Monday Surfing & Commie's Wedding

Today I got out for a nice morning session at Nantasket, but before I get on to that, I just want to send out a big congratulations to Commie & Pam, who were married over the weekend in Nantucket. It’s so nice to share in their celebration as they are good friends & people. I wish you both all the happiness, love & joy that you richly deserve. Godspeed!

With that, now back to today’s session…

It’s so nice to wake up, see the sun shining, check the surf cams and watch all those nice waves roll in. When I checked the Boston buoy, it was showing the water temps in the low 50s. In my surfing kit I packed the gloves and an extra undershirt. I ate breakfast, grabbed my board and off I went to Nantasket. Along the way I picked up the usual iced coffee to enjoy both before & after the session.


Right before I paddled out.


Upon arriving the waves were even nicer than on the cams. I got kitted up and paddled out in the usual spot, by the refurbished bathhouse. I’m glad that I packed the extra gear because the water is getting chillier. There were only a few other surfers in the water and I had my area all to myself. Although solo sessions are fun, it would have been nice to have some of the gang there. Alas, with work and other obligations, that wasn’t going to happen today.


My gear, after the session.

The waves ranged from knee to chest and very clean. How clean was it? I only missed one wave that I paddled for. Yes, I was on my game today and the good Lord truly blessed me. All green water rides and once again tried to walk out onto the nose. One of these days I’ll get my toes over the edge, but today wasn’t that day. I did manage to walk-out my board from underneath me. I got a good laugh out it because I was having so much fun. After a little over on hour in the water, I pulled up camp and made my way home. Yes, life is truly good and what makes it sweeter are gems like today. Stoke factor is off the scale right now. Until next time, mahalo for reading and aloha!
