^^^^^used to fire up plenty, especially on smaller days. People are more inventive than you think when it comes to that. I even knew a guy who used to tie a six pack of cans up to the buoy at one spot I went to frequently...

there was a time I could paddle out on a four foot day with an open beer on the nose of my board...
that time is gone.

I had friends who would smoke before surfing.
"Doesn't it slow you down?" "Nah, just throw two whites into the mix"
And of course everybody knows about John Peck and the unnamed Wedge surfer and their enhanced experience proclivities.
John Hanks and Richard Joly opened a surfboard manufacturing shop at 245 Palm Avenue (IB) in 1962. This is an example of a “well-used” board. John was 17 years old and Richard was 16 years old. Manufactured in 1963.
EDIT: Not my board, but I was friends with John & Richard & (sort of) Geoff. Sadly Joly & Hanks are no longer with us. Don't know about Logan. The board is in the IB surf museum. Wish I had saved the old red Gordon & Smith.

^That brought a smile to my face. Pretty good watermen to judge the takeoff and break that well.

Got up this morning with the kiddo, made coffee, read the news and watched the Fanning video. Yeeee-ikes.
Oh well, it's head high and offshore at the local point. Went for a surf.
A couple weeks ago I took the family exploring by some undeveloped cliffs. Good looking lines out there, but yeeee-ikes. Climbing feels like an unjustified risk these days.

Mick Fanning sees a shark during his first surf since JBay. Nuts! And during a 60 Minutes shoot!

Albee is so inspirational and committed to the proudest line under the ledge.
looking forward to el nino and that new 7'10''
I was meditating on the idea that water shaped the stones that we climb and stones shape the
waves we ride. peace from a beautiful morning in Index, WA
