Wahiawa, Oahu.

Lunch with Jock Sutherland at Sunny Side Grill. He eats the turkey sandwich straight up with ice water. I like the pork tofu with a large coke. I don't have a North Shore surf spot named after me.

September Sessions

New Jersey can offer some off-shore mornings with some fast waves. But so does Hawaii. This was us out today at Meters, Seaside Park, NJ.

Bee-lined it to Seaside Park last night to Marc's beach house. Went to his favorite dive bar called 'Captain Hooks' and watched him hustle 3 guys on the ping pong table, and had some chicken wings and beer.

5:30 am dawn patrol the next day. The water dropped at least 10 degrees overnight: it was pretty cold.

A sausage and egg sandwich, a coffee, and two hours later, I was back at Einstein at 10:30am to do endo.

Marc's Beach House

Marc has a pretty nice beach house overlooking the break. He also has a pretty sparse refrigerator. Which of these food groups would you call dibs on for dinner?

Venice Beach

Back in the day near my place off of Pacific Avenue.

First surf in 3 months. Seaside Park, NJ.

Clay let me borrow his car so I could get wet for the first time in 3 months. The drive was 1.5 hours each way, but was very worth it. Surf was about waist high, but doable on the fish at Seaside Park, NJ. The remnants of Hurrican Ophelia were apparently long gone.

Thanks to Marc Heimmel, M.D. for hosting me at his beachhouse (see pic) and showing me the breaks. He showed me some pics from yesterday, when the hurricane was here. "It was pretty fun. Too bad you weren't here yesterday."
