buzz in the air...
the buzz is in the air...there's a swell coming. people are talking, the surf is getting crowded, people are preparing to miss work. talk via coconut wireless is that it will be 6 foot hawaiian. i think that means around 12 feet regular. who knows?! we've been surfing lots, trying to jump in the water at the end of the day, to cleanse it all away, to cool off from the heat of the day, and to just escape from our stresses of the day. single fin and i have been pulling a few double sessions lately. the sunset sessions have been a nice change from dawn patrol. we surf till almost dark, out of the water by almost 8pm.
i've been truly blessed and have been catching some amazing long waves. my latest is going off to surf in my own little world, away from the crowd, just sitting on my board, looking off into the horizon, looking for that little bump in the sea, that starts building and building...and then the wave just scoops me up, with a bit of effort on my part, and there i go down the line, focused on me & my wave. what a great place to be?! escaping into the ocean, just being in the moment...no worries.
we're leaving for seattle soon, so trying to get as much surf in, as possible. then off to the pacific northwest, to go explore the mountains. i miss mountain biking. i honestly haven't been on a mt. bike since we've moved out here. it'll be good to see the old mt. biking crew. play hard in the day & party hard at night.
i just realized that i've been on 5 births in one month! damn. no wonder i've been under the weather this past week. my last baby was 2 days ago. baby boy born in the birthing tub. i was there for the first baby, almost 2 and a half years ago. what a sigh of relief for that baby to come out into this world! and now i'm officially off-call, at least for a month! whew hew!! it's time to put on my party shoes...
