it's been a COLD week in LA. i guess it's nothing compared to the blizzard that hit the east coast but, by southern california standards, it's freezing.
i went surfing on sunday after not having been wet for almost a month. rainy run-off has kept me away from the beach. i mustered up some moto and got down to MB for an early morning sesh. i decided to take the single fin (aka: Red Rocket) that my brother-in-law made for me a as a Christmas gift a few years ago. it was a good choice.
despite some very cold water and a wetsuit mishap, i managed to catch a couple of fun rides in an hour or so. glassy, chest-high rights with a very light crowd by LA standards. then the extremities started cramping. not good. i must be crazy to subject myself to such abuse.
here's a few pics of the Red Rocket from Christmas 2007.


i am looking forward to some time in the water tomorrow...i hope that you do as well.
