Catch Up Surf Reports

Make up time. It's been a while since my last post. Work pulled the plug on accessing blogs. I will have to look back at these one day and hope that I remember these days. They were all fun.

Bolsa Chica - Friday.....

Han Solo. I nearly drowned today. I hate going alone.

RAT Beach - Saturday....

Ryan, Kev, and I finally made it to the infamous RAT Beach. It was amazing. First day on Randy's short board for me. Ryan had a kick ass day. Kev was out trying to go off the lip all day.

Bolsa Chica - Sunday....

Randy. Randy to out his new used shortboard the Webber Fatburner out. He had a lot of fun and had a near drowing experience. Good thing we talked about how it happened to me a few weeks prior. Randy used the same thought process of, "Don't panic, let the wave go over you, and then float". Good job bro.

Trestles - Sunday

No ear plugs. Kev and I met up in the morning and had a fun time. I went out a second time with Jeric! Jeric and I had a near accident and decided to call it a day.

Jeric I have your hanger and box.

Sunset - Monday

Kuya John, Randy, Ryan, and Jon-Aye. One hell of a day at Sunset. Kuya John showed us how to rip it up on a shortboard. The man has skills. Randy had fun out on his shortboard, still getting winded.

Ryan was using the Al Merrick and showing us a good show as always! Jonathan's out there paddling strong and getting the hang of the Al Merrick quickly!

This was a good day. The only bad thing was that my ear infection started to kick in.

Ah, never mind, double bogey. I broke my center fin and plug again riding the board back into the beach.

Bolsa Chica - Saturday

Dex. Dex is back in the water. He had gone the weekend before with Kev and crew. Dex picked up 2 boards from a friend in San Clemente. We were out in the water for 3 hours today. Dex was able to get strong paddling on the new magical board. The new board is about the size of the Blaster. Dex was able to catch some waves out there today and had plenty of time to practice.

I had to use Randy's Fatburner. Bad news again, triple bogey, I broke Randy's center fin.

Not to worry though. I got my longboard fixed and picked up replacement fins for both my and Randy's boards. Cost me $55 at Becker. The team at Becker in Hermosa Beach are the best. I appreciate Becker fixing my board twice.

My ear infection has not healed I have had it since Memorial Weekend. Took it to my trip to Vegas and Florida. Going this past weekend to Bolsa Chica made it worse. Was it worth it? When I was surfing Yes. When I went back to work, no. I was out 3 days this week and now am paying for it by being placed on lock down by J.

Love hurts.
