developed: a photo dump!

happy monday! this weekend, once again tom and i had the most magical day surfing. the sun was out, the water was actually pretty warm and we both got a bit sun kissed, it was marvelous. it was actually hard to get off our blanket in the sun. well, any who, we finally finished up the roll of film from our new underwater camera!
i think i was a mermaid in another life. me + sea + sun + waves = love.
this is the closest picture of me surfing, it is super hard to capture when we are both going for a wave but one day!
beach bum style!
yerp, that's me, floating like a little buoy in some of the sharkiest coast line... but really im in 3ft water
im pretty awesome at body surfing
yes, that is a box of pizza that we brought with us to the beach. you know your jealous.  


 we did bring our digital camera with us and i wanted to share my favorite one.... so just a little behind this picture if you are wondering what the hell i am doing. there is no shower or hose at this beach so if you want to wash off you have to bring your own water. we found this coleman cooler at the thrift store and we fill it up with hot water and it is the perfect shower after a long surf session!

 we are pretty stoked that the film came out. i just love film, don't you?

two if by sea

don't think i know what your thinking?!?! you dirty birds! haha...but seriously, sorry, to disappoint, there will be no nude surfing pictures ;D maybe another time...hmmm right...hehe. anywho, tom and i woke up early morning friday, hopped in our little bug and drove to an oh so secret spot called bolinas which is about an hour and a half drive from home. why is it secret? who knows but the locals sure as hell don't want anyone to know about it. most of the signs are taken down so you would have no clue about the place but if you do...it is kinda nice.
 before our excursion into the sea tom needed to get some banana fuel and while at the cash register i saw this banana flavored tootsie pop!?!?! it tasted like a banana chip which didn't float my boat so tom got to enjoy it instead, either way i was super excited to see a new flavor.

the waves were perfect and small. they could have used a bit more umph but it was really really fun. it was my first time surfing at this spot and i hadn't been there in 10 years. i think it is my new favorite spot :) HOWEVER, while surfing, we caught a glimpe of a black fin! boy did my heart start racing! but living by the coast and surfing you quickly learn what type of fin to look out for and this was some kind of porpoise but still it still makes you want to run out of the water screaming.
after our session we dressed and walked along the coast enjoying the beautiful beach.

we both were starving so we headed to the marshall store and gobbled up oysters and fish tacos, twas extremely good and hit the spot.

we found a super cheap hotel and plan on making a wonderful weekend by the sea sometime in the very very near future.
