Summer is HERE!!!!

Summer announced itself in my world today when for the first time of the season I got a chance to paddleout with not wettie. I got so stoked to trunk it for the first time of the summer that it didn't even matter that the ocean was not producing the waves I was hoping for. Either way the session was pretty fun until that stupid yellow flag with a big black dot on it came out.

That has to be one of the things that really kills a summer surf session. I see that flag up and feel like a pirate who just got the black dot and realizes its over.... What is it about blackballing a section of the beach that they always choose the portion where the waves are breaking the best. Oh well, its the predicament that OC surfers are destined to deal with, that's why we must make those early treks to join the dawn patrol or wait until its too big for the swimmers and just right for us.

Having this trunked session here at the end of June gives hope as we go into July and August. I don't want to see a wetsuit again until September, but maybe that is a little too hopeful. Here is hoping for warm water and a great tan ;-).

Until next time...praying for surf.
