I surfed the 9-foot 6 today. I had all the wax stripped off at last week and was going to take it over to look at having it fixed for a little bit of delamination but my nephew surprise me with a visit in town from the East Coast (his work had him fly out for some supervisor training) and he called me a few days ago out-of-the-blue unannounced. So I decided to pull it off the rack and wax it up again so we can both paddle out on longboards, my two longboards. He'd never been surfing before, it was his first time. He's back home now and I was going to take the 9-6 out for one last surf and then set it out in the sun to scrape the wax off again, but I've decided to leave the wax on it and maybe surf it a little bit more this summer. I've pretty much decided that I've moved over to the shortboard as my all-the-time board now. But there's nothing like taking a longboard out on small days like today. Longboards rule. #longboardsrule #surfing #summersurf #california #firsttimesurfing #gypsysurf (at The La Jolla Shores) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1SIAtzlq2I/?igshid=ihzf2bkulz
