Malibu Cruzen
So we have been kinda slow blogging for the first few days... sorry. Its has been one adventure after another. We finally are here in Malibu at the moment scoring some perfect logging waves. The road trip started off wobbly as the tire guy forgot to bolt on the right front tire. Next we rolled into Ventura as the breaks were going out. Souper Dave was an excellent host as we managed to get pretty loose on Saturday night at the bar he works at. Sunday was spent in the Sears Parking lot, then early beers with friends. We ended up styled out in Solimar, drinking with all the Jims, trading boards and mucking around in the playfull surf. After the beers we were not about to jump back into Black Betty, so we polished off another 30 pack and talked story.
After a restless night of camera man snoring we made it to the BU. Perfect logging surf for the flock. Waylon had met up with us and was locking into some nice little peelers. Parking lot good times, people watching all day. If you see Black Betty around dont be afraid to go up and try out a boards. People seem to have been enjoying the sluttyness of our boards.
Today we woke in our mobile apartment to some squaking crows, a bit seedy after another 30 pack dissapeard in the campsite darkness. We decided to UPS our cameraman back to SC as sometimes excess baggage can hinder a stealthy traveler.
Plenty of interesting characters along the way stop by Black Betty for a chat or a surf if you see us around.
Here is a pic of Black Betty getting her brakes on. The one below is Nick hung over in the parking lot waiting for the diagnosis.
