Randoi, Mikey

Randoi brought out his boogie board again. He paddled out with his grey fins and was able to pick out a nice wave going to the right. Randoi was on the face , moments ahead of the closing wave. Looked like something out of my magazines.

Mikey took out his 7" custom spyder that was given to him as a gift. The 6' beast went bareback in 55 degree water. He was going down 4 footers with no fear at all. I couldn't paddle out to see much of his action since I was again stuck trying to paddle out. Mikey ended up getting his 2 fingers cut up really bad under water. We got him patched up by the local lifeguard Jon, CSULB alumni, and decided it was best to end the day to prevent infection in Mikey's hands - but Mikey was still ready to go again. Beast.

On the way out back to Mikey's truck, Mikey was getting questions from everyone, about how we could stay in the water with just his board shorts on - the questions came from everyone including the lifeguard that said, "Man, isn't the water cold? You are brave". Mikey is a beast.

Nothing worth nothing for me again, just playing in the wash. I am having trouble paddling out, expect at San O. I will change my diet a bit and see if a boost in protein each day will help me this weekend.

My new XM leash wrapped around my neck like a noose under water today. I did a comparison of the length between the new XM leash and the old FCS leash, looks the same. Weird.

Randoi spotted a passing a sea lion. I mistook a seagull for a floating ghost.

Picked the California State Beach Annual Pass for year 2! Let us pray for a safe year.
