Another year older

Took off Tuesday, the 25th, for my birthday. Surfed Secos for the first time and had a blast. Super long rides and for about an hour or so, there were only 4 of us at the rock. Unfortunately, one of the longboarders broke his board. Bummer.

I also did half a sprint this week. 400m swim, 10mile bike and 1.5 mile run. Didn't feel tired after and was pretty stoked that I did it. Later that night, I wake up drenched in sweat.

I called KROQ yesterday for their singles party. And damn them for not remembering the Shower costume from Karate Kid!!!! Tell me I'm not the only one that remembers it. Should have told them I was gonna be a breathalyzer!!! Oh well, I was just stoked to be on the air.

Note to self

Do you guys ever find yourself getting bored while waiting for waves? Well, I did and paid for it. I think I've mentioned other guys duck diving their longboards so this Saturday, I decided to try it. Did I mention I took the tanker? BIG MISTAKE! I tried to put it under but couldn't. So, I paddled as hard as I could to get over the wave and just got worked. The lip of the wave smacked me in the head and now the inside of my lip is black and blue. Kind of suprised that I didn't bleed a lot. I'd take a picture, but I don't wanna gross you guys out. Sunday's forcast was better, so I took the fish. Some decent waves with a lot of wait time.

Did I mention that my hookup from my surf shop moved back to Hawaii? NOOOO!!!! I have to pay for wax now and no more Ryan discount (20% off). Guess I have to make some new friends at the shop or buy wax from Costco.

A 3 hour tour

That's how long I looked for surf; 45 minutes to get home. Nothing but blown out, high tide waves from Countyline to Ventura point. And knee to waist high forcasted this weekend?? Better than nothing!

So, about 3 weeks ago, it dawned on me, "Dude, I swim a lot, why not do Triathlons?" Right now, I'm training for a sprint (roughly .5miles, 13 mile bike, 3.2 mile run), but with the off season, I might just train for a full one. The biggest purchase, right now, would be a bike for me. I've talked to a few shops and one recommended a road bike and another really helpful shop told me to get a tri-bike. How much does it cost, you ask? A beginner tri-bike will be around $1000!!!! Guess I'll be on the stationary bike for a few more months. Hey Surfsister, do you know any shops that can help me out?

Right now, if I pushed myself, I think I can do half a sprint without stopping. I'll keep you guys updated.

Time to break out the tanker!!!

In need of surf

Two weeks ago, I surfed with a good buddy and Scarecrow... My buddy and I had a great sesh but Scarecrow was scared and cold. She did manage to catch a few waves. On one wave, she started to stand up and I started hooting for her. I think I threw her off because my buddy said that she fell backwards; as if someone pushed her. We both got a long laugh out of it. Scarecrow on the other hand splashed me with water, but eventually got a kick out of it.

Man I love the Fish! Ever get that feeling where you're in a funk with your short (or shorter board) then go to your bigger board (it used to be the tanker, but the feeling is still the same) and it's just soo much fun!! I think I've found that in the fish. I highly recommend one.

Planning on surfing this weekend because I missed this past weekend. I got sick, probably from visiting my grandma in the hospital, and the forecast didn't look worth it, so I rested.

Good waves forecasted for the weekend. Go get some!!!
