SOMETIMES A MOTH SHINES AS BRIGHTLY AS A BUTTERFLY

.
Often overshadowed by the consistent beauty of the Abalone, every once in a while the California Muscle proves its potential is a force to be reckoned with.

IN SPITE OF AN UGLY WIND

.
Eddy reared its angry fist this morning.
.
.
But a few decent ones snuck in for those that weren't scared.
.
.
A good day to try new things and have fun eating shit every other wave or so. Fun.

ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT

.
Though thoughtless littering will always unnerve me... the next time I get bent into a scrouge mood over things as relatively minor as Summer crowds, Blackball, etc., I'll do my best to remind myself of Wayne's unfettered stoke this morning.

SUMMERTIME BLUES

.
The beach is for everyone...
.

.
...But some things will always be hard to swallow:
.
.
1) Mandatory Blackball for the inside shallows to be played in while sets go unridden on the outside.
.
.
2) Returning next dawn to a parking lot and beach of trash.
.


.
3) Abandoned chicken and styrofoam.

AND THEN IT GOT WINDY

Early morning photo from last week. Check it... glassy. Suit up... windy.

GOOFIN' OFF

.
A little edit I was able to throw together from unused footage from the surf flick Stoney Baloney (made by Richard Woolcott & Troy Eckert in 1995). Referred to as Spell of the Frog Charmer, the edit was used as an extra feature when Stoney Baloney was released on DVD.
