Swaylock’s 2008…Share the Stoke!
Ray
You want photos? We’ve got photos! But first, let me say “Thank You” to John M. for organizing such a cool event. The location, raffle, movies, music and people couldn’t have been any better. Oh yeah, and the keg of Anchor Porter was the icing on the cake.
It was really nice to meet some new friends and to be able to put a face together with the name. I have to say, the Sway community is a super friendly bunch and made us feel right at home.
Mrs. Pato took a few pictures of the event so without further adieu, here they are.

Hi Jason,
It was supposed to be Anchor Steam but as it turns out, they gave John the Anchor Porter. Not too bad for a mix up eh?

It was great fun. Thanks John for setting it up. Thank you again, Ray for holding onto the dumpster fish and bringing it up with you. Damn that Ray is a wheeler-deeler! Mike
how come everyone looks so old?
is that what cold water and cold weather do to you over the years?
jus kidn… 
one day maybe we can make it up there too…
eventhough it looks way too cold for us thin skinned hawaiians.
Hey Oneula!
Ya, the cold water, sharks, THICK KELP, it all adds up to gettin old quick.
The few young ones that showed up we had them draw wrinkles on their
face and dye their hair gray just to keep the facade up.
Surfed with your brother last year at Pop’s now it’s time for you guys
to come on over! I know you’ve been in colder weather.
Les
And… My wife (Noelle) and I had a GREAT time same as usual. Surf was
better than last year, I had the right boards (7 but only used 3) for the
conditions. Seems like Ian had a fun time on my Gun.
And… as usual as flawless camp presentation by John M! THANKS JOHN!!!

Ian - Any time you want to come down to Monterey and surf you can use the Gun. Looks like we’ll have a good time to use it this Sunday!! Hope, Hope, Hope!
I re-plated the Palownia today, split the couple that were in the same pot. I’m excited to see how fast they grow!
