This week while at Janene’s I picked it up and gave it a whirl. My book selection lately [...]

Ok – so this has become more of a surfing blog in the last few weeks, but I guess that’s where my head is at as we travel in this part of the world.
For those who care here are some pics of the places we have been surfing… For those who don’t… you know what [...]
