Lunchtime surf
Went out for my first lunchtime surf since we moved here. The salt water felt so so good on my body, which has been so achy and sad. Current was hella strong and kept dragging me from 12th to 14th before I could even realize it. I was the only one out, so I stayed pretty close to shore. Worked on popping up on my new board from Cinnamon that, after a certain roommate of mine mooned me the other day gleefully (as if this is out-of-the-ordinary), I decided to dub Blue Moon. 8 feet and dark blue, it was a gift from the Mooner himself last year for my birthday. Even though that was July, just have not been out so much since the fall and winter was concentrated on moving here and I am so excited to get to know this board. It was tough to paddle out with one wave after another but it’s always fun being out. It started to rain, falling and coating the water in inverted goosebumps. It was practically 60 degrees. Thus, every pent-up New Englander is going crazy. We went back to TW around 530pm and every car had its windows down, rap blaring and there were dozens of people snapping selfies as high tide rolled in. I smelled the beautiful skunk like scent of weed when I went out at noon, and the same stank when we ran along the wall. When we got home I said, Let’s bump patio furniture up higher on the “must buy” list!
SPRING IS COMING.
