I finally made it out surfing. I went with this guy Matt who runs the skate contests. He also runs the University of Surfing.
We were surfing Linda Mar in Pacifica right behind the Taco bell and the sewage drainage. I was riding a 8 ft soft board. I think I'm gonna buy one so I can learn on it. I got to ride a couple waves and the big boyant board made it pretty easy to stand up. I kept going to my knees first before standing alll the way up. On the last wave I got right up to my feet. But after that I was beat and my calves kept cramping on me. It is a lot of work but really fun.
Mike thats pretty cool. It sounds like you did pretty well! Next time, try going out during the day, its even better!
Also I have been meaning to mention congrats on being a team rider for ghostibe, totally radical! I tried looking up their website but it said it was still under construction.
