Progress Report

Update #7 · May 14, 2012 · comment
It’s been an eventful few months for the EOS project -- some joy, a
few tears, lots of hard work -- here’s an overdue update to you, our
supporters. First and foremost, we finally have a beta version of the
site. It was delivered just last week, and we’re busily getting our
hands dirty tinkering around under the hood, getting to know the inner
workings of the system. We’ve also been plugging away at new video
clips, with a couple hundred in the bank, and have brought in a new
member to the team, Patrick Hourihan, who is no doubt digitally
splicing together video segments even at this very moment. New entries
to the EOS continue to be written everyday, as we catch up on a decade
of surf history since the last print EOS was released. We’ve even been
holding official, legal EOS board meetings, and have voted in a board
of directors for the non-profit corporation. If you haven’t already,
check out our EOS facebook page --
http://www.facebook.com/encyclopediaofsurfing -- it’s a just a small
taste of what’s to come when the EOS finally leaves the dock.

Thanks again, see you online,

Matt and Justin
