Back at it

Went up to Tahoe for a few turns this weekend. Drove up Saturday and hit Kirkwood and got some icy cold turns. Decided it was good enough to stay and spent the night in south lake.

With our new and improved passes we decided to mix it up and hit heavenly on Sunday. Rode the lift with a patroller who has been working there for 44 seasons. He told where to find some fresh and we did.

Another lovely NorCal weekend.

Jamey and Dave

Down here in Baja for a shoot. It's been great to catch up with some of my old pals jamey and dave from my days working here. I can't believe it has been nearly ten years!

When I was 23 working here after college Dave and Jamey took me under their wing. They watched out for me like I was one of their own. They also were there as I started to really surf. Jamey let me borrow her board for my first few sessions and even picked up a board for me in San Diego way back when.

At that time they were living on a parcel of land with views of the ocean. They had an outdoor kitchen and a few tents. In the last ten years they planted a garden that is on the edge of becoming a small farm, they've built a house, and are raising a family. It is great to see all the growth.

We all headed to the beach last night. Dave and I rode some fun rights in warm water while Jamey and the kids played on the beach. I took out Jamey's 8'0" Ellington and it was as reliable as ever.

After surfing we went out to dinner and the conversation flowed like old times. Jamey said it, there are some people you can pick right back off where you left off.

I left late and drove 1.5 hours back to where we are shooting. It made me think the same thing I always think about. Time flies and life is all about the people you share it with. It was great to share another baja night with Jamey and Dave.

J and D!! See you soon!!
