good evening. even though the waves are small in town, all you have to do is drive around the corner to sandy beach and score. yeah, the waves were super fun and clean yesterday and today. it was like paradise out there. made me feel like i was in high school again swimming through the shorebreak….
ok, i drive through the parking lot at sandy’s. this guy was selling coconuts on the grassy area. i really wanted one so i pull up to ask him how much. he told me $3 and i told him “no thank you”…. $3? i could buy some gas, take a scenic drive into the mountains, and pick my own coconut. i wanted to go back to the guy and tell him that i wasn’t a tourist so better go easy before i call the cops. yeah, you can’t just set up shop on the beach and sell stuff. this ain’t bali.. and $3 for a coconut is a rip off….
i always keep my mask and fins in the car so i figure go check it out. yeah, the water is always clean at sandy’s. i didn’t have my spear so of course, a huge ulua swims right in front of me, then a couple of uhu’s, then a school of 20lbs awa’s. all in 20 minutes time. it’s so weird how they know you don’t have a spear for some reason. i quit diving sandy’s because there just isn’t any fish out there anymore. but after seeing what i saw, i’m going back for some sashimi…. but with my luck, no fish will be around…. oh, i just ended up diving for fishing lead and lures. lead ain’t cheap now days so if i give this to some fisherman, he’d be stoked…. anybody want it? and there’s a lot more out there….
got this email from garut today “yea,bra! hows your life over there bro?? check out this photo.. glenn surfboard so sick bro, its was magic on it.”
and last, alyssa just came back from japan. she called me and was going on and on about how fun it was. i believe. check out her blog for some cool photos… CLICK HERE FOR ALYSSA’S BLOG….
