Last day of 2008……. Surf looking much smaller than the reported W 13ft this morning…. W winds knocking it down, am winds about 25mph….. but not too cold…. Winds supposed to turn from the SW later to 30+mph….. some rain…. so, no fire on the beach….. Yesterday was pretty impressive… went over to SdN, and saw Samoan Eric catch one at shorebreak, but wasn’t there to see him snap one of our “loaner” 9′ Linden’s…… missed that little show…… so, we will now have 2 broken boards in one 3 month period from the Samoan……. hanging on the wall…… hell, I may have to dedicate one area for his “trophy’s”…… Even better news than that, yesterday I handed over the keys to the Family Market building…….. we are now completely out of there…… not a tear was shed….. as one employee said…”I won’t miss working in the cold, dark, cave” New store is much nicer and more comfortable….. So…. we will enjoy another bottle of White Star tonight….. did one last night to celebrate no more Family Market, tonight we celebrate a new beginning at the new store and a new year!!!! Thursday, Jan 1st, I am going to find a place to get wet…….don’t care what the surf is doing, I will at least get the board in the water….. Cheap Bastard can be found in Arch Cape wearing his Viking horns and jumping in the water for that annual event…. too much of a crowd for this old fart……..Surf should be W 13-19ft with south winds 25-45mph….. Friday W 20-25ft with W winds 30+, Sat. drops a bit to W 13ft with SW winds 15-25mph….. Sunday W 11fty with S winds 30mph +………. maybe next week!!!
