Jupiter and Beyond

30 Apr 2006, Damien Komala, Archived in General Surfing

My weekend consisted of surfing constant chop. I woke up early this morning and decided to head up to Jupiter and check out the waves. Whoa, big and powerful wind chop. The shore break was overhead and just getting in was a challenge in itself. I surfed Kite Beach for the most part, but the drift had me down close to the pier by the time I got out. I caught about 5 good bombs after a serious workout just getting past the break. Eh, I guess it was worth it. The rides were phenomenal and very fast, even on a longboard I had the fins humming in the water. Getting back out of the surf was a challenge as well (over head shore break once again) and I had my ass handed to me on one I rode in from waaay out on the outside.

Caught the 4pm Ashtanga yoga class at my gym and headed home to relax and... Continue Reading

After a few hours the waves dropped down to a sloppy mess.... Permalink

Holy Crap That Was Hot

The title says it all. I decided to take a different yoga class night at a studio just next door to my gym. The yoga was Bikram Yoga and the room was heated to a balmy 105+ degrees. Holy shit it was hot in there. I can’t lie, I went for the chance to meet some attractive women but to be honest the class was pretty good too. Very intense and the thought of looking around during some of the poses they put you will probably make you pass out. Just losing concentration or breath in there is enough to... Continue Reading
