San Clemente

So talking about turns and breaks, brings me to Saturday that was my finest day as a stage mom. Logan absolutely went for broke. He made his first NSSA final, with full bragging rights and a shiny trophy to take home.


Logan looking self satisfied next to his friend Jordan on the right.

My schedule was as follows:

6am leave for San Clemente, we stayed until
2pm when the finals where finished. I was then stung by a bee which brought on a benedryl stupor.
6:30 the twins 16 birthday extravaganza
8:00 Awards ceremony for Speech Tourny

You know it was a good day when......

1) You blew off everything to surf till dark.
2) All of your friends found ways to surf till dark
3) David Gray was on the beach taking pictures
4) Your wife tells you 'you better go surfing'
5) It's 75 degrees and sunny in January with a building swell
6) As Ed says "the sound of a thousand pintails being dusted off and pulled off the racks is heard"


Yes after looking at my Minnesota brothers I was overdressed with my hood and gloves.

14 years ago I could could surf better than Ed.....Really 3.0

It was fun and worth the go out......Tomorrow with the swell building I hope it is fun and the waves hold up without being closed out.

I am trying to decide if the Dugan paddle out should be down without a wetsuit. But if the waves come up as they are predicting the only one that could get out would be Dugan..

Before the storm

Cross footing is the coolest part of longboarding and Lucas has broken the code of cross stepping. It puts the art and style in the sport of longboarding. I can't cross foot. Is he better than me? Uh Oh

Here is Logan on a re-entry floater on a head high wave for him. Next year will be his year.

One more day before Minnesota

We had a nice day at Grandview.

Here I am sneaking down the steps

The waves were good and it was warm and sunny. When I got there Matt was out. We got good waves!

Christie took the shots from her Iphone

Then we had a birthday dinner for my dad! 84 baby! I have to say it was a great way to spend the day before my trip.
