It took a lot of hustle, but I did it — I achieved the surf nooner.
I honor of International Surfing Day, I high-tailed it down to Pismo Beach Friday and jumped in the water over my lunch break. As it turned out, the balmy weather made it a perfect day for a noon-time stoke. And the conditions were so good, I had a real tough time leaving. Alas, work had to be done. But I got just enough waves to brag to all the suckers stuck indoors.
I’m just glad I didn’t encounter any severed human feet in the water, which is apparently a problem in Canada right now.
Right now I’m trying to work up my paddling strength because in three weeks, I’ll be headed to Southern California for a surf trip. During my planned stop in Malibu, I guess I’d better avoid Matthew McConaughey. Or at least avoid taking pictures of him in the surf because, apparently, that gets you beat up in Malibu.
As my bumper sticker states: Can’t we all just get a longboard?
Maybe this would be a good time to add to my list of surfing celebs.
