Lunch Breaks


what do you do on your lunch break...

Not everyday, but today at 1pm I went surfing until 2pm

On my paddle out, I see 'something' shoot through the wave in front of me... I barely saw it..

I paddled around and caught a couple,,,but I kept seeing fins in the water, too many to be sharks. But they were small, very dark, almost black...crazy precision in groups on waves!

I got out...I watch porpus surfing the same break I was...at least 100 of them.

FN nat geo moment!!!

Yes, My rut is pretty well padded :smug:

A lot of my job is responding :moon: , when it happens. The regular maintanence has become quick and easy over the years. I can walk away from the forum to respond to things without hesitation so it's all good !

7 - 3pm leaves me time after work to ride when the winds are there ! :P

You give new meaning to the term, " kiting with a porpoise " :singing:

One day a week I fly a kite at lunch... usually just a Rev. Building security has given me permission to use about an acre of grass though for my bigger kites behind the facilty... just waiting on a nice breezy day to break one out.

Charger 8, 12, 19
Scorpion 10, 16
And other foils...
