To be clear, I have surfed before (10 years ago) just not enough or good enough to call myself a surfer...
I even had Jeff Clark make me a board... Used only once. :(
The anchors that kept me off the board are gone...
So im taking a lesson this weekend to get things started...

Even if you don't make it your greatest passion you'll never regret the time spent experiencing what it feels like to be a SURFER!
Those are some motivating words friend.... I'll carry those for a while...
Progress report will follow.

This is a great shot of the Tijuana Sloughs (small day December, 1967) - that's Dempsey Holder and I don't know who else. You really don't want to go in the water there these days.
Dempsey speaks (sound familiar?):
Back in West Texas where I was raised there were lots of cowboys, but that didn’t mean too much.
The thing that was a real compliment was to be a stockman.
That’s like a waterman—somebody that can handle themselves in the water.
Emergency come along—you can take care of yourself.

Great photo.
One on the far right is screaming - Hey it's my wave!
Second rightmost - is that a tandem act or a double fin?

My good friend Dave (DC) Chalmers and Max at Coronado.
Max was one of the very first surfing dogs. Because
of the way Dave lived his life until he died from melanoma,
Max probably rode more waves than most surfers.

Im a chick.
I surf and I climb and I climb higher.
If you are going to ask me which sports I prefer, then I tell ya that climbing is more rewarding! But I also like bouncing on water.
