Chinese or Japanese legends and stories. Maoris are the original inhabitants of New Zealand and with them comes the word Maori tattoo which has withstood not only time but also colonization by the Europeans. These Maori tattoos or tatuaggi maori were a symbol of genealogy, tribal history and often marks of beauty or ferocity. Sometimes called Ta Moko it was mostly a facial form of tattoo though the global surge in the tattoo industry and the urge to be fashionable has made people wear them on all parts of the body. It wasn’t merely worn by the person in the ink form but predominantly the skin was chiseled for this purpose. Old tribes like the Celtic, Haida and the tribe of Borneo practiced this form of tribal tattoo or tatuaggi tribali. New tribalism is the remnants of the glorious past which has been traced back to the Bronze Age. They mainly demonstrate pieces of art form from native and indigenous tribe with an inclination towards personal or religious convictions. For its unique look tribal tattoo has become one of the most popular designs with celebrities like Mike Tyson, Sandra Bullock and Dwayne Johnson donning them.
This once dying art of the Polynesians have now become a fashion statement and many style icons are hugely acknowledged due to the bold and beautiful tattoo they wear on them differentiating them from the rest.

Maori-is an colonial name not a tribal name.We are an Indigenous aboriginal descending from back of the dragon as way back as 4,000 Bc.The ideaology recorded here in calling the Tattoo a tatuaggi is very foreign and no where is this word in our history.We are the unconquered Indigenous people occupying Aotearoa,but our evidence of occupation only goes back 900Ad so we migrated to Aotearoa from somewhere and the word Maori is evident anywhere in the world till the 16th century.

Maldives End of Season

Q – Richard, you just got back to New Zealand after another season in the Maldives working at Hudhuranfushi. How was this season?
Richard- What can I say? It was epic…. but if I must be specific, it was quite a slow start this season, well, just a lot of mid sized, fun days to start with. The first solid swell of the season was the week following the QS comp (early June) but remember that even when the surf is average, most guests are having the best surf of their lives. That’s the thing with the Maldives, as I have said before and I will say again and again, it is simply the most idyllic place in the world to go surfing. Sure there are many amazing places to surf and travel, Tahiti is beautiful and sitting in the line-up is breathtaking but you don’t truly have time to appreciate it because the very real “fear factor” means that you are not truly relaxed in your surfing. The beauty of the Maldives is that it’s comparatively “user friendly” yet can get big and hollow enough to be challenging no matter where you’re from. I have had guys who charge in Hawaii come to Lohi’s for a romantic get away with their partner, not really expecting to surf much and they end up surfing more than they do at home and really love it… at the other end of the scale are the guys and girls who’ve not really surfed over reef before, perhaps they are on a first trip overseas, they’re a bit nervous, worried that it might be too big and heavy for them but they ease into it, and end up having the best surfing experience of their lives…there is just something for everyone here.
Q- So, when is the best time to visit the Maldives?
Richard- If it’s the surf season (April – Nov) then any time is a good time!! In 2008 September and October were virtually deserted and pumping, we scored back-to-back swells with no one around for two straight months. July was good as well but the crowds were in full effect. This year July was empty and pumping and on-island crowds at Lohi’s were at a record low, but Sept and Oct were quite busy and the swells not quite as big as the previous year. Early season seems to be slightly more variable, it’s typically smaller, though often very glassy…crowds are usually lighter too…. I wasn’t joking when I said that any time’s a good time! You can get really good waves at any point in the season. When you book anything in advance, it can be a gamble if it involves the fickle moods of Mother Nature and the weather. It’s reassuring to know that the winds and storms that generate the waves we ride do follow seasonal patterns, so don’t stress the dates just book when you can!
Q-What boards should one bring to the Maldives?
Richard- Anything goes! Whatever you normally ride will be fine. I’d always pack for a slightly bigger day and also a board that goes well when it’s small and then you have everything covered. I’ve talked about boards in a previous blog so go to the World Surfaris blog page and check it out!
Q- Do I need a wetsuit, how’s the weather?
Richard- No wetsuit required! Boardies and a T-shirt or rashie is all you need, though I sometimes wear a 2mm vest if it’s windy…but I’ve softened right up!! The weather is usually wonderful but it can rain and when it does, it’s torrential! Each season there seems to be a week when it rains pretty much everyday. As much as I know it sucks for those wanting to relax poolside I quite like surfing in the rain – it’s quite refreshing and saves sunscreen. “Lohis perfection after the rain, nice shot Darryl!”
Q- What is the reef like? Do you need booties?
