April light

small but quite needed.
a week at the coast house with the pup.
and a needed day of small sunny waves.
friends in the water and out.
a few beers here and there and great company both bipedal and quad.

a friend of mine, becoming an even better friend everyday showing his prowess here for light and film.
i have yet to be disappointed by his photographic skills and his eye for beauty.

neu-v

ah hell.
next l be a flat back twin.
diamond tail for now though eh.
Tor...........?

whiteout

1920-ish single pane window.
location: shower


landlocked for 2 days.
leaves me reeling about some of the better days last week.
sunny hollow gorgeous lefts. i forgot i was in Oregon for about 30 min when it all shaped up.

back to work for 4 days.
feeling a bit closed off.
need some surf release.

this is all i could come up with.

Movement

finished the first board.
rode it thursday.
paddles great and pulls in like a parking spot.

a great day on a hand shaped board.
and small, fun, sunny waves didnt detract either.

here is the finished product.
and the next one.

Critical fun. Critical Sliders

C'mon summer

Wayward home

30 minutes.
all to myself.
alone in the water
literal crack of dawn.

sat, surfed, walked.
up, up, then slightly back.
a balance of toes
and fingers drug in pendulous water.

alone.

no city.
no ex.
no friend who is "worried about me."
no thankless job.

crisp spring water.
sun pushing above a cold forest.
9'6'' platform for losing myself under me.

gone.

Frustration

Gotten: Sun on my face.
a few good lip inspired thrashings
a tired dog.

Not Gotten: anything the resembled a decent ride.

sunny though. cant complain about that
