Thursday March 31

            Ohhh Yeah!  She’s a blowin in the morning!  Good wind for today!  Plenty of great food for refueling at breakfast, and some great friends to share it with!  I was pumped to get going and went down to the beach early.

            After some computer play, it was time to get some more photos!  Andy was leaving tonight, and I wanted to get some more pics of him before he left!  He was more than willing to provide plenty of shots, along with everyone else!  What a fun time snapping so many awesome shots!  I get to see more close-up tricks than most anyone else!  A guy could learn something watching these pros execute such stellar moves!  See the photos here.

    

            Now it was really blowin!  I got out on the 98Lt and the 5.0M sail!  Lorenzo said to me, “when you are on a 5.0, it’s blowing stinkin’ hard!”  And it was!  I was in bliss, ripping the ramps, carving the jibes!  So much sweet terrain to play in, it’s amazing!  I rode for a couple hours, and fully worked the entire body.  My arms were finnaly toast, and I came in to nurse the dull ache with some beer and chat.

            Happy hour was a complete blast, as we relived the days rides and airtime over cold drinks!  Love the après surf sessions for great socializing!  We started to get hungry, and made plans for supper at Mobu, or Gabby’s.  Lorenzo and I waited by the gates of Mobu, and then joined the others at Gabby’s for some tasty eats.

            After a round of Super Mega Natchos, we feasted on fajitas and BBQ.  Very filling and oh so tasty!  We chatted all around, and soon it was past ten, and time for bed!  After a good 5.0 day, it’s hard to keep going for the dancing and party at midnight!

            We all made our way home, and off to bed for a recharge to do it all again Friday!
