Weekend ferry ride....

Rode the ferry over to Delaware on Saturday for the 3rd annual board swap @ LIQUID surf shop in Rehoboth. Sadly, too much liquid fell from the skies and washed the swap out. The wife was fine with that and off to the discount outlets we went......

 

Back on the NJ side of the Bay it was blue skies and sunshine...

 

Almost home...



ALOHA

Going back to Cali

The 9'2" Vaquero is heading back to its previous owner in San Diego. Gonna miss her but stoked she's heading to a Andreini loving home! :) 

Aloha

Happy Birthday to my sweetie!

My Jersey girl turns 46!  :)

Escape the Cape Triathlon

Spent the morning with fellow ASO (Atlantic Surfer's Organization) members joining the water patrol for the Escape the Cape Triathlon. Pretty cool event in that the swim started from the bow of one of the Cape May-Lewes ferries. 3 hours on an SUP had my thighs feeling like I was in the race. Beautiful day, good times and a great race.

 

My wife's friend Diane takes the plunge off the ferry

We're all out there somewhere
