just a day

finally able to sneak away under the cover of darkness for a nice friday morning dawn patrol session.
chatted with bishman about life & people. slipped into the water to catch some waves in the rather blah looking conditions. still excited for the sunrise & a few choice waves.

about an hour into it. this outside wave comes in. nothing to serious...but not in a predictable spot as it should have been. next thing i know its in front of me & i turtle. just like the many thousands of times before on my longboard. this time is diiferent.
i turtle the board then underwater i hear a muffled crack & thud noise. sure enough i now own either:
a pair of end tables
a coffee table
2 boogie boards
2 small sleds
or last but not least...one big white board.
ugh...what a bummer. to throw salt on the wound even more was my buddies standing on shore laughing @ me as i paddled in on 1/2 a board. :-p
ah well, tiz life & at least i got to retire my fav board during her usual dawn patrol session.
