Here is a good trick or treat…

…being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see…

Better than coffee!

Drove by this spot on a surf check last night and just had to get in and pick off a few of these beauties…hope you are making the most of this swell. I’m down to surf whenever, wherever and with whoever…so call me if you want to cruise. 310.525.4227. Or more importantly feel free to call me if you need prayer or want to talk about God, your faith, my faith or if you just need a friend, or advice…I’m far from wise, but I got your back!

Lots of wind and lots of surf, lots of fun and lots of sun. Get it before if goes away!

God is Great! What a beautiful day to give thanks and praise! Got in at o’dark:30, the stars were bright, the air: clear and sweet, and the chest-high rollers were glassy and far from consistent but fun. Cold feet, warm smiles, good times. Second sesh this pm if anyone wants to cruise…

Checked it early this morning…but the tide was killing it…but time will do its thing, the tide will fall and the walls will rise…and surf will be had by all! Have an awesome day!

Found some waves today…and some goats. Turns out these goats can surf better than you or me, and can actually hang twenty…ok, maybe not, but they sure were cool.

Get right! Took this photo with the burst function of my iphone camera…it takes 16 photos in a second and though the format is weird and the resolution sucks, it is still a fun little thing to play with…This kid needs to be sponsored, so help him out with your connections and I promise great great things to whoever decides he is worthy…cause he is beyond good.

Took three photos with my iphone and it put tem together for me…fancy! Next thing you know, the iphone will be doing my surfing for me…

A crazy idea…helped Spencer glue up an alaia blank the other day…fun to play with wood and glue and tablesaws and creativity…sorry for the awful photo quality!

So many tears falling from the heavens today…

Think about how hard we all try to get shacked all the time and then realize that it’s just surf and that the shackless, homeless, and folks on the street try harder than any of us for a little shackage, shelter or coverup…It rained last night, complete with thunder and lightning, and I bet that just about everyone reading this blog had a roof over their head. I say this because I need to be reminded of my priorities now and then, and figure you do to. Give thanks and praise for the things you have, but do not let them define you…give them away freely and you will be blessed. Let your compassion define you instead and help a friend get shacked!

Found a fun-filled morning a few clicks north of here last Saturday. Pulled a solo mission to meet up with some folks but did not complete that mission objective… I did, however, end up finding some unexpected old friends…for triple bonus points! The crowd filled in with the morning light and by mid-day it was packed–most people were just bobbing around like buoys and the waves were there for the taking. The wind stayed away and the glassy sets kept rolling in. Finished off the session with a burger and capped of the morning with a siesta….NICE!

Two of my favorite barns…

This has got to be one of my favorite vistas…

…is where you find it….

The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit. -John 3:8

Found a little somethin’ this morning…though I should of headed north to Jalama with some of you folks. Next time!

I got to hang Ten ten ten on 10/10/10…

Surf check 101!

You know it’s been good when you have this many suits drying!

Came upon this scene while checking for some waves…
