The Wilds, Baja, then the North Shore

Aloha Tribe,

So, Fall is here, and, that means it's time for some serious surfing training.  Depending on the night tonight, I might spend the next month in the Wilds, getting ready for Baja. Then, I'll use the size of Baja for some fine tuning and honing to hit the North Shore.

I'd like to go to the North Shore at the usual time, Halloween, and stay beyond Christmas, but it all depends on how Baja happens first. Then after Christmas, it'll be more of the North Shore probably through the Spring with Darrick Doerner. Of course, I have to get China in too and that's going to be 3 or 4 months so I"m not sure where that will fit.

Then again, seriously its all up in the air at the moment for my heart races with excitment and my soul sings of far off shores. Here it is, 2 AM, and I'm totally thinking of simply tossing my single backpack into my VW Bug in a few minutes, strapping on my feral vagabond Alaia, and simply heading South from Canada to Baja, hitting all the breaks along the way.  It's a full moon out there so it would be an adventure driving tonight.

What better the life of a soul surfer dancing to the siren of the sea. Down Baja way, I plan to do some hand spearfishing with my homemade wooden handspear, living off fresh fish, fruit, beer, and tequila with maybe a few surf articles to some of the top rags tossed in.

In addition to China, this year should be my year for Vietnam and also Gabon. A bit of a go perhaps but it has to be done.

Tonight, tomorrow, whatevers Brahs.

Double Overheads Party

Aloha Tribe,

This weekend arrive some utterly feral Double Overheads with 15 second Periods in the Wilds with a bit of Voodoo Mist as the  Kiwis says, so it seemed like a great time to have a weekend party Friday through Monday or Tuesday or whenevers.

Fresh grilled Fish Tacos of course. Beer. Tropical Fruit. Surfing of course. Bring an ukulele and a tent or hammock if you like or whatevers for some Stealth Camping and Night Riding.  Throwing knives rock (no blade spin 43 feet). Slacklining. If you have an Alaia, bring it, if not, come try Sliding Ass on one of mine. 56 degree water, no wetsuit needed. There'll be a Full Moon, so Night Sufing is a must, more so a moral imperative.

No pressures, no worries, just ride the glide and Slide Ass Slide.

Bodaciously Stoked,
