omg! today was yet another beautiful summer day! super blue sky, clean warm water, fresh air, and good waves! surfed all day long! left my house this morning at 6:30am, and just got home now at 7:30pm. super sunburn, super satisfied, and super happy. surf, rainbows, niu valley, surf, free dive, rainbows, and home. i’m going to take a cold shower and cool down. and probably fall asleep at 8:30pm.

yes, i had to go back for a second round. it was so good. this food goes very well with beer but i didn’t drink beer because i knew i had to work all day today. yeah, i’m pretty serious when it comes to work. but hey, i bet a cold beer would taste pretty dam good with this!
