Ebb and Flow ers 6·4·10

Found a little south swell down south…the summer doldrums are here and are echoed in my heart beat sounding like dull drums…no excitement here, no headhigh and glassy…but warm water and fog…force us to the logs…the ebb and flow ers of summer!

Reality 5·24·10

Nothing seems quite real on the garden isle…everything’s a little too right on, too green, a little too sweet, a little too glassy and head high, a little too perfect…even the murals seem to melt into reality and back.

Not a bad place to be… 5·22·10

We surfed into the late evening last night…sunset was ridiculous and though it was crazy offshore and pretty much blown out everywhere, we found a not-too-crowded left point break that was beautiful and it even got glassy as the day ended with a sunset splash of colors into the ocean…FUN.

The International Harvester Scout 5·08·10

doldrums 11·03·09

No surf means being able to scan old and not-so-old photos…and then realizing you spend way too much time updating your blog and should instead be driving to Mexico where there is undoubtedly big uncrowded surf.
