Superbowl Sunday Surfin'. Plus: Some Great News

I haven't surfed since last weekend, and well, being with no set schedule you tend to wake up whenever you feel like it. So waking up early did not happen this morning. I got up around 9:30 and I got a call from Allison if I was down to surf. Great news, especially since I was already not motivated from my late wake up. We decide to meet near 15th, because of the free parking at the Library. I took a little longer getting down there, so I found her and her boyfriend and friend on the beach already. The waves were super closed out. Pretty unrideable/suicidal. So what do we do? We caught the white water. I had my long board, and man it was fun! I was catching wave after wave, and it was a great opportunity to work on my pop-up. The current was pretty strong, but not too bad since we were so close to shore. I was able to catch some waves that reformed and there was a nice shoulder to work off of.

A short but sweet session, Allison had to head back pretty early, she was hosting a baby shower and had to bake! eek! I later had a super bowl party to attend to. The party was fun, good food, fun people, and one guy that was a die hard Giants fan. He was fun (to make fun of) and crazy intense. We played this grid game which coincided with the points of the game. It's awesome because you're rooting for both sides of the game, hoping the final score will be your box. Here's a pic to explain it better.


Our initials are in the boxes, the numbers were later randomized after all our names were in. So it was 50 cents a box, and the final score was Giants 21 to Patriots 17...so the person with Giants number 1 and Patriots number 7 was.....me! I love super bowl sunday :)


Lastly, after the game Silverton got a text from our friend Joanne. Our results were up for our board exam! I was sooo nervous entering my info on the site, but low and behold, I passed! and so did Silverton! Such a great feeling. All this work...finally paid off. Now I'm officially a PT. Now to get a job!

  1. OK I think you need to post more. I would like to hear more about female surf experiences..Even though I am sure you could surf circles around me. BUT girls points of views are always dif than the boys ALTHOUGH.. I do enjoy reading all of them... reading blogs about local surfers is like an ongoing surf magazine, but more relate-able. If that make sense. I look forward to more of your posts. I love hearing surf reports in peeps own words..their own experience. SO get on it ;-)..You have an audience!
