Well, kids, I felt like it. Actually, my girlfriend and I went down to her parent's house to hang out.
This was a good weekend to hang out at her parent's place, since it was Mother's Day on the 12th. Plus, Sunday the 12th also saw the start of The Amgen Tour of California for 2013. We got to see the very beginning of the 1st stage in Escondido.

Any ways, surfing at Oceanside Harbor. I watch this break on Surfline often. More often than not, the waves here have a fun shape even when Surfline is calling it otherwise.
I brought my SUP out this time, since the surf was on the small side. Plus the waves at the harbor tend to have shape as I mentioned before. So, a longboard is fun to ride here because you can hot-dog it, hang ten, hang five, headstands, etc. I had enough time on the waves to think about what I wanted to do. It was a lot of fun.
The water was warm and CLEAR! I could see the bottom, all the little fish, and the seaweeds floating around. I even saw dolphins as I was surfing.
I caught a bunch of waves. Some had their way with me. One in particular sent me over the falls with the lip. In my effort to bail I flipped the board and as I dove to the safety of the backside of the wave, caught one of the fins square in the middle of my right quadricep. OUCH! I have a perfect picture-book contusion. It was still a really fun day. I had one set that kept trying to buck me off the board going forward. That didn't work. So, the next little ripple of a wave caught the board and I went back-steping, rolling the windows down, off the back of the board. I wish I had the whole scene on film (should have brought the GoPro out) because it was funny. I came up out of the water laughing at myself.
Until next time! Keep it Rubber Side Down!
