Super Water Stoke

Last night, after work, my son and I got out.
The Temp was perfect and the water clarity was the best I have seen in years.
Sunny Glass, lots of fish below. Super beautiful!
Special after work surf for sure.
Loved it

Good stuff Man...Summer stuff !

Jason demonstrates the rare turtle dismount move 

at a very small, but FUN Terra Mar

I haven't really surfed much with my son Jason this year. We have both been to "busy" with work in one way or another. Last night he says he would like to go out Sunday morning, as he now is working 4-10's at his day job plus the Saturday fish market gig. So this effectively gives him 2 days off per week, a luxury for him. I surf almost every weekend doing the Dawn patrol thing. Not really a purist at DP anymore, I will wait until 0530-0600 to get there. Anyways with the lack of any real swell.
 I decided to not drag him out in the almost dark and maybe go surfing in the sun light. Wow what a concept. Anyway got out at 10 in bright sun and reasonable glass very warm water today 70 no sweat. TRUNKS, SUN, GLASS, my son with me..... GOOD STUFF MAN !! We each got a few small ones. I video taped him doing the famous turtle roll dismount and we both had a smile and a laugh. Nice.... Back home to another great summer thing.... our plumerias.

Happy Independence Day 2012

I love the Fourth of July Independence Day. It is a feel good day for me and mine.

Got in today (solo) at 545am Silence Trunks Glass Reef grass Schooling fishes below me Overcast Small little waves. Paddled to the reef and was completely alone save one seal and whatever else lay beneath. Got about 4-5 small stand ups and rode slowly looking into the calm water below my board. Terry came over and joined me at about the right time as I do enjoy peace and quiet and also company. We each had a couple little rides, just as 5 people started their paddle out we got out and I called it a day. Nice relaxed 2 hour surf. Really very different to surf in solitude, just you and the ocean. Very nice Very rare Happy Independence Day
