Got a high going a felt like sharing it. Made a little 5’3" fish awhile ago w/ flex keels. Some cosmetic issues but rode well but just too short for my lazy old butt to enjoy paddling. So it was taking up space. Advertised on Craig’s List i.e. “make me an offer” but got no takers. So rewrote the ad as “free to good home”. Bing! 20 minutes after posting got a phone call and a very nice and nice looking young lady came and picked it up to ship to a little kid in Mexico! Magic! I gave her a bar of wax and told her to be sure to send that with it. Made my day.
…and I already got a couple hours of smallish but perfect glassy point waves this morning!!! I think this has been a perfect day.
Ever see the documentary “Favela”? It’s about the surf clubs in the favelas (slums) of Brazil. Those kids and their mentors are all so stoked. Busted boards, shotty tools, whatever, they don’t care. They’re just purely stoked on surfing and how it improves their lives.
