ugggh, it's end of april and snowing in seaside. Last night with wnw winds 25+ I surfed in ((((snow, hail, very hard ice pelets, during thunderstorms..)))) Perfect wind, but on the beach I could see about 50 seagulls coring a thermal over the beach....then I watched the news and it showed car lots with windows broken from hail and Ice balls....wth

anyways the riding was sweet, just smashing waves and huge airs...my top secret spot was perfect... took a little film durnig sunset, awesome reflections, I'll post them later...

then I spoke with the dudes at PKS and the water temps are pushing 70 degrees already....

I only ride Utah snow,,,,our concrete sucks, and this weather, minus the wind...."blows"!

I'm paying my weather dues too! I wore a beanie and snowgloves in the ocean to prevent the stinging feelings when the digits start warming up....

I need to make a sacrifice for good weather, I'm going to think long and hard, somethings got to give in, I love storms, I gotta do something....like kite surf in shorts and a t-shirt! Painful but perhaps it'll bring warmer temps....:flaming:
