Hi Chip thanks for sharing your story, I think you can switch even this diagnosis with your outlook! If you vibe high enough to meet Ed how you did, you have more magic than you know!! I will be at Ohana too, hope to meet you and give you a hug...Peace and Love V
Hi Vicki - I appreciate the kind words and thanks! See you in a couple of weeks!
Thank you for sharing your story. It really put a smile on my face this afternoon. I will be at Ohana in a couple of weeks, hopefully see you there!
Thanks Conor! I am looking at the surf as we speak at Doheny on Surfline and can't wait. We are leaving Sunday and will be there all week. Looking forward to meeting and making some new friends at Ohana - Chip
One week before Ohana! Flying out tomorrow first thing out of Boston. Got a nice surf tune up this afternoon for Doheny with some post Humberto hurricane surf... Can't wait for a week of surf, sun, sand and music!!!
Good luck Chip, on the song and all things! It's a beautiful song and hopefully ed drops it in there for ya.
Thanks Jim! Love the song and couldn't think of a better one given the situation...getting ready to go surf Doheny this morning and can't wait to hit the beach.
Sending positive thoughts and energy your way for Long Road tonight!!!

Hi Everyone - Thanks for all of the positive vibes and kind words!!! The show, and week, were amazing. It was so nice for Julie and I to have a vacation together as it has been 2 years since our last one. I figured it was a long shot for the song request as its a short set list and different kind of show (you miss 100% of the shots you don't take... ). I guess surfing with Ed this week will have to make up for it...

Congrats on that! I'd say "sorry you didn't get your song" but it appears you far outdid that! Great to hear, bud!

Total dumb ass luck...the surf was crap most of the day and when it started to clean up at location X I decided to paddle out. When in doubt, paddle out!!!
Well friends; super disappointed that Ohana is postponed this year (but I get it). Looks like I have to kick Cancer's ass for another year... so I can see everyone on the beach!!! I don't post very often these days, but I am still fly fishing and surfing and just started a monthly maintenance shot after doing chemo for a year (feel good). Gigaton is my new workout soundtrack and I love the new album! I hope everyone stays safe and healthy and hope to be seeing live music soon.

Glad you are staying positive Chip and know you will be at the show in 2021!
Any fish pics?I did good early season. Almost like I knew what I was doing. Odd to be the dude catching the fish, on a fly I found tangled in a tree...tied to a fly I tied! Went the other day and local spot too warm/low already.
with this being postponed for a year, it may improve my chances of going. this just might be a good thing for me. i'd love to see ed and the band on the beach just once.

Nice fish!!! One piece of good news through this whole thing was that I was able to fish more and get out and explore new places. I don't have any pics on my laptop, but if you are on Instagram I have plenty there (given2flyfish). Went up North with the boys on Fathers Day and we got one fish each and lost a few (barbless hooks). Tight lines - Chip

Dream scenario for sure!!! If you can go I highly recommend it. I haven't had a lot of festival experience other than Ohana, but it's hard to beat for the scene, the vibes, the beach and the location...
Update - So it's hard to believe it's been 2 1/2 years since my
diagnosis. I did chemo for a year and have been getting monthly
injections for the past year and a half to keep everything knocked
down. I feel great and still working, surfing, playing lacrosse and
fly-fishing. We've been able to knock a few items off of the bucket
list (saw Orcas in Vancouver 2 years ago, surfed Waikiki this summer and
went cage diving with sharks in Hawaii). Julie and I are going to the
first Ohana weekend and can't wait!!! As I continue to check items off
the list I figured I would give this request another shot...See you at Ohana!!! Chip

Nice way to walk the long road.
Take it easy and get some fall trout. I'll try to do the same.
