016: Tubed if by bike

The truck is in the shop, so I had to pedal to the beach to surf. Was actually really fun… well, on the way down to the beach that is. Coming back up the hill to the apartment with board in tow was a different story! I scored (for free) an old Schwinn 10 speed from a neighbor who was moving. It is actually in decent shape, if not a little heavy. But it’s way easier to ride with a board than my fixed gear, which would be nearly impossible on the hills while carrying a surfboard. And the bike is not as much of a worry as my nice Surly would be at the beach while I surf. So no photos of the surf this time, since I didn’t want to bring anything valuable down to the beach.

The sunny and warm weather continues. Fog, schmog! It’s been amazing actually. And fun surf to boot, the onshores have stayed pretty much away. I’d say it was chest high with plus sets. And glassy for the first part of the session. The photo is actually from last week. The lifeguards have been around a lot, in trucks, on jetskis, on foot… probably due to all the people heading into the water with this great stretch of weather we have had.
