Let's Catch Up

It's been tough for me to get on my computer....Srpski's Skyping and all.  Last post second session...caught a nice backside trim and that was it, but it was a backside trim.

Went out a couple of days ago and did nothing 'cause the waves had no joules. I mean I stood up, but did nothing. Then I went to Higgins at night and did the same thing. Stood up and did nothing. I'm still trying to figure this board out and I think it all came together in a dream.

Went out today with Glenn. He had a nice little session. We caught a party wave which was cool. Then I hit a really nice wave where I did a C-like motion with my hand in front of me on the water. A big (slow motion) arcing turn. Glenn dropped his board on the walk home. Hopefully he gets it fixed in time as there should be nice waves for the weekend.

Sorry for the delay in posting.  Hey, I'm a surfer!

Yeah Boy

For the past two days I went out and test drove the Ferrari. They were perfect days for a nice test run. Small little, nothing days. I was getting used to the paddling which is fast.  Today we have real waves and I rocked the first wave. I mean I rocked it like never before. This board has action. On my last one I was down real low during the pop-up going through turbulence. I emerged on the other side and worked the wave. I'm getting ready for the afternoon session--I can't wait.

Ready To Rock

I picked up my waterhog yesterday and I'm ready to rock. Even the people at the shop were super-stoked about this board. It has some pretty mean rocker. I don't know how that translates to the waves, but I will let you know. The waterhog is described as just that a water hog with ability to rock in waves from 2ft - 9ft.

Watch Out

"I'm telling you a true story,
only the names have been changed,
to protect the guilty..."
There was a big crowd out there tonight. Yeah the wave hog was out there. I didn't venture into the lineup. Instead I carved out  my own little niche. I caught a nice little backside--trimmed, and worked the wave.

Anyway..I've got a new board coming in next week....A WATER HOG.  Watch out. Once I get this board, I'll put all the hogs and silver monkey's in their place.

Surfing Srpskis

Nevena and Jelena went surfing today. They killed it. Now they are chilling like true surfers. I hope they will never forget their 2013 summer excursion. I know I will always remember it! They finished their session with a party wave (Nevena on the left, Jelena aka JJ on the right).  Good Job Girls!!!

Day Two

Hit it again yesterday. Caught a nice one out of the gate--actually did a bottom turn and dragged my hand on the wave. Unfortunately, I couldn't turn it back down to really rock the wave.   Two days ago, I struggled putting on my wetsuit (it's been so long), I was sweating bullets before I even left my house.

Yesterday the changing process was much smoother. After the session I had a terrible rash on my neck. I guess I should've worn my rash guard. They call it a rash guard for a reason.

Waiting On A Friend

"I'm not waiting on a lady,

I'm just waiting on a friend"

I caught up with an old friend today and it was beautiful. We've certainly lost touch over the summer, but I'm happy to say...I went surfing today. It was tough and I'm definitely out of practice yet I still had the time of my life.  "It's just like starting over"
