Mocked

Went surfing in Longboat Key. Look on a map there is no name for this beach. I'm calling it Point Dave. I don't think anyone has ever surfed here--it's a closed off beach with a bunch of silverbacks. The waves didn't have any umph. Then out of nowhere a dolphin starts taunting me and rides a wave in right next to me. I'm serious. After a long while....I finally caught a couple.

This was the 25th place I've been surfing (or in the water with a board). Trivia to my avid readers. See if you can name all 25 spots. There will be a prize to the first person to answer correctly.

Off to Baltimore. Time to get stoooooooopid!!!!

    Surf's up in OOB today!! The surfers are out there!!!

    Can't name all 25. My slow brain can't crack your code. Sometimes you talk about surfing that day, but don't name the beach, or you say two names, and it's not clear if one is the town and the other the beach in that town, or if you surfed on that town's beach then hit another beach by the name stated. Some spots it's not clear if you surfed (or at least touched the water when board was with you, or if you were just sightseeing. )Spots in CA and HI were difficult to sort out. ME spots I'm familiar with, but some are ends of streets on the same beach. My count of separate so-called beaches comes to about 30, separate spots over 40. If you mean just spots on this current trip, I can't count 25.
