Vineyard surf

My name is Alex Guest and I live on  Martha's Vineyard where I was born and raised my whole life.My hobbies are Kite boarding, Surfing, fishing, swimming, sailing, and golf. I attended School at the Martha's vineyard Regional High school which is one main high school derived from all the towns elementary schools on the island. I swam for my high school swim team and was captain for 2 years, played lacrosse and golf for my school with swimming. I currently do not play any sports for Nichols college. I am a international business major and a criminal justice minor. I am a volunteer firefighter for my hometown of Edgartown in which I've been part of the department for the past 3 years.
My past work experience is at Edgartown Golf Course for the past  5 years and Vineyard Vines for a season.
I am a freshman with a major in International Business who plans to develop my own company one day.In this course I hope to learn more about blogging in general considering Ive never blogged before.  I also hope to learn more about movie maker and excel. This class will help me to gain computer software knowledge and understand the Blogging world. I believe that this class will help me to better understand the social media world as it has evolved to be a major influence on society today.








This Blog I found to be very interesting to me because I love surfing and have an avid passion to be out  on the water.This blog is about the Final Oakley Pro Junior challenge Qualifier in France which contains some of the worlds  youngest world surfers under the age of 21. The world renowned Oakley Pro junior Global challenge is a extremely challenging event to see who is the best of the best. I know this is a credible blog because I found this on surfing magazine which is a popular surfing blog spot and news in the surfing world. This is a truly awesome surf challenge event that draws thousands of people from all over the globe to spectate. surfing for me is a way to get away from the world and just be one with the water. Ive been surfing for about 5 years where I have gone to Puerto Rico to the surfing capital  Called Rincon as well as sunset beach Hawaii. Growing up on an island really influences you to always be out on the water either paddle boarding, swimming, kiteboarding, surfing, and body boarding. Surfing for me is a way of life that many can relate to all over the world.

  1. Hey Alex! I found this blog to be very insightful. I learned how life on the Island is very different from how I live life. I learned that the water influences life a lot for people who live on the island. Most activities involve the water in some way. Also he gets to do out of the ordinary things like kite surfing and paddle boarding. I hope to visit alex and get a real experience of the Island. I envy alex a lot because he works at one of my favorite stores Vineyard Vines and the only time i can shop there is when i visit Boston and that stinks because I only go there once a year if that.

  2. Hey, I have been Vineyard and it really cool there. I found your blog very interesting. I learn things that I did not have time to learn when I visited. I always wanted to learn how to surf maybe one day I will visit again and maybe you will teach me some of your surf moves.
