Spring is here


A really long day of driving, for a relatively short surf session. Actually I didn't drive, but I did have to sit in the 'extended' portion of an 'extended cab' truck. Needless to say there was not much 'extending' going on. If it wasn't for all the Miller Highlifes I think my knees would have been permanently frozen into a 65° angle by the end of the 16 hour day. All said and done it was totally worth it- surf was pretty good, weather was amazing, and staff at Arby's was very friendly. I couldn't have asked for any better conditions on the second day of Spring.

My wetsuit still remains pee-free.

This is bullshit man.....that is one of our last secret spots left and by ours I mean us guys that live 50 miles away in P.A. and claim the place. So fuck you man, and next time I drive and hour and a half to get there I am gonna apply my local status and kick your ass......................Glad you scored it guys, its hard enough to get to as is, hope you had fun:)

Yeah, next time I'm out there please don't be afraid to say howdy. I'll be the one wearing the Hollister hoodie and be riding either a longboard or a retro fish.

That will be impossible since I dont make eye contact with anyone, not to mention I might not even see you cause of my rad beard and the can of Ranier I typically am putting down before and after surfing on my poorly painted six two.

Sounds like you need one of these-

Bunny in the T.V. is a bad omen full of black juju magic. How the f*&k did it get out of its box?! I don't want to leave my home until it goes away.

Looks like the morning down there was better than we got it in the afternoon as you guys were getting ready to leave. Nice pics. See you around. -Bunny's Agent (and handler)

I'm having trouble following these comments: I can't tell who is real and who is fake; who is pissed and who is joking; who is serious freakin business and who is half-assing it... It's a good thing that spot is secret, or else I may have to just try out my new pink soft top stand up paddleboard out there...

...or my kayak...

I'm pretty sure everyone who left a comment is 'half-assin' it, but 'seriously' if you catch my drift. I'm sure alot of folks would like to claim 'local' status, I doubt that's the case. I'm sure a few think my post is kinda careless, and I would have to agree to an extent, but it's also my blog and I take pics and log surf trips.

a.----your confusion summed up the whole deal perfectly. The whole thing is such a joke, especially with some of the boys....or boy"z" ai am sure they like.

I personally appreciate your blog thing and like to see pics of you guys scoring....or not. I wish I had the motivation to document my surf sessions and could share that with anyone who cared to look. Surfing is pretty funny thing when you really think about it, especially up here where you have as many guys that surf just at Lowers between 8-noon on a Saturday, that surf in the entire state in a whole week. But like anything it only takes that 5% to ruin it for everyone else........by the way which I am a part of and I will kill you if I see you or a.

'Ki'ng of Surf said...

Still want to kill me eh? Well be careful because I'm pretty sure I know who you are. I remember going up to the parking lot that day and seeing the wagon with OR plates. We were totally going to let the air out your tires if it wasn't for all those stickers on your ride. That many stickers can only me you're straight EXTREME (Except for all the HOT TUNA stickers- WTF?). Another thing we noticed that I thought was strange was that surfrider membership sticker on the rocket box...but the sticker had the date cut off. Why would someone cut off the date? Maybe they don't want people to think they let their membership lapse, or maybe you just joined in 2008 which means in 2007 you were making your first trip to the coast with the soft-top strapped to the roof.

So you better believe I'll be looking over my shoulder for an environmentaly sensitive dood rockin' HOT TUNA gear, a dakine pack, and rollin around the Straits with OR plates.

Seriously, nice pics and cool blog. I look forward to seeing you around and laughing about this over a beer. Have a feeling we are very much from the same mind regarding all the B.S. and negativity out there.

Anonymous said...

man you have it all wrong. that was my subaru w/ OR plates and this is not my blog nor would i ever put photos of this spot up on the internet. so if, while you are looking over your shoulder for me, you see me, just say hello and we'll grab a beer, a bowl, and a wave and forget all this negative shit

ya?... i hope it good cause being from OR we only smoke the best!!!

Wow, John-O and Obama,
Things are getting pretty testy up there in the land of aloha. When is the Big Guy going to chime in? Maybe you guys should relocate down here and we could take runs down to BM's where the locals might steal your car, leave it to you to get back across the border, or worse yet, string you to a tree. John-O, I don't think I'd ever go out at a spot with a bunny scene like that. Ever since Donnie Darko, bunnies scare the bejeezus out of me.

Anonymous said...

...oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the locals at BM's can also pass along hepatitis along with an assortment of other blood and fecal borne illnesses...I'm sure that is not an issue at said bunny in the TV site.

Dear 'Me'

When 'anonymous' said he had "something for you to smoke..." he was most likely implying something other than the weed, I bet he meant something like penis. So are you sure you still "only smoke the best!!!"? And by that do you mean the best quality penis, or you smoke penis better than everyone else?

well now i know what all you WA folk are thinking about... get your mind out of the gutter.

Anonymous said...

OK I think I got it figured out.....Lets all meet up at this spot next time we get a clean swell and have alittle battle royale. Hell we can invite Pepsi can guy, blue van la push sticker guy, other old man blue van guy, this Hot Tuna guy(have surfed with you, and you are not mean, actually you were quite nice to share a day at the dxxx with), how bout all the mervin guys too, westport explorer guy, 4 runner with a rocket box and sweet beard guy. lets see if we can get all the WA pricks in one spot......anyone see the movie Traitor......how bout that plan.

'Ki'ng of Surf said...

I imagine that pretty much everyone who's contributed to this post understands that we're just having fun and talking shit- no real harm intended.

With that being said I would like think that we can all walk away from this agreeing on one thing- from now on the guy from OR, who drives the Subaru, will now be referred to as "Hot Tuna Guy" when surfing the WA coast.
