    The only surf-related thing I can't wait for is shedding the wetsuit and trunking it. The joy of that is almost negated by the crowds/kooks/swimmers of summer though. Outside of surfing, I'm stoked for the summer weather and BBQs. :)

    Going to Costa Rica. Taking my wife and two daughters. The girls will be psyched over all the wildlife. The wife digs the mellow vibe. I plan to surf until I can't move my arms.

    Keeping a pair of Vipers in the car and bodysurfing 2' mush at a blackballed beach on my lunchbreak.
    When that first tropical swell shatters the silence of the summer doldrums.
    Girls, half naked, everywhere.
    Curling all ten piggies over the nose rail and holding onto it like a gorilla.

    Not so fun... but looking forward to it just the same...
    Raw nipples.
    Pulling wax balls out of the leg hair of my inner thighs. Ouch!

    HA!

    i'm stoked on several things:

    extended log sessions in trunks in the early am after i see my girlfriend off to work
    that first tropical swell (i'm hopeing for a june/july like 2008)
    my trip to the maldives in august
    hatteras for a week w/ my girlfriend & best friend of 15 years who i don't get to see nearly often enough (he lives in florida) & his gf & hopefully getting the opportunity to try my new jeep on the beaches down there
    bbq's & extended beer-swilling sessions on the back porch
    my favorite bar in strathmere opens up
    road trips up & down the coast (swell permitting)
    sitting on the beach after hours when all the screaming children have left & reading a book & drinking beer as the sun sets

    that's just what i can think of right now. i'm sure more will pop up as summer draws nearer.

    This will be the first time I will not be in OCM for the whole summer in a while, but when I'm going to miss working at the food lion with all the russians, warm water, and fractured prune donuts after an am session on 28th street.

    im excited for tons of things.
    One being that the sun goes down at 9. Another is to make some cool vids of skiming with a sponge at uppers and actual bodyboarding and surfing. when waves are flat skim is always an option which is cool. And another is that fact that its gonna be warm and that means less cloths, bikinis. and then i can achive a grargasm without going in the water.:D
