Haven't listened to AP in ages, but probably should, since it is, in fact, peak melodica season. BTW North Coast radio has an awesome reggae show on Friday evenings. Can't recall the station number (irie), and heck I don't know if it's even on anymore, but perfect sounds for those golden hour drives up (or down) the 101.
Had an auspicious Sunday sesh at shorties-- pulled into an overflowing lot, but my go-to parking spot was open, so took it as a sign to finally wet the blade-- a fresh 6'4 HPSB, shaped by the man, Dan M. Conditions would've certainly favored the egg, but I'm aiming to dial in the new stick as much as possible before fall and yesterday's short period swell had enough size and oomph to do just that. Most of the first session scrambling around, getting used to the feel, but can proudly say I caught the first wave I committed to and can't ask for a better start than that. Second sesh was much better-- crowd thinned, leaving a handful of regulars and empty peaks. Caught way more and scored a right that hinted at the potential of what I'm riding. Still lots of work to be done, but I'm pretty damn psyched!
howl can be?
