last camp of season 2009


Pic #1 boards a couple of thses are ten years old. so many people have surfed them, it is cool. pic #2 joanna took this of me, 57 year old guy, only other thing that interests me besides surfing and a few other things is constitutional law and order. pic #3 mike king: main man of the beach stops by and he and i visit, we have known each other for over a decade.
it is about 65 degrees out i have on ski clothes, water temp still over 80 degrees. we had a blast, michele her first surf camp, she is a rocket sientist from houston, honest. karen and terry in camp for their second camp both ladies needed prompting from me, they like the beach chairs and walks on the beach and with it over cast they waited until the sun shined on sunday around one in the afternoon then they went out and i was proud of them, they love it, especially since i tell them that to be a surfer girl all you have to do is let the board do the work and do a tummy ride.






pic 4 Joanna our photograper and florist, she brought a bocay of flowers from her garden to camp. she worked the board and did get some standups on sunday, i know she wasnt going to leave camp without a 30 foot or more ride.





mike doesnt look to chilly, he is on the beach nearly every day year round with his wife and dog. everybody knows him, and out in the lineup he is quite the presense, plus he can surf, he's big and older than me, famous surfboard manufactures give him boards to ride.
Allison and Katie gave it a good try, even though the waves where big and it was kind of stormy, they had fun in surf camp. Ken Jeffers made a standup on sunday with joanna and he was proud. shawn the best tide guide surfer is now charging the drop zone, i surfed him hard which ive done for 5 years now and he is going for it, really great to see...we had red tide thurs fri real bad. my lungs where raw and eyes red but waves where huge friday evening before sundown and about 10 of us where out getting maxxive ride.....well that is the season it is over for 2009.
