I’m thoroughly convinced that you’re not Spent…………you’re just not spending enough!

I get stoked on the smell of new rubber, on opening a bar of wax and the ritual of suiting and waxing up, on surfing with friends at isolated breaks and discovering new waves at different tides and how the sand bars have changed the waves, on the anticipation of what type of wave is over the next dune, especially if it’s going off. I’m stoked on taking a boat to some remote spots, dropping the hook and paddling in to surf, then having to paddle out to get back to the boat. I’m stoked when I check the surf everyday before work. Even mediocre waves can stoke me. When I run into a friend I haven’t seen in awhile and we go share some waves or convincing good friends to go out on a sh!tty, small day and just laughing. Checking a spot and finding it’s on fire and you’ve got it solo. Traveling stokes me and figuring out new spots. Late drops and hard bottom turns, dragging my hand along the face of the wave and accelerating down the line then flying off the back of the wave instead of kicking out. Surfing with my sons.

I could go on, but I gotta go surf.

Time. Spending your time pushing water.

Besides, I have to take an inventory after you leave the shop....everytime. If you come in again, expecting to loiter around, I'll get the broom and chase your a$$ out!

Glad you got it good yesterday. Slothie called and surfed into the evening at the spot we talked about and got it good too. This morning, I got the other spot we talked about pretty good too.

Tony prefers to stoke rather than get stoked.

Turning a 2006 wet suit in for warranty work and having Mark at Canon Beach Surf giving me a brand new 2007 suit.

Getting back out in the water and getting more then just one session in.

when it's flat and I'm surfing anyways and notice that my dog has followed me out to the lineup and will swim up to say hi but if I try to grab he swims away as he knows what will happen--- the dog on the surfboard thing--- he's not much of a fan.

the fact that my dog has figured out how to duck dive when chasing tennis balls in the surf.
