Just another weekend

Okay Paul, this one's for you. We keep forgetting to take a real camera with us to the beach so these are from my phone. If you squint and zoom in you can see little blobs of people. I'm sure Bracken's in there somewhere. On Saturday we were at Pupukea which is two surf breaks down from Pipeline. I don't know how Bracken felt, but a lot of the waves seemed really big to me. All of them were at least over-head.

This is how we roll!

None of that 'Sis'-sy Stuff

Are you tired of those

sissy 'friendship' poems

that always sound good,

but never actually come close

to reality?

Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of

True Friendship.

You WON'T see

cutesy little smiley faces

on this card-

Just the stone cold truth

of our great friendship.

1. When you are sad,

I will jump on the person

who made you sad

like a spider monkey

jacked up on Mountain Dew!!!

2. When you are blue,

I will try to dislodge

whatever is choking you.

3. When you smile,

I will know you are

plotting something

that I must be involved in.

4. When you're scared,

we will high tail it out of here.

5. When you are worried,

I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse

it could be until you

quit whining, ya big baby!!!!

6. When you are confused,

I will use little words.

7. When you are sick,

Stay away from me

until you are well again.

I don't want whatever you have...

8. When you fall,

I'll pick you up

and dust you off--

After I laugh my rear off!!

9. This is my oath...

I pledge it to the end.

'Why?' you may ask;

-- because you are my FRIEND!

Friendship is like peeing your pants,

everyone can see it,

but only YOU

can feel the

true warmth.

ITS OVER!!

For those that are interested. There are a couple of web sites that we wake up early to look at the web cameras to see if there is surf. The main one that is watch is the Velzy land camera, and today it is a good one to watch, the surf is lookin good.

Then there is wave watch which is not that good because the cameras on the north shore are usually down, but for california its great. the plus to this one is that you can control the view.

A Hui Hou

SHARK WEEK

Well it looks like shark week has come to an end. With great footage on the discovery channel, every time we went out into the water we where very cautious of the water surroundings. Inside we were hoping to see a shark or an attack. Saturday the last day of the week we went to Sunset beach to just relax. Well I got called out of the water by Jake because he thought he saw something swimming in the water just 5-6 feet behind me. I got out of the water and he pointed out to me that there was a dark shadow swimming around right there on the shallows of the shore. So we grab our snorkels and jumped in to see what it was.....
You guessed it, the dark shadow was a 5-6 foot black tip reef shark! Talk about a great way to end shark week by being able to see a shark face to face (almost about 3 feet away).
We kinda were joking with jake telling him that he should have not waved me in but rather should have let nature take its course!
That would have been a sweet scare and an even better story. I could have even been on next years shark week! maybe next year.
This is a true story, and yes once everyone noticed us pointing out that there was a shark in the water everyone was right at the edge of the water watching and screaming to the people in the water to get out. lame!