Richard- The waves break over a fairly flat rock bottom reef, but of course if you hit the bottom hard you can always get cut. The Maldives reef is pretty forgiving compared to Indo or Tahiti and some people bring booties but not many wear them, especially if they’ve got a surf pass and they are jumping from the boat out the back twice a day.
Q- Do you have to have a surf pass?
Richard- You have to be staying on island at Hudhuranfushi to surf Lohi’s. To surf any other waves you will need to go by boat and there are limited spaces on the boats. The boats go twice a day, morning and afternoon. Having a surf pass guarantees your spot on the boat. If you don’t have a surf pass and would like to surf another spot besides Lohi’s you can pay as you go but only if spaces are available. Surf pass holders have priority on all boats, which is a great feeling when it’s pumping at the other breaks!! To answer you question, you don’t have to have a surf pass but I do recommend buying one.
Q- Where do the boats go?
Richard- We have two boats; they both go morning (9:30 am) and afternoon (3:30pm). Typically, one boat will go north to the Cokes/Chickens breaks and one boat will go south toward Sultans/Honkies/Jails. Of course, it’s dependent on the conditions but if it’s on, we’ve got it covered!
Q- What are the waves like? Does it barrel like Indo?
Richard- I have talked about the waves on my past blogs so I’ll be brief! The waves are super fun and rippable, yet there are some days with epic barrels at all the breaks. Cokes can be the heaviest wave in North Male. It is a right hand barrel with a heavy inside section over fairly shallow reef. Chickens is the perfect left across the channel from Cokes – long and fast with some good barrel sections. In the other direction from Lohi’s is Sultans which is a super fun, very consistent right with many good sections…Honkys is the left breaking next to Sultans, another perfect wave that is so much fun when it’s on! Across the next channel is Jails, a long, perfect, slightly softer right, warm water J bay is how it’s often described! Does that sound appealing? Lohi’s is the very consistent left at Hudhuranfushi. It’s surfable pretty much every day and can be epic. It really is a wave of many faces from 2-3ft super fun and glassy perfection, to heaving stand up barrels.
Q- Can you learn to surf in the Maldives? Are there any beginner spots?
Richard- The Maldives is not really a good place to learn to surf. To be honest, you need to have a certain level of competence to surf over any reef. It is not ideal for someone who has never surfed before. However it’s the best place in the world to improve once you’ve learned the basics. The waves can be so perfectly mechanical you can really work on every aspect of your surfing…
Q- On average what are the crowds like?
Richard- Like anywhere it can be crowded, but most of the time the crowds are manageable and you can often get a session with no other boats. What I must stress is that compared to so many of the great waves in the world, the waves in this area have a number of take off spots so the crowd gets spread out. Again, I know I’ve been spoilt so my perception isn’t necessarily reality. I’ve surfed the best waves of my life in the Maldives with no one but a couple lucky guests…just lucky timing….so now even if I think it’s crowded the guests are saying ‘wow, there’s almost no one out’!! Like I say, no matter how many surfers are in the water you can always get waves….all the spots are surfable on any tide so it’s not a case of everyone in the area surfing the same waves on a certain tide before it goes un-rideable…
Q- Last time I went to Indo it seemed like every pro surfer and want to be pro was there on photo shoots. It was almost impossible to get waves. Does this happen in the Maldives?
Richard- No not really, of course around the contest there’s a huge influx of pro’s and cameras but I find they’re pretty cool to surf with and I actually quite enjoy it. Over the rest of the season you hardly see any, perhaps one or two boat trips or pro’s traveling with their girl but it’s inspiring rather than a problem.
Q- Who have you seen in the water? Any standouts?
Richard- hmmm..I guess I’ve seen most of the guys on the QS…All the Saffa’s are classics…Davey Weare and Greg,… Shaun Cansdell, Mick Cambell, Dan Ross…. They all just surf so well… How Shaun Cansdell is not on the Ct is a mystery to me. At Lohi’s, his was some of the best, most precise, stylish surfing I’ve ever seen. He owes me a tail pad though if you see him tell him to bring it next year! Mick Cambo is a legend! He’s all time, he would be talking it up to everyone all day – guests who knew nothing about surfing, who’d never even seen it before all loved him, the full on super gregarious Aussie larrikin. He was surfing more than anyone, hitting the cocktails then paddling out and blowing up!! I watched Dan Ross in a couple heats this year; he’s about 6’5” yet he was destroying these tiny little waves at Pasta Point. His spray was going twice as high as everyone else! We’d be surfing Sultans and we could see when he paddled out for a heat just by the spray he was chucking! It’s humbling yet inspirational to surf with guys like this.
Q- Is it easy to take photos – my girlfriend is really getting into surf photography – will she be able to shoot my sessions!?
