DAYS OF THE HOMO, THU 27AUG2015


Loc: Manhattan Beach
Time: 0700-0840     
Conditions: 1-2 Occasional 3 FT, uncrowded, inconsistent
Board: Motorboat Too
     So I had bought into the forecasted windswell that was supposed to pick up and hoped for the best. Actually, I remember thinking that if the waves would be the same as the day before, I’d be happy, but when I reached the lineup there were these shapeless lines coming in. Occasionally, one would break in the two-to-three foot range, but the waves were mostly sectiony. Aside from that, the conditions were perfect and clean. –To guys who think that grabbing another guy’s ass makes you gay, you are wrong. You are the one who’s gay for being squeamish about grabbing another man’s ass, especially if he’s your friend.—Some of the local regulars were out: Stocky Jon, Don K., Collin, Robert, Cheeseburger Chad, Anal Al, Scuzzbucket Sal, Dingelberry Dave, Cum Bucket Bob, Fred the Felcher, and Renaldo.

     Towards the end of the session, I caught a right that actually opened up. One of the progressions I feel with my surfing is trying to hit that lip, whether a turn, floater, of foam climb, just to milk the shit out of the ride. On my backhand, I busted out two backhand snaps, and before the lip closed, I did a foam climb and got pretty vertical on the white-wash curl. Sticking the landing, I felt pretty accomplished at that moment. That wave was my saving grace; it made the whole session. I smiled the whole way home, that’s at least until I got inside my apartment, which had just finished preheating for the fucking heatwave.
