Sissyfisher + friends

Rick, the SissyfisherKing is currently down mexicoway with his homies Gabe and Ean. We connected up Monday night for some wicked Chilés Rellenos + chelas with the ladies and little ones (ours being still in seedling format). Dinner was civil and restrained. After grub, the boys retired to the livingroom for a full on bro-down nerd fest, as we talked blog-related schmata and plotted the next day’s surf activities while I heavy-petted and studiously-vetted the various surf vehicles the crew had slogged all the way down here from Oregon. Rick’s MCaro-shaped round-pin quad was pretty amazing in and out of the water. Drop in, set the rail and hum. dialed.

Tuesday morning we reconvened for a dawn patrol sliding session at my favoritest rocky left point break La Chuleta. Afuckingmazing, as usual. That place is blessed with serious surf/stoke/prana. We all got in some quality slide time. I took an hour or so out to snap some jammies from the boat. These are two of my favs, not intentionally out-of-focus, but what are commonly referred to as “happy accidents”.

So cool. Good on you guys for the hook-up. I’m always afraid that if I meet people I know from the innernets, they’ll turn out to be nuts or something. Or that they’ll find out that although pleasant online, I’m actually petulant and drunk most of the time in real life. :-)

Hey David. yeah that’s sometimes the case, but the surf blogerati are actually some cool peeps. I’ve met JP (surfy surfy), Ryan Tatar (shakasandsinglefins), Rob70 (70%), Stevey (stevey.com) and now Rick (sissyfish). all standup cats and cool in their own right (blog or no blog, drunk or not drunk). there’s so little alternative wave riding culture down here, it’s a breath of fresh air to hook up with similarly dialed in peeps. and it gets tiring taking photos of young groms on stickered up potato chips with ugly rash guards.

It’s been so great to hang with Ed down here. David and Ed, we need to organize a big surf blog summit at David’s new beach house up north. Wait. Not sure if Ed or some of the southern crew can handle the ice cream headaches… I don’t think I’ll be able to either for a while!

Thanks for the pics, Ed. Looking forward to a couple more hangs before leaving town!

I like Rick’s idea. Now that the house is done (well, it’s getting painted as I write), I’d be happy to host a meetup in the Cold! I better get to tuning up my surfing because there’s a nothing like a few weeks in tropical waves to advance one’s skills (Rick) and I want to represent!
