Kauai

Home

Ive been neglecting this blog because I really havent had any words, but thats the way i prefer it. I got married which allowed us(notice the usage of "us") to go to Kauai for a couple weeks. It was radical (pics to come later)....

first session back in the NW from mo betta places.

Perspectives

Same boring life, new perspective.

fruitful

it was like summer. The 2 ft forecast prompted me to bring the rod, glad I did.

Proper Intro

I never really gave the GP a proper introduction. A few years back I became convinced that I could not find the board I wanted here on the Oregon coast, so I started searching classifieds in Cali to find the log I desired. I figure I might as well make a trip out of it. I emailed the GP guys and told them I'd be driving down from Portland. They said, in disbelief "OK dude but thats a super far drive. Show up here Saturday morning and we'll have the board ready for you". I saddled up the rig, grabbed a surf buddy and boogied down the I-5 on a Friday after work. I skipped out of work about thirty minutes early. They were asking why I had to leave at 330 to which I replied "gotta go down to Santa Cruz". So we drove, took a couple hour nap, strolled into Capitola about 8 AM. Met Nick P and Thomas (GP rider) and picked up the board, surfed half a day on it, napped, surfed again then hit the road. They gave me 100 bucks off for being a nutty PDX kook.
