Sunday Surfing in SLO
Well, since the weekends on campus are pretty drab(due to the majority of off campus students and parties), a few of us decided to hit up the beach for some waves this afternoon. It was already a nice day, but we needed a beach trip to top off the weekend. So Aaron, Ryan, Gabbie and I piled into Gabbie's Beamer and headed to Morro Bay. Now this is a small car, as you can imagine. So with the four of us, two boards and my boogie, plus backpacks and such, it was quite a squeeze. But we managed to be only slightly uncomfortable.
We didn't leave until almost 4, so when we got there it was primed and ready. I was about the only one there without a wet suit, and I only saw one other boogie-boarder. I was cold, and a minority. But I held my own.
After about two hours we called it a day, since we all had homework to do and we were cold. Well, I was the coldest - Gabbie and Aaron both had wetsuits. They didn't quite feel my pain. But I had a blast nonetheless. Next time I'm gonna teach myself to longboard surf.
Ryan, being used to the warm New Jersey waters, psyched himself out and dared not brave the icy foam. I didn't blame him, in just his trunks.
You know Aaron. Meet Gabbie, a Civil Engineering major who lives on the first floor of my building. She has, I assume, been surfing for a little while and.....well, I don't know much more about her than that.
- Funny Story -
After I got out and was waiting for the others to be done, Ryan and I decided to snack on some cookies we had brought. Within twenty seconds of my opening the backpack and pulling them out, a rather large dog lumbered over, sniffed around at our feet, then came and stood at mine, looking into my eyes longingly. I threw one a few feet away and she got it. *gulp* Her owners called her back. So Ryan and I converse over our cookies, and before you know it, the doggie's back. Now Ryan has the bag, and this time she actually sits at his feet and waits. But we had just eaten the last of them and there were only crumbs - Ryan illustrated this but the dog failed to grasp the concept. So we went on with the convo and she just sat there ignoring the girls calling for her.
Now the girls came over to get there dog, apologizing for the disturbance. We said no problem, 'cause this was a nice dog. We struck up another convo, and it turns out one of the girls is from Pittsburgh! As you may recall, Ryan is from PA, not far from that area. What a small world.
And finally, some scenery/surf shots to complete the day. I went back and spent two hours on Calculus *Ugh* with my buddy Matt (Aaron's roommate).
Until next time......
