Boy, I don't even know where to start.
Since it is personal for everyone, i will share my personal thoughts
about it.I have good and bad feelings regarding it. It was a pretty big step for
me since my surfing has sucked so bad now a days.The first day we surfed outside of DD's place. Now to be called, Double
D's. Waves were knee to waist but tons of fun. Edmond and Rod and Dee
Dee were out. I liked those waves that day. Water and air nice and warm.
It was so peaceful and beautiful.Second days waves were ok as well. With strong NE winds the Lighthouse
was nasty. Some Asers took it on but I passed and traveled south to the
Frisco pier and had it all to myself for hours:-). That was sooooo
sweeeeet. I really like it there and it in now to be called Todd's
secret place;Third day I had passed it on to the fellow asers about my secret place
and that was again the call. It was a lot colder air wise though and I
was freezing in my trunks and rash guard. Also, I am afraid the bells
palsy might come back in the colder wind on my face and ears, so I got
out. The same thing happened the next day and I didnt even paddle out
because I didnt have a wetsuit as I didnt think I would need one there.
But the air was even colder on this day and I just didnt want to risk
the bells coming on again, so I sat on the beach with Rod and Kc's wife,
Lana..[who is really cool to hang with}........But I was pissed that the
air was that cold and wind blowing that hard and I couldnt go in. Anyone
who knows me knows how bad I wanted to be in there, but safely. Lots of
ASers out at my secret spot and it was great fun to watch them.
KC had the ride of the day for me when he was cruising on a wave with
his hands behind his back. He looked like AS royalty!!!!!!!!!!Edmond was impressive on his new 8"2" board. Caught lots of backside
waves.Ferg and Andy are just down right smooth as anything. A delight to watch
it done so well. Neal was catching his fair share as well.When Rod was out it was cool to see him stylin on his paipo. I would of
liked to see him on some big surf though. It looks pretty cool.And Dee Dee was outh there paddling around like crazy too:-)
One of the more fun things we did was go up to the Oregon inlet and Pea
Island and four wheel drive it.....[andy, ferg, neall, dee dee and
me:-)]...... That was awesome!!!!!!! We found tucked in at the end of a
cove a totally cool looking little long board wave. Hey guys, it was
actually breaking in long lines today as I passed by, maybe even knee
high!!!! We MUST surf it in the future as an AS experience.So, meeting Foon and Rod was awesome. Especially Foon because he has
been around a long time like me:-) Rod and everyone was very friendly
and all easy to get along wiht. They were nice enough to let me have the
main bedroom with my own bathroom. Thanks sarge!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But the bad thing is because of my hearing impairment, there were quite
of few asers I just couldnt hear, so I avoided them. That is what I
have learned to do after forty eight years of dealing with it. So, it
was very uncomfortable for me with all the people in the main area and
the tv always on or music being played.So, overall it was great. Oh yeah, surfed twice when dolphoins were
going by. How cool is that??????I am to tired to write more, I heard Lemmons made a comment to me
somewhere but I cant find it.Thanks Foon and Rod and KC for putting it together. And Dee Dee for
driving down my board!!!!!!!!!!!!!.............todd................><}}}}}">................
