My New 7' Toy….

317

good evening. for the 30th day straight, what a nice day. woke up this morning without a cloud in the sky. no winds and perfect waves on the north shore. i took another day off and surfed in town. paddled out to bowls. the waves were small but it was as clean as it gets. crystal clear water and all i was thinking about was going diving. i haven’t surfed small waves in a while and i could barely pick up speed. i’m use to taking off and just getting barreled. i better practice small waves more often… it’s 8pm and i can see the waves around the island. buoy 1 came back up a little so tomorrow should be 3-5′ and epic on the north shore. it looks pretty dam good already. that’s where i’ll be. as for town, the south swell looks like it’s arrived. seen some nice clean waves peeling across bowls. sleep early because tomorrow will be epic all over. i got so much things going on now that i need more time to do everything i want to do in a day. why can’t we have 34 hour days? oh well, i’m going to maximize my day tomorrow, starting off with surfing. have a great night hope you get a good wave where ever you choose to surf…. goodnight….

check out my new 7′ toy. since i was 11 years old, i always dreamed of having a little dingy. a little little dingy that can go on my surf racks where i can just carry into the water. well, after years and years of looking and looking, i finally found one. this is a little 7′ livingston boat. the boat i have now is 14′ so this little thing is half the size. check it out…

i can carry this thing by myself no problem. how much did i buy it for? $200. yes, only $200. i found it on the internet and it was a steal… i also bought a little 2006 4hp yamaha 4 stroke engine to go with it. freaking can’t wait to use it… good for surf and good for dive. now i won’t ever have to paddle out to the far surf spots again. but this dingy can only carry 3 people so first come first serve….

put my diving stuff in already. i don’t think there’s enough room for another person. haha. anyway, my childhood dream finally came true. this set up with the motor costs $2,500 brand new. i got it for dirt cheap…. and this dingy stores standing up right next to my surfboards. now i can really surf and dive… so happy…..[:????????$B!r(B:][:????????$B!r(B:][:????????$B!r(B:]
