My brother is one of those who went out and ran the Surf City Marathon this morning, and because of that I went to be there and support him as he came in to finish his 26.2 miles. Deciding to take advantage of the fact that I was already to be in Huntington Beach I brought the 5'8 RNF along for a little paddle out. I had known that because of the marathon PCH was going to be closed from Beach Boulevard to Warner Avenue, so I had this great idea to bring my bike along so I could bike in to Bolsa Chica and get some tasty waves all to myself, but timing didn't work out and I decided to just go out at Sunset Beach right near where I had parked. It was better than I had seen it in quite a while, but I was still left wishing for a little more size to the waves today. I caught a couple fun little waves, but today's outing really cemented in my mind my desire for a longboard to make the most of these little days. The fish is great, but sometimes you just need a little more board under your feet to get things going.
After my little surf session I headed over to the finish line and watched my brother and uncle finish up the marathon and half-marathon. Someday I will get my act together and finish a marathon...but not today. So after checking out the new community in Newport real quick we headed on over to Chronic Tacos for some grubbing. It was nice spending a day in my new turf. Watch out NB it's about to get gangsta up in here. Not a bad day...and all before the big game takes place. Too bad I am working instead of watching, but that's life.
Until next time...praying for surf.
