Part 4
<pMonday, January 27th, 2014.
The beginning of the second week of good, solid surf.
This was the day we began hearing the question, ” Doesn’t anybody work in this town?”.
But we all knew the answer was, no. Not when we finally get surf.
All those saved up sick days get cashed in and flimsy excuses are made.
We all know Paul Ruben’s a hard working dude, seen it first hand.
But he always finds a way to be in the mix.
We didn’t know if this was the same swell, or the next one, or what.
But at this point it didn’t matter, they just kept rollin’ in.
There’s always a lot of familiar faces, but this board was unfamiliar to us.
Seems to work pretty well….
There were a lot of good surfers out this day.
And some ballet moves….
And while it was still quite crowded, this type of activity was fairly uncommon.
Possibly due to this wise old adage that one of the local boys saw fit to paint on his ride.
Nicely done..
Speak of the devil, this local boy was shredding it up and having a blast doing it.
Simon Murdoch, pushing the limits of his wave riding vehicle.
The only way to find the limits are to keep pushing untill you find them….
Also in attendence was one CJ Solo, cruising through sections with a smile.
A stylish long boarder, Dos Pueblos surf team memberTrae Candy
caught some nice set waves on a thruster.
Another up and coming youngster, Abby Brown, was out getting some too.
She was trying out a bunch of different boards this day.
Even taking the finless Rabbits Foot out for a spin, literally…
Evidentally, she left her dolphins down at Rincon….
Sitting all alone, way up top, was Mr. Wayne Rich.
And when the set waves came, he had first dibbs.
Simon decided to take the finless for a spin.
The finless aspect allows for some unorthodox maneuvers.
As the sun set, the colors got amazing.
The waves kept coming and we kept shooting.
Well after the sun disappeared, Murdoch paddled out for the maiden voyage of his brand new
White Owl Stubbie. Baptism at dusk.
The hoots were flying as he dropped into a nice one.
The next evening, January 28th, and a lot of the same folks were on hand to enjoy
the lingering swell.
Abby Brown was back for more….
As was Simon Murdoch.
And a number of other talented surfers.
Like Dennis Rizzo.
And Daniel Graham.
Abby won the Wahine division in the 2014 Rincon Classic and she is just getting started.<.
If she keeps hanging out with this guy, she’ll get exposed to lots of breaks
and different types of boards.
This evening Simon was enjoying his Piggy Back.
And we’re still not done…..the waves keep coming.
