Saturday I had the joy of hanging out with Phil and the Family Retay + Davis at the West Palm Beach Boatshow. It was like $14 a ticket but the day was so nice it was a real blast. These guys crack me up and we were laughing all day, it was awesome. We all started with tequila sunrises at my house then walked down to check out all of the boats none of us could ever afford. Phil and Amy had their little one, Phin with us. Such a chill kid, never fussed once. I actually took care of the little guy for a while with no problem (though every girl that walked by when I was holding him though he was mine, haha). You guys are truly lucky. After visiting the boats we hit the bar/barge which was loaded with people. Such a good time. Obviously we hit Rocco’s on the way back to my house, grabbed some steaks and food from Publix and did the whole grill out thing with hot-tub afterwords. Thanks for such an awesome day guys! All of my shots are uploaded to my SmugMug page (as usual). Check them out here..... Permalink

After some debate and checking the surf camera up in Jupiter I decided to head that way and see what I could catch. It looked better on the cameras than it actually was but it was still pretty good. 4-5 sets rolling through in intervals. Once again I surfed alone at Kite Beach but once again, I had a chance to sit there between sets with my eyes closed and try and center myself. Find that quiet place in the water, that quiet place we all need. I surfed until the sun disappeared behind the condos on the beach. The... Continue Reading

This looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun this weekend. Or at least at the end of the week. The image above is a snapshot of Surfline’s forecast for the next few days and if you notice it says….6-9 foot mid-day on Friday. Saturday will probably be the day to get in the water just in case it’s major wind choppage. Grab those boards, wax ‘em up and get your ass to the beach. We’ve got SURF! You’ll find me at Kite Beach more than likely, or maybe even Delray. I’m boycotting Palm Beach (bunch of snobby... Continue Reading

I’m no political correspondent and normally I treat politics with a polite disdain towards the greedy and conniving bastards of government but last night I tuned into the latest address by President Obama and it wasn’t as boring as I thought it was going to be. Granted we’ve been listening to freakin’ moron for the last 8 years so listening to someone actually put complete sentences together was refreshing. Most of the conference was on our current financial crisis which also made me feel a bit better. Everyone, at least everyone I know is feeling the pinch. Office work has... Continue Reading

Ok so I know it’s been over a week and I DID upload them to my Facebook Account but now I’ve finally gotten around to adding them up to my SmugMug page for your pleasure. Most of the shots are of the hotel and surrounding area and there are very few of D, Gary and I if any. The shot above was actually sent to us by a new friend down in Cancun damn is my tan kickin’. Just kidding. Have a look at Cancun 2009 – Trip to Mexico for no real reason.... Permalink

You usually know it was a good weekend when I don’t write till Tuesday night or Wednesday. I’m finally starting to feel like a normal person again and overall it was from exhaustion. I went out with friends on Saturday night and then hung out by the pool all day on Sunday. Exhausting, yeah I know. The pool day was was something short of drinking all day on a boat but without the boat. Grilling out with my neighbors and relaxing by the pool the day caught up with all of us around 7pm when I headed home to pass... Continue Reading

Last night’s after work surf trip up to Jupiter turned out pretty good and overall much better than surfing freakin’ Palm Beach. For some reason I was just in the mood to surf el solo and kind of collect myself. When I arrived the outside was cranking through with nice 3-4 foot walls, kind of closing out but still looked like a lot of fun. I packed the 7’7″ and the log for good measure. Made the call to unstrap the Robert August 8’2″ and hit it. Nice long paddle out and it was solid ground swell so you weren’t... Continue Reading

That’s right folks, I finally made it back in the water after how many months. It was only wind chop and to be honest it wasn’t that easy to catch a good ride. Not to mention the hundreds of sharks in the water but it had to be done. I haven’t had surf in so long it was (kind of) worth the risk. Barely rideable and only about 2-4 foot. Today should be a bit bigger but with bigger in West Palm that means dumpy so we’ll see what the surf looks like after work today. The only reason I... Continue Reading
