Sideshore






Looked fun when I got home from work, but I still can't crack it. Not getting in the water much. Tomorrow should be really fun, no excuses in the morning.

More Rain

Definitely some swell in the water, but the wind made it look ugly this morning. I doubt that I would have been able to rally anyway... Lazy Monday. It's on tomorrow, I have a feeling it might be pretty good, maybe I'll go pick up a new wetsuit for that one.

Rain Rain

It's back and it looks pretty sloppy out there. Not worth a go. AA gave me a call to see I would rally just before storm, but I'm not into it after the sessions that me and Argyle got yesterday.

Round 2

Some pretty crazy barrels just before the storm got here. I have never seen the direction of the swell change like it did today over a few hours. The second session was pushing up the beach from the south about as fast as I have ever seen it. In at crans out at 45th. Anyway, the crew hooked up some sick ones. Argyle art boy turned it up with a wicked muscled out backhand hack right in front of me. I hooked in some serious travel time out of the elements but didn't happen to come out of any of them, however these were real jet engines, pretty nutty ones. A little crazy but a little plane came flying by as low as I have ever seen one. It cranked a cutty at hammerland and headed back to PV. Also, about at the same time, 4 massive heli's rolled right at Catalina, directly where the storm was coming from, for a second I thought they were going to take out the little plane. A damn good day of surf without a crowd. Offshore all day, I need more like that. I can feel the skills coming back with the repetition. The Tank Wrangler was out, good to see him, he scored some bombs.

Redeeming himself...

Waves were good. Got a couple of barrels that I did not come out of. The good thing that I have to report is that vagina boy got a couple of sick barrels. While, it is not full redemption, he is doing his part to come back from the incident that coined his name. I think full redemption will only come after he confronts the nemesis waitress regarding the seriousness of this issue.

I had a couple of good-shaped waves that I was able to open up on, but I admit, I saw better waves than I caught. Argyle art boy got a few really good waves with but ran out of steam early as his coffee habit got the best of him. Time to fuel up and get back out there. Alligator arms or AA as we like to affectionately call him, was pushing his standard aggressive tude but rocking a lumber jack beard to back it up. Good to surf with your bros. I looks like the weather may hold just long enough to get a second session in - it might be offshore all day.

Looking fun out there... Finally

Between storms, we are getting a reprieve... Going to have to get a coupla. Had a few beers last night so it will be a little slow going this morning. But something happened last night that made it all worth while. The waitress called my friend who left the bar after having 3 beers, a vagina. The dude knows how to turn it up, but no amount of drinking can ever reverse the fact that the waitress asked, "where'd your vagina friend go? He had like 3 beers, what he can't hang?" Classic.

Another rainy day...

Waves actually did not look so bad this morning, but I'm sure there was plenty of hep floating around out there. Off shore, but still a little bumpy on the surface.

The simple fact is that there is not enough time to surf, there are too many people in the water, it is a pain in the ass, yet I constantly rearrange my life to get another hour of waves.

The problem is that it has been raining and I have been sick. I'm falling out of surf shape pretty quick and it is depressing. I'm going to, as always fight my way back into shape, get a "couple a", which is aussie for a couple of waves. It is funny what a solid cracks above the lip will do for you...

First Blog

First time I'm blogging. I'm going to use this to discuss things from surf to the stock market. Welcome to my world! This is a borrowed board... Insane board terrible fin setup. You know how I go.
