What's Your Next Surf Trip Going to Be?

Thank you Sir. That means a lot to me, trust me.
The Taky is in Nor’Easter Surf Shop here in Scituate MA. The guys super cool and has some SERIOUS CUSTOM collecter boards - over 200 in shop at a time. That’s one of them.

 

yeah that's first rate, mate.

goode jobbe

 

You'd probably have to send it in pieces as a flat, with instructions. Like Ikea lol

Looks pretty self explanatory, I could probably do it without the instructions.

but then it would prolly look like a wine rack instead of a board stand.

saw a "Board Buddy" label, might want to reconsider in light of trademark issues

ok I'm done jacking the thread. I don't know what my next surf trip will be. It will be a last minute decision like everything else

 

CR in 3 wks for a week, & againe in Feb for a week

My way of surviving winter...

 

Just managing my way through a Hawaiian Island Vacay. Checking in with you yahoos!!!

The last few days have been majestic! The first few days before that were close to majestic.

Pipe finals day, Hawaii Bowl (and bowls, killer north shore hike to the places gods hang out (and Barry). Have done two really good hikes.

Surf has been real good to okay. But, the okay Sessions are waaaaay better than sporting a 4/3. Been surfing my 6’4” on north shore. Probably will bust out 7’ this week. Also got a couple of south shore long B sessions in (odd out of season SW swell trickling in...waist high stuff but good irie sunrise/sunset episodes)

So far so good. Hope everybody got what they wanted from Santa. Peace out and happy new year...

 

just started looking at dates for a summer CR trip

 

Do you need a consigliere? Motivational coach? Chef? Leg breaker?

 

Here’s one irony: just walked into work this a.m. to owner telling me there’s no money and if I want to be guaranteed some kind of check it’s gonna be unemployment...
Awesome. Probably still go to PR though lol

 

Ouch. No work is one thing, no money is worse - - or is this cause & effect in this case?
Is this the norm this time of year?

 

It gets quiet this time of year but never no work - usually as busy or busier with big offseason projects... the issue is monies owed, and for long periods. Vendors and expenses and payroll never wait, so to let many tens of thousands of dollars to remain unpaid and without any interest or penalties on overdue accounts is like loaning money for free that you don’t have to loan.
Anyway, I don’t want to mess with thread so i apologize for the fauxpas and sent my whining over to the appropriate tred

 

Very cool

too bad Stank/MIS can't keep himself off SI Santa's Bad Boy List, he'd be a great guy to link up with for local knowledge and paddle-outs

 

Charge it JayDeee!!

 

Some chunky well overhead sets today. Biggest waves so far...couple of bombs and a few others. Surfed super early this morning. Checked a spot I thought may be firing with light winds but it was not doing it. Lani’s was kinda weird too. Checked Jockos side and it looked so good. Paddles out with the sunrise and the lefts had pretty decent shape. Wasn’t perfect but it was good. Then I got to go to an old friends house and have a few of these before sunset...

Not sure why I ever left this place...

 

3 weeks til wheels up for CR

A week in the water, then 2 weeks back in the USA then a week in CR.

Working out, eating right, man it’s true it just gets tougher the older one gets, so Surf it up as much as possible whilst you still have your health, buoyz

Planning on bringing 2 of my boarts to CR this time.

 

What???

 

Whoever made up the saying, “all good things must come to an end” sux!

Surfed and ate and drank very well...

Now, I must go back to reality. Wait, was any of this reAL?

Surfed a half dozen spots (including a dreamy west side session...not always the case b/c da locals will shut you down!!!).

Dim Sum in China town was off the hook!

Fresh fish was a pleasure.

Hope you boys plan a surf trip soon...

 

Got great surf... the highlight was this gem. Super long paddle over at times VERY shallow reef to get to the outside. But this was the reward. This shot was taken with my phone from the beach, and magnified double what my camera could zoom into. There was another left down the reef a stretch that I didn't get a picture of... but it was 3-4 times as long and really ripable. This ledgy right was an overhead peak into a head high barrel. If you fell you panicked because the next three or four waves would drag you over the reef that was only inches deep.

 

And then... beers!

 

Sick trip, and thats been my go to beer lately.
