weekend stokez

today i am stoked for no reason?

my teacher richard sent me a line mentioning good swell this weekend and asked if i'd like to do a lesson. even as my bank account chided me, the idea of getting to catch as many waves as i do with richard is too good to turn down! so tomorrow i'll be back in SC hopefully putting my new pop up to practice.

i saw a near new 9' walden mega magic on craigslist yesterday for $500 including bag and leash! perfect, right? i consulted richard and he said go for it if i wanted to but be sure it was what i wanted and in good condition so after much anxiety i emailed the seller and.. no response. i'm guessing that deal was snapped up pretty fast. oh well. i'm already kinda over it. honestly, that board is very popular and $1000 new so marking it down that much is kinda suspicious, tbh.

then i called ward coffey and asked if he could possibly meet sunday afternoon and he said because he's going to be jam packed soon, he would fit me in and was as gracious and nice as i could ever ask for. i can see why he has the reputation he does. i am super excited to get a CUSTOM board for ME and ME ALONE, just the way i like it with MY COLORS ( i think i want clear deck w/purple rails and red trim) and not used by any ol nasty person.  lets be honest.. i'm so not an off the rack gal. haha. i am already dreaming of getting him to make me a 70's inspired (let's go with inspired- i want a board i can actually ride) design with psychedelic spray when i'm ready.

i really need some salt water in my life SOON.

plus i'm going to book my LA vacation in june which would be like hopefully 5 days straight of surfing every day, with mellow summer waves that i think would be good for someone like me.
