Surf Session # 71 and # 72

Both surf sessions at the secret spot, with the first day being bigger than the second.

I had some nervousness in returning to the secret spot because of the anonymous comment and the implied threat it contained as it related to this particular local break. However, having served time within the military during the first Desert Storm, I was not about to be intimidated by some punk-ass kook's empty handed threat.

Had an opportunity to talk to Chris, a fellow longboarder who is a fellow Dawn Patrol soldier and good spirit in the water, about the whole "Anonymous" comment thingy. He agreed that it was over-the-top and wrong.

Likewise, he confirmed that after he found my blog (after I gave him the url address), he told several other locals about the blog because he really enjoyed my pics and thought they would too. His friend Kevin, who I also gave the old url address to, did the same thing...which makes me believe that the whole thing was a word-of-mouth circumstance, and the fool that posted the comment was probably someone I don’t even know.

I let him know that the blog still exists...just in a different incarnation and url address, and that I would give him the new location on his word that he would not divulge it to anyone local. He agreed and reiterated that he really enjoyed the pics which made me feel pretty good.

Anyways, work has been a bitch lately, cutting into any water-time that I can have during the week. However, with the upcoming holiday break, I was finally able to get into the liquid playground for two days this past week because my work load has become less.

Got my fair share of nice drops and rides for both days, with some spectacular dismounts that had me doing flips over the closing lip. Those always bring a smile to my face.

The second day was a blast, with just me and one other guy out...very mellow vibe accompanied by beautiful weather.
