Surf zone practice

Old ladies can dream, too, can't they?! 

  Big J......are you making a pass at me 

Big J......are you making a pass at me 

Yes, you betcha I would be making a pass IF I weren't as old as your mother. I guess I need to get a copy of "Dating for Dummies" that's written for seniors! Then I need to introduce you to my daughter. 
 
But, we digress...

As a kayaker first and one who has taken a surf zone class from the best, a required piece of equipment should also be a helmet.  Getting hit with your boat and/or equipment (or that of fellow paddlers) and, yes, even hitting the water hard can be injurious.  As a matter of fact, in the surf zone class, we weren't allowed to have so much as a water bottle exposed on the deck of the kayak.

Surf zone isn't my cup of tea, but I heartily endorse taking classes or engaging in practice sessions for your safety and that of those on the beach, too. I might be interested in practicing in an SOT but, most likely, would remain an NCKA photographer on the beach!

Mooch, Ever heard the older the violin the sweeter the music?

Just curious Mooch ... what was the first line out of your mouth when you met this cutie white water goddess?

he said,   ummmm, hmmm, your names mooch, what's mine?   I mean yours...Aw, heck let's just go make out!

Works every time!

I like that - short , simple and direct 

I keep thinking about that cell phone commercial where the kid calls his fav 5 to get a line for the 2 chics he sees in the fast food place.  He gets a line, but he also gets a soda thrown on him ...



You know Mooch, just like you have a confidence lure, you need a confidence line.  Once you have that, you're half way to a limit!!!

 Mooch,
 This is a sweet opportunity! Ever surf kayak with a babe on a tandem?    make sure you are in the back, as you start down the face of the wave and it starts to curl, swing the front of the boat into the curling white water. Usually flushes them off and they get the maytag treatment. Swoop in for the rescue, laughter begins, and youre in business.   Let me know if you want to borrow my tandem with the armor all finished seat well.

you guys are killin me

Pillar Point Lagoon is a good place to practice in the surf. Once you make sure the swells aren't above 6-8 feet, it's normally like a big pond. There can be a two foot dumper, which is good practice for timing, and also spilling one or two footers in the kelp bed that's good practice for surfing and breeching and side surfing. Park by the green pier and paddle and portage in.
  By the way, I'm pretty sure this isn't the only website Mooch visits regularly!

Back to the White Water Goddess rejection 
I pretty sure Mooch can impress her to the 50% level if he wins the 2007 Mavericks surf contest wipeout award using that big banana!

Just wear your speedos and you won't have to say a thing.

I asked her if she knew how to tie a palomar knot   

oh, great!  so now she thinks you're into bondage.... 

Well I'm glad there is some interest. Mooch, can you do me a favor before you book a date? Could you run it by me. I want to make sure I'm off duty that weekend.  Me being a firefighter and all, I got that goofy schedule and all, so I work some of the weekend days.  If you want, I can pm my schedule to you. Just give me a month your looking at and I'll know my schedule. Thanx!

jonesz - go ahead an PM me your schedule and we'll go from there.

I'll do a poll as well - so we can get as much people involved

Sounds good. Can you narrow it down to a month or two that your looking at? It would be a little easier for me to send.
Thankx
