Muy Malo

Hey all,

So a tragic thing happened 2 days ago, my macbook died after trying to drink some water : ( so bummed.  Currently, i have an insurance claim filed and i'm waiting to hear back if they will cover my computer or not.  Until then, I am using my moms dell, but at least it works.  So for the time being, it will be harder to post pictures, but stay tuned, as I will continue to post some intresting things. 

to the beach!

on my way to the beach a few days ago saw some nice sights, reminds me of how nice it is to be home and how unique it is where i live:

On surfari to stay

Yesterday, my and my friend Donnie decided to go on a surf safari, as it had been some time since either of us had gone on one.  After deciding upon a route the previous night, everything was set in motion for surfari-oh-'10.  The bouys looked good, the weather looked better, and water was cold.

The Surfari began at 9:30 AM when I met Donnie in the park near a secret-ish spot.  After meeting at the park and swapping boards, we had to gain access to stop 1 of 3 on the surfari.  after so naggling and hassleing by the local, we were greeted with 3-5' peelers:

after some waves like that we were cold, hungry, and off to spot number 2, where the waves were peeling past the stairs.  I donned my trusty twinnie and was off:

 

Lastly, it was off to the place where it started it all.  we met with some friends and ended the surfari on a good note with the company.  Fun waves to end surfari-oh-'10!

I never thought I would start a blog, but of of boredom and necessity, and a few pictures u have wanted to share, avast, the official launch of Wet Wetsuit.  The purpose of wet wetsuit is to make it east for friends and family to keep up with my antics, namely when I am traveling around on my big trip coming up.  So here it is, the official launch of Wet Wetsuit!
