this is a translation of article. and it's not short. could you help me? I really need it. thank you since 2001, I had specialized in / majored in scupture of formative arts for 7 years in US. the place I had lived was in Nebraska which is in the middle of US. Although it took 3 hours by car to go to California which is famous place for surfing. But I had visited there for every year. I saw the people who surfed the waves for the first time when I even didn't know the word 'surfing'. Because it was the moment /period I was seaching for something I could be inspired as a sculptor, I was absorbed by the culture of surfing very quickly and deeply and even I lost track of time because I had sightseeing / window shopping surfing board in famous shops of California. after I went back to Korea, I was keep doing my art for 3 years, and then I just thought I want to try something which doesn't exist in Korea, Summer in 2008 I just tried making a surfing board without any knowledge. because surfing board isn't the thing anybody can make easily, I collected imformations from companies of surfing board, shaping communities, or I sent email to famous shaper and be answered if I found a problem that I couldn't fix. I made the first surfing board for/during 1 month. It was hard to maintain/continue the life as an artist. so I taught english to children and I opened this studio 4 years ago. and first time I‘ve started selling my surfing board was just 7 months ago.
