Miss you

 Life is rough without you Carlos
Miss these beautiful winter days with peaks lining up at RJs, no one out, cold water and that heater vest you'd always wear.  I was jealous, cause you could stay out so much longer than me.

Dance the way I feel



I NEED SEAHAB.
There's no other way to describe it.  I can surf and paddle, but on land I am in pain. 
My lower back is extremely sore and painful.  It gets stuck when I am trying to stand up out of a chair or the bed.  It really sucks.  It's hard to understand pain unless you're the one in pain. 
Went to the chiropractor for the first time today.   I know it's a common thing, but I was nervous.
Tomorrow I'll find out the results.  I need treatment. 
Doing everyday things has become difficult.  Hope it's not extreme. 
I need to surf everyday. 
(and we need waves...)

Autumn

Good morning and TGIF. 
I love summer but I love autumn even more.  Warm water is amazing, but really our water wasn't that warm all summer. (Unless something epic happened in July/ early Aug I didn't know about).
Cool mornings.
Glassy water.
A slight breeze.
Empty lineups.
Indian Summer.
TGIF.

These girls need our support, both emotionally and financially.

October Time

 The waves are small today and the water is cold.  Hopefully the red tide goes away completely so we can have some clean water.  Just wanted to post some photos of inspiration.  I love autumn -- its my favorite season.
