    Man I'd let her humiliate the sh!t outta me.

    Indeed I did, I was dumbfounded. Saw them first when I was putting my suite on, while it was still going off, and they left. Then by the time we got in and the wind switched and chopped it up, they were back and seemingly getting ready to paddle out. Strange times.

    Now that I'm thinking of it, that was the same day someone dropped a phantom duece right next to my truck tire. It was huge and made me start gagging.

    Santa Cruz, CA seems to have decent surf almost every day of the year. Water is cold (but not cold compared to where I live in the North East) and its a little sharky but in terms of consistently getting to surf I haven't seen anyplace more consistent.

    Man, the 3-4hrs I surfed there were so good, chest to head high and building throughout the session into the well overhead range and just clean as could be. I could live there for sure.

    id agree santa cruz is one of the most consistent places in california i have surfed, i make a point to spend at least 4 or 5 weeks there each year.

    As far as the most consistent place I have been personally, I think it would be Santa Teresa and Mal Pais in Costa rica. The locals said they have solid swell almost every day of the year, and its above head high for at least half that. Every morning and evening theres a glass off, and its pretty cheap livin'. I stayed there for about a month because the waves were too good to walk away from. Only thing is the quality is only about a 6 or 7 out of ten, rarely do you get heaving barrels mostly long liners.

    However if one were to divide there time between that and Pavones via a dirtbike with a surf rack.........

    A person who dwells within 30-60 minutes of the burgh of Seattle.

    Usually shows up to your local beach with 4-8 of their brethren in either a VW Westphalia, Audi, Jetta or Subaru plastered with surf stickers and cook bacon and eggs while posing in the parking lot.

    In the water, they are a unique hazard, ranging from stereotypical Hipsters to new age hippies, clueless trust fund 20- something's and middle aged retirees.

    Invariably, they have the most expensive gear and tend to dress according to the latest fashions derived from surfing and other "extreme sports" publications, and over 90% of them can be found wallowing in the end lines of soup that are typical of this particular area.

    It is frequently stated that if a person looks, dresses and acts like a stereotypical surfer in Washington state, he or she is most likely a Seattleite. If they look like a hungover logger or the Gorton's Fisherman, chances are that person is a surfing local.

    Ok, I'm gonna google "Hipster" but for the record, I didn't think there was anywhere worth going through all that trouble to surf in Washington. It's like 3 hours to the coast from Seattle isn't it? Just go skiing, yo.

    there are no waves in washington or oregon. just mushy close outs that are never worth the drive. plus theres too many sharks, and you always have to wear a 5 mil year round. locals are crazy, and open carry laws are very open. outta state plates usually get shot, sometimes more then just the plates. Not worth it.

    Westphalia.......funny you should bring this up. On rt 1 here on seacoast NH, there appears to be someone who has started buying, repairing ans selling them. There are 3 of them on his lawn all with "for sale" signs. Lots of Hollister wearing Masshole youths looking at them--the "new" generation of surfers, until the next "extreme" fad enters their life.

    ps...at first, I thought it was some sort of West coast phallic symbol, but then I remembered, ah yes......Volkswagon fahrfehrnugen??

    Kinda the new "extreme" status symbol. They are becoming super valuable, even the water-cooled ones. I'd love to get my hands on one to fix it up and flip it for good $$$, but I'm afraid i'd probably try to keep it instead. Convertible tops don't last real long out here.

    Most consistent surf in the world is Indo.
    But moving there full time would be a challenge. I've never met an American that didn't have to come home after a month or two with some infection, sickness, or other ailment.
    I'd love to spend month there a year though.

    I had heard there was this place in Oregon called seaside that had waves, but since you guys said there's no waves in Oregon I guess I'll just stick with Rhode Island.

    few more fire seasons state side and thats the plan. ladys gonna study abroad in oz, im gonna do a fire season there down undah (double dip because there summer is our winter). Ill make sure to save at least 20 grand and get lost in indo for as long as possible, most likely until i die of staph, get executed for hash or run out of cash.

    this year its a toss up between peru/chili, back to central America starting in Nica, or Mexico depending on how much cash I make and swell conditions. Definitely be some tactical swell missions to Hawaii in there too,

    you know theres quite a few ppl who live in these fugged up abroad places just so they can surf perfect waves everyday.

    Mikala jones lives in indo,he's Hawaiian btw,and rips.
    brian conley lives in mexico,will Dillon lives in mexico..i know theres a lot more but that's all i can think of at the moment....taj burrows parents are American but moved to west oz to surf,wouldnt quite call it a fugged up place but people are always moving for the waves
