Playing Hookie

I slipped out of work for a couple of hours today (with permission) to go slide some waves. The report looked pretty fun with with glassy waist-high walls, but by the time I hit the water the sea breeze had kicked up a little out of the S, which is predictable this time of year. I went to the South End of WB, which probably wasn't the right call, and it was closing out pretty bad on the sandbar. Still, I got out and played in the ocean for almost an hour on a pretty day when I was supposed to be at work, so life could be a lot worse.

Anticipation

I'm meeting my boy Pete for dawn patrol in the morning after a couple weeks of no surf. Buoys are ESE 3' @ 9 seconds, wind light onshore, tide low at 8:25. It won't be spectacular, but I'm hoping for a few fun waves on the log. If all else fails, I'll at least get to chew the fat with my buddy and have a cup of coffee while we watch the sunrise, and that's alright too. Cheers.

Sweet New Header

Check out the my artsy new blog header, courtesy of my best pal Pete (the Surfbrarian). I think it's pretty cool. I might throw a little color in there. It's definately better than the plain old generic deal I had before. Thanks Pete.
