Surfs Up

This is just part of the view from where I was SURFING today!

It started out a super foggy day with really choppy waves. I never actually got up, because of the water. And, by the time the waves calmed, I had already brought my wetsuit and board back to the rental place.

I didn't go at this 'bucket-list' venture alone. I went with one of the guys I met at the Ash Reiter show over a week ago. Let's call him B. And, let's start at the Beginning...

B picked me up, and drove me 'Miss Daisy' style out to Linda Mar beach in Pacifica, seeing as his board took up shotgun and the rest of the car. We got each other's life stories by the time we hit the rental shop, where I had the embarrassment of putting my wetsuit on backwards. (I'm pretty sure he may never let me live this down.)

We made it to the beach, where he did his best not to laugh as the waves took me down, over and over again. After I drank my share of saltwater I sat and watched him try to show off. Fortunately for me, B is not that good.

We changed out of our wetsuits and ate the smorgasbord of a picnic we both packed. By this point the sun had finally burned all the fog off and the waves were starting to calm. The view was incredible, and I'm pretty sure this was more of what he had in mind.

We decided to ditch the beach and meet some of his friends at Dolores Park, back in the city. We got pretty lost, eventually made it there, hung out with a few of his friends for a bit, and then came home.

We're all going to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival next weekend, and I'm already counting down the days! I had such a great time with him, and I'm not sure what to make of it?! Friend? Lover? I'm not sure yet. I do know you can't hide much in a wetsuit. I also know in typical worn blogger style he's a SoCal boy with a one syllable name. Guess, we'll see where this one goes?!

In the meantime, COW-A-BUNGA DUDE!
