This is Scott having a blast in 18-inch surf on a G-Mat crafted by Graeme Webster.

Another long break between updates, but no news is good news. Yesterday, Scott had an MRI of his head to rule out any pituitary tumors. We should get the results tomorrow.

Scott has really enjoyed getting back to normal life. Recently we were reflecting on all we've been through over the last eight months and he said, "I'm just so grateful right now. I just did not imagine eight months ago that I would be doing what I'm doing today." And he's been doing a lot. He's back to working part-time, gardening full-time and surfing a ton. We also just had a super-fun spring break with Scott's sister and our nephew. Addison likes to go, go, go so we went, went, went to the beach, hiking and to SeaWorld.

Scott was also interviewed recently for a great UK-based surf website (www.ukmatsurfers.com). During his chemo and post-surgery fog, Scott said it was hard to imagine being able to write again. But he got a great opportunity to express himself through this interview. He did most of it in waiting rooms, and as you'll see by the length of the piece, we did a lot of waitin'. California surf legend/scribe Ken McKnight nicely captures Scott in his intro. We are so grateful to Ken and hilarious Englishman/mat maker Graeme Webster, who runs the site. Scott also wants to thank cinematographer Tim Ciasto for sharing his talents (and the wave featured in the video short!)

Ken McKnight in the sweet spot — and aiming for Peter St. Pierre!
