stormy

The wind was howling early and rain was emminent. You could see the squall line offshore.At the Pismo pier 2 guys on sponges were trying to belly-ride the storm surf. It will rain off and on all day, so staying dry at the H2O tourney will be a challenge.

New year,different pier

I found myself at the Pismo pier today. We are in central-Cal for a waterpolo tourney. The surf looked sort of fun today , all longboards, and hoods and booties seem to be the uniform of choice. On the way up yesterday everywhere was pretty small but it`s picked up today as the rain approaches. It should be a blown mess by this afternoon.

Happy New Year

It was a beautiful day to start off the year, nice and warm. Surf was pretty weak but a great day just the same. Spent the morning taking down Christmas lights and the afternoon watching SC game with friends

Years end

Today is a beautiful day at the beach, it`s finally warmed up a bit and people are out biking, walking dogs , or just sitting in the sun. Perfect Chamber of Commerce weather for the Rose Parade tomorrow. The surf is so-so , chest high and a little slow but how can I resist. Enjoy your nice days when you get them. Plenty of guys in the water, the black-rubber brotherhood is spread thickly from Blackies to Bolsa Chica. I managed to squeeze my post-holiday gut into my suit without blowing the zipper and joined them for awhile this morning. Nothing great but a few nice drops and a turn or two is all I need to make it worthwhile. A wonderful way to wind up the year!

Blessings

This is the last Sunday of 2007 . I did my surf check in a coat and tie, as I helped with Communion services at church today. Year end always gives us the chance to look back and be thankful for our blessings, and look to the promise of tomorrow. With God as my guide the future looks bright.

Nice lunch

This week seems to be suffering from the Holiday hangover, it`s kind of broken. I got the guys working but had a hard time getting into the right frame of mind to be effective. It was realy pretty cold today so I waited for the tide to drop and the sun to rise before surfing. The water dropped to 54-55 degrees last night. HB was the place again and I had a fun hour go-out.

Late present

I had a hard time getting back into the work mode, checked Blackies early to find it thigh high while HB was head-high+. I got the job going and then told the guys I had "something else to do". The high tide didn`t stop the south side from being pretty good and I spent a nice lunch hour getting some exercise,aqua-therapy, on a warm, sunny day. A late Christmas present....

Merry Christmas

God graced us with a beautiful Morning! Truly a California Christmas , with warm skies and offshore winds. I spent the morning with my family and then surfed with a good friend at Blackies. Now I`m off for prime rib and more family Christmas.Count our blessings!
