Warm Water and Small Waves

The dog days of summer are upon on us, and unfortunately for my pooch, dog beach requires a leash until Labor Day.  Tough to romp through the sand with a 6 foot leash trailing after you.

The water has warmed up, and more and more surfers are trunking it.  I'm staying with my summer wet suit, but the waves have been so small as of late it does really matter.

More people on the beach and the water.  The summer vacation rentals are a bit loud, but I force myself to remember if I were on vacation I would be drinking and staying up late as well.

Biggest bummer to date is the loss of several surf boards and wetsuits to thieves.  Someone flipped over a garbage can and used it to climb up to my second story balcony and stole my surf gear.  That sucks.



Heading out for a couple of weeks and will be returning mid August to work on my surfing in earnest.  Getting tubed is on my bucket list, and when better to do that than A Year Near the Water?
