Last night was one of the best Summer night of the year and its not even Summer yet. While playing a classic game of group solitaire (and I was getting schooled), we looked out the window. The tide was coming up, brushing the top rocks of the Topaz jetty. “Wanna go?!” We ran out of the back yard, bareback, down the sand and scrambled the brown bolders until we were deep enough. Better...

I like to lay in bed and imagine different trips I could take or exotic places I could move. Road trip through Mexico, build a fort in Costa Rica, open a cafe in Hawaii, backpack through India, sail from Spain to Morocco. I can start dreaming before I even fall asleep.

Malibu Musings
Surfing is cultural, dependent on location. Malibu is North LA and I am from the South Bay. Might as well be a foreign exchange student.
Every time I go up there it takes few moments to adjust, then I adopt the bravado of the drop in on any wave mentality. When I pulled up, a couple of old guys (recognizing me as the out of towner that I am) made sure that I was well taken care of and knew that...
Weather or Not
As I live in this menopausal, hormonal Spring of Southern California, there is always the sure conversation-spicer of the weather. “I can’t believe how freezing it is,” or maybe the next day “I’m dying of heat stroke.” When in reality, it is not all so drastic. Sure, it does fluctuate somewhat sporadicly, but really, is it all that crazy? Yeah sometimes we say...

Back when I was a Cove Rat...
As I was packing up my board the one morning, one of the infamous Palos Verdes Police Department Vehicles rolled up and a large, uniformed, clean shaven man gave a politely intimidating wave. I threw one back non-enthusiastically then he rolled down his window. I started to run through my head of scenarios he could possibly site me for. Shoot, these guys will get you for anything. “Is that...

I am so excited to go to bed early:
a) This is a rare occurrence for me these days.
b) So happy there are finally some waves even if they are kinda small and I want to go to bed so it will be morning sooner.
c) Who doesn’t love sleeping?!

I think maybe ‘cause I wear semiodd thing sometimes, people like to give me anything they wont wear. Fine with me. Free clothes are my favorite kind. Plus, just scored the cuttest vintage dress ever. Not to mention the purple lipstick Katie gave me, the striped Mick Jagger pants from Marisa, old school hoodie from Megan, backless hippie lacy shirt thing from Auntie Kim, denim jacket from...

As I was sitting on the birm, above the getty (I guess it’s actually called a groin) minding my own business, all of the sunny Sunday tourists started waving their hands at the lifeguard tower and a fit young man in a polo, red shorts ran down the rocks and dove into the water. It is not very often that a guard actually gets to do a rescue. This man was seriously downing. After a couple other...

Let's lay around at the beach all day.
Let’s ride our bikes, walk around, get burnt, surf in the in between sessions, stop at The Mermaid, get churros, run into friends and make new ones. Every day.
I hate it when I’m checking the water and some old kook is like, “your boyfriend out there?” and I am like, “um, no.”
