A FABULOUS LONG WEEKEND
Pretty sure that I surfed my face off this weekend!
It was good to get away from the hot, hot city… and escape to my favourite place in the whole world… Tofino. It was cool, damp, and absolutely fantastic. 4 days of camping, surfing, and friends.
I’ve managed to get some sweet HD video footage together, so I’m going to work on editing all of that this week… so I’ll save a big post for later, but here are a couple images from our weekend.
It was foggy in the park pretty much the entire time we were there. Friday night Allan and I had a pretty epic 2.5 surf session till it was pitch black… smooth and glassy waves. Saturday was a 3-hour surf session with friends in the water… a bit foggy, small waves, but pretty clean. Sunday was another foggy session in the water but still good. And Monday afternoon before we left was a small session, not that great, a little blown out…
But does it matter? Nope! Because as long as I am surfing, I am a happy camper 
We went crabbing in the Tofino Harbour… and feasted on crabs all night. Delicious! Sooo good. Dungeness and Red Rock.
We also cooked up lots of delicious meals over the grill, not mention that the campfire ban wasn’t in effect in Pacific Rim, so we enjoyed some huge fires to keep us warm at night.
Overall, a great weekend. More photos and videos coming soon! And yes, some surf videos I know it’s been a little light around here lately…