Richard-!!!!? Hmmm… yeah for sure!! The deck at Lohi’s must be one of the easiest places to “get the shot” she can sit there under an umbrella, sipping a cocktail and take photo’s of you all day! Just make sure you remember it’s her holiday too, I find those spa packages seem to be a great incentive!
Q- OK, so can you do it on the cheap? Can you just turn up and find budget places to stay?
Richard- It is possible to stay on a couple of the islands, though I don’t really recommend it. More often than not, after a frustrating and fruitless time trying to arrange local boats and missing waves the guys wanting to “do it cheap” end up trying to come down to stay at Lohi’s. It is also a place you would never want to take your lady! With the Muslim religion as law on all local islands, she would have to cover up completely (cant show shoulders or above the knees) and no alcohol allowed, so it wouldn’t be such a fun trip for her.
Q- How is the food at the resort?
Richard- The food is pretty good, there is something for everyone. Fresh fish and salad everyday, and plenty of fruit… you can eat healthy if you choose to. There is a wide variety and many desserts you can hit it as hard as you like. It is a good feeling coming off the boat after the morning surf, and knowing lunch is ready and waiting….
Q- Local culture?
Richard- To be frank, the island is it’s own little world. A complete getaway from reality, however there is a cultural night once a week that is great with Maldivian food and drums and dancing after dinner. There is also the option of a day trip to Male via speedboat for a nominal fee through the resort.
Q-How does the Muslim religion affect the stay?
Richard- Not at all, apart from not being able to bring duty free alcohol through customs and hearing the call to prayer from the mosque at Cokes and Jails. You are at a resort and pretty much isolated which is neither good or bad…as I mentioned before, the rules are very strict for the local islands but the resorts do not fall under that law.
Q- So you can drink alcohol?
Richard- Of course!!! The World Surfaris deal is all-inclusive and you can drink as much or as little beer/wine as you want at no extra cost. The arvo boat arrives back to the resort at beer o’clock most nights! Cocktails are charged to your room and you settle up the night before you leave.
Q-Is it just honeymoon couples? How is the nightlife?
Richard- It really is a beautiful, idyllic little island and a wonderful place for a honeymoon or romantic getaway. At the same time I must stress that it is not just honeymooners, there is a broad spectrum of guests to Hudhuranfushi…. couples, groups of guys who come every year for a boys surf trip, girlfriends coming on girls surf adventure, to Russian air hostesses who seem to bring any party to life. There are cocktail nights and beach parties and a local Dj…but it’s not like Kuta beach in Bali!
Q-What else is there to do if there is no waves?
Richard- You can usually go surfing every single day and most surfers do, be it 2 ft onshore, 6-8 ft and barreling or the Maldivian norm – 3-5ft perfection. However if you happen to not be surfing, the snorkeling and diving is amazing (it’s a great place to get certified) and I do recommend bringing a mask and fins on the boat every session –I’ve been in the water with literally hundreds of Dolphins all around me and I’ve had massive Manta Ray’s gliding right over me. On the island, there’s a tennis court, a gym, table tennis, volleyball (by the beach bar – great fun for late arvo beers) squash, badminton and the Water Sports center where you can windsurf, jet ski, wakeboard or rent a canoe to go snorkeling further afield!
Q- What about yoga/Pilates?
Richard- We don’t have classes as such but the deck at Lohi’s is a great place to stretch out before a surf! I’ve had a number of guests who are Yoga teachers and they sometimes organize a small group and teach a class or two if anyone’s interested.
Q- Massage?
Richard- How could I forget to mention the Spa!! The Coconut spa is great, they offer pretty much every treatment from strong sports massage to facials and other stuff for the ladies that I don’t know much about! Seriously though, it is a great set up and after a good swell there’s nothing like a good massage to ease the aching shoulders.
Q-Can you go fishing?
You can organize excursions for both early morning and night fishing. Also, the surf boat captains are usually quite happy to troll to and from the waves or drop a line over the side while we surf.
Q- Do the boats stay while you surf?
Richard- Yes, the boat is usually anchored right next to us in the channel which is ideal if you want to take photo’s! If we have split up, say between Cokes and Chickens the boat usually stays where I am surfing so that I can organize the pick-ups. But it’s never far away!
Q- Is it possible to take a spare board on the boat?
Richard- Yes! If it’s big I think it’s a good idea. Also, we sometimes have “swap a board sessions” where we get as many different boards on the boat as possible and mix it up…always fun!
Q- Does the boat have a roof? Are you sheltered from the sun/rain.
Richard- Yes.
Q- Can my wife/girlfriend/partner come on the boat to watch and shoot photos
Richard – Yes, there’s a charge but well worth it!!
