Most Importantly - after almost 60 years, I am finally able to confront my hideous nickname without wanting to go off the cliff at Black's [naked and on fire]

Emma asks Daddy Jeff:
"BA says that when he was my age, today would have been the warmest it ever got at The Shores, even in the middle of summer - does BA EVER exaggerate?"

RJ: Let me guess, are you watching the wave, or??

I was lucky to have surfed with Tom Stone on the North Shore, when I watch Tom Matera I think about days long gone -
keep it up Tommy M, it's a pleasure to surf with you!

How many times - over the years - have we stopped in mid-stroke to enjoy Skip Frye's classic style?


I risked my life to ensure I captured - on film - a cheater five up close and personal!

Eddie Moore and I have surfed together for moore than 40 years
Eddie has had many chances to split my melon, this is just one of at least 300 opportunities...and one of my moore close calls -
According to the AARP, I'm not quite as nimble as I used to be?

A Teachable Moment
Below:
Thanks to Greg and his friends for agreeing to demonstrate - in real time - how backing out of a wave can make the wave crumble / become unmakeable

I have had the pleasure, err not so much of a pleasure in our early years, Skip a PB Toad, and I was just a Shores kook, of watching Skip surf since the early sixties.

This was supposed to be a Surfer Mag cover photo - but with my lack of timing - the photo was ruined by an inconsiderate life guard's truck [the truck was inconsiderate, not the life guard]

I met Teddy many years ago and have always enjoyed surfing with him and his wife.
Whenever I start feeling sorry for myself, and the annoying physical problems that are really coming to fruition as I enter Life's Red Zone, I think about a few of my friends - all of whom have suffered injuries far more devastating than mine - then I come back around to the realization that my life ain't so bad after all - thank you Teddy and friends - Keep Paddling!
