One Love

Rockin' at Peaks on Ali's boat, "Wee Bee Stylin'." As always, good times at Peaks. How long til Memorial Day?

"One Love, One Heart
Let's get together and feel all right"

Not A Good Go

Of course not, Ken's in town. So you know what that means... I won't catch anything. Actually had one decent ride, but that's about it.

Then he asks me when I'm going to Florida--insinuating that it's time for a haircut.

"Word To Ya Mutha".

Did a rehab this morning. Cleared for action. I didn't know I had a scheduled start. Let me tell you one thing. If your gonna surf in the morning...you can't stay out to 2:00 the night before.
Word To Your Mother.

Trying To Avoid The DL

There were some nice waves last night and this morning. Unfortunately, I messed up my back pretty good. Was bedridden all day yesterday and am on a healthy dose of ibuprofen, ben gay, and a mix of heat and ice. Next on the list--acupuncture or Reiki.

Feeling much better today. Well I'm moving around anyway. Hopefully I'll be back in action tomorrow. Like I said...anything to avoid being placed on the DL.

Woody Skimboard

My Victoria "Woody" came UPS today. Out of the box and time for a test ride. It was high tide, not ideal conditions. What a difference having the proper equipment makes. So I was cruising down the bank and into the waves. Even doing 180's--not by choice. Got rocked a few times--more than a few. I think I'll do alright at low tide--provided of course there are no waves. Tweaked my back real good on one spill!

Clustered & Flustered

The paddle out was brutal. At one point my leash was so entwined with seaweed that I wasn't even moving. I was about to give up and call it a day, but forged ahead. Finally, I got out to the lineup. The whole Higgins gang was talking about where they surfed yesterday at the Ube (OOB)--Union, 5th, 11th...

It was so crowded with boogie boarders, stand up paddlers, etc there was hardly room to breath. One SUP guy was right next to me and starts to paddle right for my board then rolls his eyes as he misses the wave 'cause I'm in the way. Come on! I had enough. Caught one wave in and called it quits. Just way too congested.

It's good though. You need a session like that to cut you down in size.

Surfers Delight

There have been surfers in the water since 6:30 this morning and there is still one guy out there. Nice off-shore winds all day long. Tonight's session was fun. A lot of slow peelers!

I am exhausted. Big Wave is gonna sleep like a baby tonight. Looks like tomorrow is gonna be good too. Over and out!
