April 2003 - I finally met up with another alt.surfing surfer, Mr. Jose Borrero. We had agreed to meet on Saturday morning at one of the spots I frequent. So I went out at the agreed upon time and there was nobody around who matched the Jose's description - a faded yellow wetsuit. Well I thought that he couldn't make it, or something else came up so I just went out surfing because the waves were super fun. When I got home and checked my email I saw one from Jose from late Friday night saying that he might have the SARS and wouldn't be coming, but that he might try and come Sunday. So Sunday I got up and checked the waves at the agreed spot and they looked ok, but I thought I might check some places further north, so I did a quick drive up north and saw nothing to interesting, so I headed back south and check the first spot again and it looked good so I decided to go for it. As I was walking down to the water, I noticed a single fin board leaning up against the life guard tower. Jose had said that he might be riding a single fin. I looked in the water, and there a bunch of longboarders north who were floundering around, and more longboarders to south also floundering, and there was one shortboarder straight out - but he wasn't wearing a yellow wet suit. As I was stretching this shortboarder caught a nice wave and thru a couple of of nice turns. So I jumped in the water and paddled out just a little up from this shortboarder, not wanting to get in his space. We each caught a wave or so, and I asked this shortboarder if he knew whose single fin board that was leaning up against the tower. He said it was his, and then I asked are you Jose ? while has asked if I was Nick. So after that we surfed for almost two hours and then the wind changed to onshore, so we both went in.
The AS Hub used to be found at http://altsurfing.org/ but the domain name ownership lapsed. Blame lemmings! |
