Hey @creatr. Thanks for stopping by. The yellow board guy's name is Glen and he was our neighbor. He's a 62 year old 12 year old. The most stoked guy in the world about surfing. He dresses like santa on Christmas and the kids love it. Take care!
One Christmas I pinned a Santa cap to a hood and went out surfing. It was a traffic stopper, with people parking and watching for a while. Must be the long white beard... Or is it the fat belly? ;D
Where do you usually surf? I grew up in Huntington/ Newport and went to college in San Diego. Lived for a stint in Hawaii and Costa Rica. I have my favorite spots in each...but they are are similar and feel the same, I love it.
I consider my "home break" to be a small cove in Carlsbad.
There is a spot at the bottom of the stairs designated by the words "rainwater, dolls, laziness" that has been my launch point for many an exciting adventure ( see the link below ).
The cove is just south of a reef called "Terramar," which is a point break that peels both ways.
Sadly enough, I have been terribly busy trying to make a living selling a life-saving health product that I invented, and so have not been getting to the beach remotely often enough in the last few years.
We're trying to arrange to move closer to the beach in the hope of remedying that problem! :D

Very Cool. I wish i was there right now. No ocean close enough for me right this second.
I hear you. Im in California now but its cold!!!
I'd love to try surfing sometime! Nice pics. Upvoted and followed :)
Thank you. Its very fun and great exercise!
Wow, so sorry I didn't see these sooner... @daveks sent me your way!
I already follow you, but we haven't crossed paths for entirely too long...
Thanks for these awesome shots! I'll try not to feel too bad for you, considering where you obviously got to hang out!
BTW, the guy in the yellow board shorts could be me... in another life! I have a long white beard as well... And I can dream, right?
😄😇😄

Glen sounds terrific! :D
I have played Santa as well... On and offshore.

Awesome! Im going to surf in Oceanside tomorrow. Maybe I'll see you out there some time.
That would be great!
Look for the more or less blind surfer with the long white beard and no wetsuit... ;)
Good man! I'm half blind too. Got shingle in my left eye lest year. I see two waves coming at me instead of 1.
