Make sure to scroll down for today’s other two photos…This particular shot is a self-portrait of yours truly and the Teahupo’o Tree in downtown SB. Ever since I first walked by this bush/tree I have pretended to surf it. It is the perfect, albeit very dry, “green room”. It walls right up and you can see all the way down the line, imagining your ride, and as you can see the barrel is big enough to fit a van… It’s almost always a stand-up barrel (unless the owners forget to trim it) and rarely is there anyone else in the line-up…quite rare around these parts. I walk past it often on my way into the mountains for a hike and I surf it every time, sometimes stalling in the barrel, shacked for an eternity, at other times running through before the close out. You can’t take yourself too seriously or you’ll wipe out and walk right by without chancing the ride, possibly without ever knowing you were so close to an epic barrel. Like in life, it is clearly good to be able to laugh at yourself and enjoy the ride.
