You've come a long way since the ping pong tournaments at DYC :) Congratulations. I've read some of your work and watched a few of your videos. You've put the work in to learn your craft and it shows.
This is "Elizabeth City." I just wanted to let you know that your lecture today was wonderful, and I can't wait to be a part of the osprey lecture. I'm actually a theatre major, so I love acting. On a side note, your video here is great. It's quirky, and it really speaks to those who don't really feel like they belong. Thanks so much!
PLEASE DON'T READ THIS. You will get kissed on the nearest possible Friday by the love of your life. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life. However, if you don't post this comment to at least 3 videos, you will die within 2 days. Copy and paste this, to be saved. ...i just dont like to run the risk
I have never been so wildly inspired, so transformed, so mutated, so walk-this-way blown out of the proverbial water. YOU are a force. You are nature itself. Thank you for being who and what you are.
Did he say, "Big Wierdo", or "Bafoon"?? Anyway, he thinks he's a big wierdo, that lady on the beach talks to dogs!! Looks like the whole area's gone goofy!
I am sure there's a guy somewhere in Finland or Sweeden who would love to engage in some sort of exchange program. Just make sure it includes a wife swap and beer if he's Sweedish!
A strange and moving essay. I love how this moves from the bizarre and hilarious beach-skiing to saying about what it means to feel at home in a place, and a life. Great work.
David,

You only do classic? Can you do skate style on sand? Does it ruin the skis?

Does the sand have to be wet? I hope you didn't waste too much money on HF wax. ;)

Dear Professor Gessner,
I have never been so wildly inspired, so transformed, so mutated, so walk-this-way blown out of the proverbial water. YOU are a force. You are nature itself. Thank you for being who and what you are.
Also, be careful...don't skin a knee or anything!

this is a fantastic video. i feel equally geographically displaced and there is no end in site with the trajectory my wife and i are on.
a question for mr. gessner (or anyone that knows:) what was the response, result, or update regarding "a letter to a neighbor".
was that an actual letter or just a vehicle to summarize your feeling about the cape's (and our societies" movement towards massive intrusive housing?

Mr. Gessner,
You're a true inspiration for all of us that are migratorially misplaced by the strange economy our species abides by.
Don't ever stop "skiing the beach".
