Skim lessons
on August 14, 2009
Kile from Mississippi sent some pictures of the skim lesson he had when he visited here a couple of weeks ago. He got a pretty good sunburn (even if I told him about the sunblock thing), but he had a lot of fun. He got some waves at Thalia and then came down to Aliso. […]
Mega Wins! Morgan second.
on August 9, 2009
The contest must go on said the contestants. Hard onshore winds and large offshore waves were dealt with by the contestants and it was pretty tough. Mega managed to get some frontside AND backside wraps, into the wind, to beat Morgan and take the title. Hugo Santos was out with a hurt foot from Saturday […]
Sunday in France
on August 9, 2009
Bon Jour mon amies, Today the contest is over early. Rain and strong winds last night blew out the waves, actually made them too big. So, since many of the people can’t stay till the afternoon high tide, they are going home. High tide is at 7:30 pm and is 13 feet. Yes, that’s right, […]

Friday too big!
on August 7, 2009

Carly and I visited the Cathedral at Bayonne and felt closer to God. How anyone can build something so tall with stone is beyond belief. I guess that is what […]
