The Vernal Equinox, Spring Break and MikeyB's Pics

So finally after "trunkin'" it all winter long on his SUP in 51 degree water, MikeyB has a good reason for leaving his wetsuit on land. He's in Hawaii! He sent me these pics so I wouldn't feel bad about being left behind....thanks MikeyB.

Meanwhile in NorCal, there isn't much to complain about. Spring has sprung as they say (the vernal equinox happening on the 20th) and the weather and the waves have been cooperating nicely. Nothing spectacular but some good solid fun in the flawless Spring conditions.

A small pulse jumped back up today and is slated to run through the weekend and into the first of the week. The sunny, fogless days are forecast to hold too. There has been a steady drumbeat of wind swell generated by low pressure in the Gulf, originating near the dateline which has kept the waves on tap. Not real big in town but the beachies have been good. Zacky surfed Noel's down south yesterday and said it was fun with lots of good rides coming off the sandbar.

With a week of Spring vacation in front of us, the inland families are starting to flock to the rentals on the strand, filling up the beach with kids, sand toys, boogie boards, sun shades, towels and all the accouterments of fun for the seashore. I love to see the beach crowded with kids who are happy and laughing and having no trouble expressing it in all manner of ways.

I'm resting up for a few days after being out in the water for three days straight (paddling and surfing) and a three hour mega-wave count session yesterday. I'm obviously having too much fun on the SUP. Someone's got to put a stop to it...it might as well be my body which actually ordered me back to bed this morning. What a tyrant!
