Pow-Wow

Hit a Pow-Wow today. It was quite an experience--dancing, drumming, music, storytelling...
After the Pow-Wow there was a concert by Grammy Award Nominee & Winner, Joseph Firecrow. This guy was amazing.

Also picked up a mean rattle!!!

Nice...So Nice

Ah, the water is so nice. Next time out will probably be in boardshorts. That only happened once last year. Caught a bunch of waves, but had two really nice ones. It's fun when you have to turn to continue rolling down the wave. On my last ride I was cruising in and there were 3 young girls in the water. I was headed straight toward them. All I could see was the whites of their eyes (huge). I nonchalantly cut to the left. They let out a huge sigh of relief and then started giggling--as young girls do.

Late Arrival

Had my sickest ride yet. It was like I was suspended in mid-air...flying. I was the only one out there to boot. There are a bunch of guys out there right now. Um....a little too late folks.

On my way in, a guy said to me, "you make it look so easy." Little does he know, I struggle for each and every wave.

Should be low tide again at 5:49. Let's hope for some more action.

It Was A Good Day

Any day there are waves it's a good day. Didn't look like much but I had to hit it. "I like 'em big and I like 'em small." I really need to figure out the kick out though 'cause the last few times out I've had to meander around little children in the water. At least I now have the confidence and ability to do that. When I end my ride, I am doing some funkcy stuff to make sure my board comes nowhere close to the kids--this is where the kick out would help a great deal.

I know the posts have been few and far between but so have the waves.
Peace!

Off The Shelf

Picked up this bad boy about 11 years ago as a decoration. Gotta like the Hawaiian Hibiscus. Saw a bunch of kids skimboarding so I decided to pull it off the shelf. All waxed up and ready to go. I had two young kids helping me out. I managed a few rides for maybe a millisecond. Had a sweet wipeout where I only landed one foot on the board and went flying.

Just waiting for the waves.

Sumthin' Outta Nuthin'

Too nice to just hang around today. I see about 7 people tryin to surf. I mean there are no waves. Maybe I'm just getting greedy. No there's really nuthin'. Worst case, I'll go out and paddle around. Well long story short...I made sumthin' outta nuthin'.

Crash

My computer crashed and there really hasn't been anything to report on. Since the surfmobile has departed there has been nothing in site. Last week I had strawberries and cream during the Wimbledon Finals. I have been watching Wimbledon since I was a little kid, but never had the traditional Wimbledon snack. I have to thank Rebecca for this experience.

Even if there had been waves, do you think I could compete with this doll I met on the 4th of July?

Given the absence of waves, I've decided to celebrate the 4th of July for the entire week--very patriotic on my part!!!
