Session 96 - June 22 - Hook

Sunday June 22, 5:30-7:30 PM, 6'8 Taylor

Looking for a repeat of yesterday hit up the same spot, swell had dropped though so couldn't offer up the same goods...still fun. And no driving, pedal power baby! Had a nice day taking it easy, slept in, had some cereal for breakfast w/ some fresh peaches in there too, Selin and I went to the flea market, made a stop at a garage sale on the way, person giving away free old wetsuits so grabbed one of those for the stash (size M ONeill, old but in good condition), a few houses down another garage sale, some sponsored surf gear goodies again on offer (for kids who grew up in this neighborhood, is it some kind of failure if you DON'T get some sort of surf sponsorship? Seems like there's a sponsored surf kid in every other house around here...good for getting surf stuff on the cheap, not so good for getting a wave at 1st peak), got a travel board bag which I hope to put to use very soon and also a rash guard and pair of boardies. The flea market was a real score as well, got a sweet old beach cruiser that got put to use right away this afternoon to ride around town and to the surf, got an electric power sander that also got put to use, got a SUPER SHAMMY magic towel thing, gardening gloves, pineapple shaped wooden bowl, little menehune wood carving man for the yard, a bag of oranges, and yeah a baked potato w/ all the fixins too! We made out like bandits at the flea market, glad that is still around and not replaced with hospital construction (yet). Got home and went for a bike ride, picked up some Moondoggies hot dogs from this dude's bike rig grill, rode around the neighborhood for a while checked some surf and some open houses, bought another rash guard from another neighborhood surf kid who had switched sponsors, came back home, finished almost fixing that darn 8'6 longboard (electric power sanding is amazing), and finally went for a surf. Wow that was quite a day's activity list!

Surf was smaller but still got some OK waves and did a good job working w/ what was there. Small waves aren't easy. Bedtime.
