Session 8, 9; Wilbur

Get this...there were waves...actually arguably very good waves...on Sunday...I was hanging out at home...not really doing anything...and...

I didn't surf.

Not even one wave! Been a while I think since I could say that. But, a Sunday off every now and then, is a good thing. Recharging the proverbial surf batteries, stoke, what have you...ready to go now, would be on it in a flash tomorrow morning if not for a dumb 9 am meeting. (Guess I could still go but that'd be a pretty rushed morning sesh, Wednesday it is). But Sunday, yeah, good waves, but just hung out, Selin made a dope breakfast, french toast with real maple syrup and strawberries, we went on a walk down the beach, hit a few shops on 41st (got a belt and a tshirt from the newly cleaned up thrift store), went back home, watched some TV, contemplated building a surfboard rack inside, didn't do that, watched some basketball, did some laundry (that wasn't very cool, should've surfed instead of that), contemplated building a surfboard rack inside (again), didn't do that (again), ate RiceaRoni for dinner... just a relaxing Sunday at home. Pretty nice.

Saturday I surfed though, twice, Joel came over and we went out earlier at 2nd peak/sewers (Joel at least)/38th. Surfed the 7'6 kingfish. Good waves, that board is a disaster to duckdive. Makes up for it though in catching waves. Got a couple good ones inside 2nd peak, caught one long one and went out and caught a few more at 38th. Fun. Later in the day Joel still hanging around, we biked over to the neighborhood beachy and had a peak to ourselves, sure, not the best peak around but it was fun, in honor of Wilbur we were schralping like mad. Surfed the 6'2 KG. Got some fun waves and some closeout beach deathbarrels as well, including one I took a bit too far and wound up eating some serious sand, lucky didn't break the ol' KG w/ that kind of foolishness. 

And speaking of Wilbur, Joel got me a SWEET signed Wilbur Kookmeyer best-of book, that's right, autographed: "Wilbur Rules! Bob Penuelas" Now if that doesn't get you stoked for some super shredding, I don't know what does.

And if you don't know who Wilbur Kookmeyer is, you should. 

And if you don't have a signed copy of The Best of Wilbur Kookmeyer Collector's Edition, well, you should get one. Now!

Thanks bro. Very nice of you. Wilbur Rules!

Wilbur Kookmeyer. (Or Joel, perfecting his new flying board somesalt leash twist kick out. Sick move bro, SCHRALP!)