Q- Is there Internet?
Richard – Yes, The Hotel reception is a Wifi zone and there are also a couple computers available. The wireless is reasonably cheap so if you need to get online regularly, bringing your Laptop is a good idea!
Q- Surf shop?
Richard- No, bring everything you think you might need. Don’t forget to bring tropical surf wax – I find that Blue Zoggs is the best. Saying that, as with anywhere that surfers gather there is quite an active board market and it is often possible to buy or sell a board from/to a fellow traveler. I’ve noticed that whenever there’s a big swell and boards are being snapped, that 6’3 round pins are suddenly very valuable!!
Q- Are there any serious health concerns?
Richard- I know I’m always making comparisons but compared to Indo the Maldives is incredibly safe. The management is very strict with food and hygiene standards in the kitchens and water is bottled. The island has a mosquito control program and there’s no Malaria. Saying that, I’d still bring some insect repellant but there’s none of the Malaria paranoia you feel in the depths of Indo. The Hotel has an on island doctor, but he does much more reading than Doctoring! Safe as it is, I still recommend travel insurance. Another important point is to really look after any small cuts or reef scrapes. Even the smallest cut should be well cleaned and kept covered to reduce the risk of infection.
Q- Is it a good place to bring children?
Richard- It’s a small island with water pretty much everywhere so it’s both dangerous and a wonderful natural playground. I’ve had many guests bring their young children and thoroughly enjoy the experience. It’s so relaxing, and apparently there is always something on the buffet that’s good for kids… there’s some great shallow water snorkeling and “Nemo” and his friends appear everywhere! If you are traveling with children do have a back up plan just in case the weather dictates an indoor activity day and make sure your children are water-safe!
Q- Now then, the million dollar question…..How did you get the dream job, and is it the dream job?
Richard- Haha!! I get asked this every single day of the season!! For sure it’s the dream job! I’m living on a beautiful, Maldivian island and can surf every day. I wake up every day knowing that I’m incredibly lucky, though I’ve always said that we make our own luck. In the surf industry and the surf travel industry it really is a case of who, rather than what you know … and I just got very lucky!
The story goes…..I had been spending a lot of time in Indo, I did a bit of work on a boat, I got to know a few people, I met a friend of Jeff -the guy who was working at Lohi’s prior to me. He introduced us, Jeff was coming to NZ and he came to stay with me in Raglan. The next year I spent a month with him in the Maldives…we kept in touch, he hinted that he was getting burnt out and asked me if I’d be interested in taking over from him if he quit! Of course I was frothing!! The following year I was in El Salvador and I received an E-mail basically saying that I was good to go for the following season…Now I have just finished my second epic season!
Q- So that was it? No interview? No meeting?
Richard- Well I was trying to keep it brief! Look, Jeff had worked at Lohi’s for five years and had done a great job. I think that Shaun Levings ( owner of World Surfaris) trusted his opinion, which was lucky for me! We spoke on the phone and exchanged E-mails, but it was hard at first as from El Sal I went straight to Indo and jumped on a mates boat for a couple months, so I was out of contact for long periods of time and just hoping that I still had the job! In fact I didn’t meet Shaun until my first day at work! We surfed perfect Jails together and I managed to not drop in on him and we’ve got on pretty good ever since!
Q- Classic mate! Finally, I spent time with you at Lohi’s last year. You always seemed so positive and amped to surf every day. How do you maintain your enthusiasm over the entire season?
Richard- Thanks! I guess it’s important to remember that you are working and that even if you’re feeling surfed out and tired the guests who’ve just arrived are full of energy and want to surf as much as possible. I try to look at it through their eyes, which motivates me to make sure they get the best waves possible and have a memorable trip to Hudhuranfushi.

Anytime you go somewhere new on a surf trip there is always so much to explore, to discover, to enjoy. In many places the thrill of a surf trip is about the adventure of figuring it all out but the help of a knowledgeable, friend, local or in this case surf guide helps to make the transition a bit easier, especially when you are headed to the middle of the Indian Ocean.

Although surfing is a very fun filled activity and does seem quite easy to do when seen from afar, you need to keep some important points in mind before you hit the waves. Not following due precautions can be potentially dangerous in surfing and as you are riding huge waves, it is advisable to be very careful while surfing.

Man has always enjoyed grappling with and subduing the forces of nature. In most cases, such an encounter with the full force of rampaging nature leads to total destruction and chaos for humans, such as in the case of hurricanes and tsunamis. In some cases however, man has actually been able to control nature and use it for his own enjoyment and recreation; the prime example of this being surfing.
