A New 7'7"

SURF REPORT

16 JANUARY 2010


For my sixtieth birthday all my friends ponied up the cash to buy me a brand new 7’7” Towers performance board from Anacapa Surf. I am sure Ryan cut Phaneuf a good deal on it because it was listed at $500 in the shop. John had observed me admiring it in the fall.\

We held the party down at low tide Knucklehead. Quite a rock climb for some of the folks who are not used to that dangerous clamber.

I was supremely moved by the gift. It was a talisman bespeaking a more active, a more optimistic effort in the water. As if I did in deed have some good days ahead, and I do. They are not to be doubted.
