The great recession hits the strand - Man, the construction market ain’t what it was 5 years ago. The black and rusty racks on my fading F250 super duty seem to have my surfboard strapped to them more often than two by fours these days. Kids growing up, house in foreclosure- barely got the time or means to meet up with juan to score (no more house calls). Buts its not all a sob story, the surf has been good and the kids are still giving the kooks from down south hell for invading our beach. The other day I saw a kid waxing the windshield of some guy from LA’s car who decided to suit up in front of the ‘comber. Not only did I give the kid a brew and some weed for his good deed, I also taught him the old ball bearing and wallet under the carseat trick. Not a bad way to get a six pack for you bros. Kind of like that old proverb about teaching someone to fish…. If I see any of the Malibu crew up here in north coast this winter, please make sure to park on Ocean and not in the lots- work is slow and my pipe is empty.
