La's Birthday Request

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.  La wanted to go to the beach for her birthday.  Not hiking, not to an arboretum, not to fabric shops (although most of those things are currently closed) - she wanted to go swimming at the beach.  In that regard, this was more like my birthday present...

She and Noe used the boogie boards and they were having a blast!  I was even able to give Noe a High 5 one on wave!

I had the TJ Everyday out and Marlon was on his longboard.

I hope she gets into this mode more often - we had a wonderful time!  Happy Birthday La!

Afternoon Session With Two Special Guests - 26 December

I got home from work and sanded down the epoxy I added on to the 4'6" yesterday.  I still have a few small voids to fill, but after that I should be able to knock out the remaining sanding.  I should be able to get the board wet after this weekend.

After the sanding work, I told Marlon I'd take him surfing.  He actually went this morning - so with the evening session, he had a double-dip.

While we were loading up, La and Noe said they wanted to go as well. What a rare event!!!  Noe caught a few.

And La got a couple of good ones!

I brought the longboard as the tide was low (I hate it when I hit bottom).  So I was goofy foot training again.

With the offshore breeze (another rarity) - the smaller waves were easier to catch taking off goofy - so much fun (not quite as much as foiling - but it has certainly made surfing fresh again)!
