THE BOAT TRIP
Today started out with a nice looking swell out in Hermosa but 2 closed out so our buddy Garrett who has a dingy said lets hit "blah,blahs"..which is an A-frame wedgy wave on a nice reef...So we show up to the bay where the boat is tied up, Garrett paddle boards to it,breaks a $300 graphite paddle....We eventually get the boat and cruise to the spot...We pull up to 1st wave in sight is DAne Reynolds driving down the line(u cud tell his style) and he punts a full rotation air 3..almost had my camera ready."almost"..hah anyways the waves were good! ..It is the best waves ive seen in as long as i can remember..The lefts were sucking up off the reef and draining and bending at u like a machine..The rights were doubling up and looked like an average day at lance's rights in Indo....I took the gopro out and held it in my hand and got Dane on a few good ones plus everybody else that was in my line of fire...I then surfed for a good hour and then it got to high tide so we left...Normally this would end the story BUT not my life....We start to head back and out boat had tons of barnicle on it that shud be cleaned off b4 going so the moter was working double...We are just cruising in at 10mph and all a sudden burp,burp we run out of gas in the middle of the bay,with no paddles...So we start to paddle with our hands,it does nothing ofcourse...So Garrett keeps trying to crank it and our only hope at this point is geting towed in by the next boat whenever that may be...Out of no where it cranks! yewww!! and barley glides and runs out at the tie up buoy..BUT i still have this bigAss cooler with the video camera in it and the tripod so i have to paddle my board which is 1/2 mile paddle get a the paddle board and paddle back out there n get the gear and paddle inn and negotiate with the shorebreak....FINALLY made it to the shore with the best arm workout i could aske for.Then we go to the local"soda" to eat the dank buffet and make it home safe and sound..Im taking a napp...I mite not wake up til tomorw...
