How to kill it while working for the man on a leisurely Wednesday:
- Stroll into the office at 11 following a 3+ mile run up the hills of SF, through the woods, and down the Panhandle, having already conducted the days most urgent correspondence from the comfort of your living room
- Celebrate G mans birthday with cake, doughnuts, and candles
- Pitch your favorite outdoor publication of the moment some fine goods from the likes of GoLite, Ryders, GU, and Sugoi
- Follow the practice specified on your Road ID -- Shred all Day Every Day- on the surf, snow, or concrete, just get on your stick.
- Finish with Beer.
Truthfully it's been a LONG time since I did anything closely related to shredding, but at Gordon's prodding we arrived at Ocean Beach around 2pm to find impeccable conditions. 3-5 foot clean, peaky lines were rolling in at a regular interval from the WNW an SW and there were only a few guys and gals out- perfect.
Devon and G are not regular visitors to the heavy beach break of Kelly's Cove but paddled out closely behind me and suddenly we were in the money. I caught an easy left to start, pumped a few times and popped out to find Devon taking off on a nice right bomb. She gracefully slid down the face, raced away from the curl, and with a little turn- set the perfect line to the beach.
I arrived back on the outside just in time to catch Gordon take off into a steep, green drainer of his own. I haven't had this much fun in months, I thought to myself as I dropped and made a quick bottom turn into another steep right. We traded off turns and wipeouts for a solid hour and exited the water with pure elation our faces. There's no place I'd rather be on a sunny, windless day than our very own urban surf paradise.
