sometimes it's about need

there has been a lot of good surf in new jersey lately. i haven't been getting much of it. i went down today not expecting much, and when i saw the waves, it didn't look like much. the winds were wrong and it was a bit choppy. but some nice little peelers made it through. the bojo hull was the right tool.

It was fun. I didn't snap any photos except this one on the way.

plus 1

Happy Anniversary Heather! 7 years ago yesterday, Heather and I first met at Chaucers( a bar). Every year we go back even though it has since changed to Pub & Kitchen. This year we went back as three. The photo is taken at the table we first met. You have no idea what the future holds for you.

A forecast is just a forecast

The winds ended up a little too south this morning. I was hoping for some cleaner lines. Fortunately, I did score some fun speedialin' waves to make make the session worth the trip. 3/2's and chilly.

somnambulistic surfing

my little girl kept heather and i from getting any shut-eye from Thursday on. I did manage to make it out sunday morning. the waves were still fun but i've certainly surfed better.

dand and i

we scored a great morning. there was barely anyone out. it was a glassy wave machine. if this regular wave action continues, i may feel like a surfer again.

first father surf


so if if surfing as a dad means being out of shape, no paddle, exhausted and slightly bloated from too many tasty IPA's, then maybe i've been a father longer than 3 weeks. thank you heather for being cool with me surfing. Guru steve make sure Shawn pays up. Happy 3 weeks old Michaela! a happy sighhhhhhhh....
