Hampus Naeselius doesn’t surf
Hampus Naeselius is a Swedish composer living on the island of Mallorca in the Mediterranean where he creates music for film and visual media. His music has been featured in both licensing, TV spots, trailers, advertising and films.
Born in Stockholm music was part of growing up. Pink Floyd and more specifically the song ‘Sorrow’ became the start of creating his own music. Hampus music embodies classical tradition with sweeping spaces of rhythm and sound. IMDb Mini Biography
Hampus doesn’t surf. But what he has done, unknowingly, is put down what is a perfect three minute track for a massive session at Jaws a couple of days after the Eddie finished. Seriously, some of the track overlays are so precise with the vision it was like they were meant for each other.
So turn it up to full bore .. show your neighbours no mercy.
Well, here we are … 2022 done, 2023 tomorrow.
1,031 posts done since 2010, many of them lifted from Realsurf, more from Kurungabaa, five books produced despite the language and brutal subjects. Readers come and go. Times change. Surfers aged twenty in ‘64 approach 79 in ‘23.
Old friends in the earth, old places overcome, gravel roads now highways and everybody surfs.
But it’s all good because riding a wave is about the best thing a man or woman can do.
Happy New Year, and always pray for surf.

The Chinese Way ..
Confucius described old age as a “good and pleasant thing” which caused you to be “gently shouldered off the stage, but given a comfortable front stall as spectator.” This honorable sentiment paints a melancholic image of how senior citizens should be treated, given peace in their twilight years while able to freely dispense their wisdom to younger generations.
Saturday 22 Oct 2022. Former Chinese President Hu Jintao is gently shouldered off the stage during the closing ceremony of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in Beijing.
