January 3rd, 2012 marked the tenth anniversary of the death of surfing legend, Miki Dora.

Before he died, Miki's friend, Steven Taussig, told Miki that he was thinking of acquiring the MikiDora.Com web address so it couldn't be exploited by someone Miki didn't know or approve of. Miki thought about it for a moment and asked Steven to make the arrangements ASAP.

Having kept this iconic web address for the past twelve years, Steven feels it's now time to enable MikiDora.Com to develop into a permanent online record of his friend's adventure filled life, including stories, photos, artwork, documents, rare memorabilia, tributes and comments from those who knew Miki.

To help achieve this, Steven has asked longtime surfing journalist, Bob Feigel, to act as creative director of the project.

Steven and Bob plan to share an important announcement about the future of MikiDora.Com in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, we invite you to visit Bob's tribute to Miki on Surfwriter.net: In Celebration of An Artist and His Art .
