Good, long day

Well I had a great day today,
I started off the day quite early, at around 8 AM. It always feels like I have so much more time if I start of the day quite early. I just got my liscence this week and so I drove to go surfing, which was loads of fun.
I then got to a nice little surfing break, it was pretty warm out, so that was obviously nice.
The waves were about shoulder-head high (measured when the surfer is standing up) and were also crowded. I caught some good ones but it wasnt that great of a session, mostly compared to my last ones which were each more amazing then the other.
After that I headed home, I got caught in traffic and decided to take a side street instead of the main big street, well I regretted this decision when I had to turn back into the main street. It took me 20 minutes to get through 2 blocks, just to get me back into some more traffic. Anyways, I got home, ate, got dressed and all that and then headed down to my girlfriend's house by bike.
Well the bike ride was nice exept my bike scares me as it needs some repairing and the chain can basically derail whenever. It was really warm outside which I also loved.
After that I saw my girlfriend and stayed with her for a couple hours, that was quite enjoyable. She then had to leave so I headed back home on my bike. I stopped at a Rite aid to pick up a drink, got a great deal on it and just sipped it while basking in the sun on a bench next to the store. I just love stopping for half an hour or so and just relaxing. After that I passed by wallgreens, got some CD-r's to put some tunes on for car rides and now I am home, just relaxing.
Mmmmmm what a good day.

New board!!

Here it is! A beautiful Al Merrick Flyer. This board is 6 inches shorter than my first board (this one is 6 feet).
I also wanted to explain why I bought a new board, and why I just don't keep on surfing on the other one.
Contrary to what you might think, this board is not a replacement for my old one, it is just a board that I can take out on small days, while my other board can be used for days with bigger waves.
This boards shape and width make it a board that will glide nicely on small waves and yet will deliver the performance I want.
This board is also great because it can handle bigger surf, it is made to go up to 5-6 feet waves (1 and a half overhead), so I should be fine in any surf I go into with this board.
I surfed it today and well, its a big change, I first got on and felt that the board sunk REALLY easily, I was used to being able to push up from my board and meet resistance, but here it basically sinks in.
This is good because I can duckdive (go under) waves very easily! The board did not feel much more unstable but quite responsive, I had no trouble controlling it or getting up.
Another thing I like about this board is how easy it is to catch waves on it. Paddling seemed much more efficient and useful.

back from vacation!

Well I am back home from Mexico.
As always I am somewhat happy to be home but my vacation was just so nice that I wouldn't mind staying in Mexico for a bit longer.
To sum up my vacation I was surfing everyday for 7-9 hours a day in warm water! Wave wise we got some really small to flat days and we got one really nice day with overhead waves, I couldn't have asked for more!
Anyways I was in a small village and really appreciated it compared to my first 2 days in a bigger town. It really is a different atmosphere and a different lifestyle. Down in a village life is much more relax, the time is pretty insignificant for me and everything is quite and friendly. Even in the water i noticed that everyone was friendly. This is a change from many crowded breaks near my place.
Well a video of my surfing is on the way for your enjoyment :P

Spring break!

Mmmm its just that time of year! Spring break!!
Well two weeks of vacation just started 3 hours ago for me and I am already feeling so much more relaxed.
Well during the first week I am gone to Mexico and will be able to surf!!
I cannot wait as I am in desperate need of surfing and relaxation.
I just got a bunch of nice relaxing surfing music, slightly stoopid is really nice!!
well hope you all had/are having great vacations and my next post may only be in 10 days, but probably before if i have an internet connection in Mexico
