Spent a few days in Brohampton, small but fun in the mornings before
the winds hit.

Met the owners of the new surf shop and taco hut. Seem like great guys, nice to
see a real surf shop in town.

He atacado olas pequeñas con El SmithGrinde...
El sol estaba fuera...
El viento soplaba...
Las cervezas se enfríe...
Pero el océano estaba helada...
Y los burritos de la stand se encontraban pendientes!

Almost, escondido translates to secret (masculine). Should've been escondida vida to maintain noun agreement.
yeah, her report got me to go to. Looks like Fri was thankfully not as flat as today. Still, it'd be nice to be able to hangout at the beach today, sipping cold beverages, sigh...

T'was a nice beach day for the Ceedog Fam. There was some longer period stuff and the wind stayed down enough to get some decent rides with no one out.

Lots of folks out enjoying the small cleanish beachies this morning. Cold water and warm sunshine are such a fine combo. When is the arch cape deli gonna reopen..?

Got in the water at 6:30 am yesterday....empty...gotta love Oregon surfers still only a handful hitting the surf at sunrise =)

North end was working.... Did this session in honor of my brother and he was there with us for sure! He threw me some shapely nuggets. Around 8 two other guys paddled over and we traded waves for a good hour plus.

Rode my 5'9 ufo flyer. This board is the last one my brother had shaped but never got to ride. It handled the small stuff perfectly. I actually got to hang 5 off it.

good morning and hello.

could've touched a couple pelicans as they glided past, banking off the green glassy waves. Watched an otter play just a few feet away, and there were deer on the beach when I paddled in. I pulled my hood down to obscure my face, and dog paddled my board in until the fin drug, got within about 30' of the deer... out of the water at 7:18.

I'm gonna miss this place.

i'm sad for you spee. i'm going to miss visiting.

sneaky little sesh on friday. saw lord grey stoke on his regal board cruising into a few in the distance. decided to be polite and let him and his companion have it to themselves and paddled out front with mr DV. dv got washed in and i got chased by a loc. still we had some glassy, if weak lefts, and the very occasional right that we were pining for, and a stunning vista.

may or may not have met MC, on the way in/ out?

They're making a comeback!!! Saw a huge one about 18 months ago, seems it's been many decades since they were seen this far north.

I didn't see any of you soft cocks anywhere this past week.
