I took the 5’7 x 20" orange single fin out for a surf today .
It was fun to ride a non-fish , and a non-thruster , and a non-7’ single fin , for a change !
And …sandgroper and I had it to ourselves (which is ALWAYS good !! )
Tomorrow will hopefully be straight offshore , if the forecast is accurate . Could be fun !!
cheers

LOL…I’ve been trying to post pics all day and can’t get sh#t done !
I’ll ask my 12 yr old daughter to help me after she’s done with her homework…lol
See Scott we are getting old !!!
herb, you are so right, i have to have beth help me with my cell phone too!.
talk about getting old, last week we locked our selves out of the house and i give beth a boost through an open window and completely rupture my distal bicep tendon… next was open surgury to re-attach it and now its six weeks in a freakin cast.
hope things are way better for you!
scott
Ah cellys…ya me too on that,I suck in the new digital age,that’s foresure ! lol !
Sorry to hear about your injury,You know if there’s anything I can get you within legal limits, let me know.
I’m doing much better…there’s still bad days but not as sever or and as long in duration as it use to be.
I think several people here have dis-owned me since then…and that’s okay…I fell apart and fell short of a few goals very few when you consider the amount of sucsessful ones.
And I can be a loose cannon.
But I have a good heart.
You take care and drop me a line anytime.Herb
