Summer Solstice

The first day of summer. It comes with mixed emotions. Warmer water, sunnier days, trunks, vests and bikinis. vs. loads of tourists on the beach and folks clogging up the local spots. Not our best season here in SD for surfing, it will however provide for some fun sessions. Here's hoping this summer's show is more significant than last summers weak offerings. Summer time also brings visions of adventure and the possible reality of a surf trip and vacation. Think warm water, south swells and open line-ups with your friends. Lako! Vamanos! Aloha!........

Mitch's

Our friends at Mitch's surf shop in Solana Beach have a nice batch of new, hand shaped boards in stock. Check'em out. More photos and descriptions of Murphy boards there to come soon...

It's Only Water.....

that's what I tell all my friends when they are taking off or afraid to go. Most of the time, almost always, Mother Nature is nice and the water is more forgiving than the concrete, asphalt or dirt. But every so often the fiberglass flotation device takes a deviant course and inflicts some damage. Here is Cowboy Dan after his attempted nose ride. Since he has been kicked and bucked by horses, burros and bulls, he took this in stride. Ouch.
