Diana always tries to surprise me with presents but she always fails. I always figure it out. This year for my birthday it was different though. She had told me I had something in the mail coming my way, so I thought it was new Rainbow flipflops and I just let myself think that. Well, the morning of my birthday Diana told me we were going to spend the day at the beach, which was very exciting to me because I knew the surf was up. We were going to go by my mom’s house to get my surfboard, but we had to go by the Waterboyz first because I needed some new racks for the car, (the ones I had stolen from Allen forever ago are really torn up). While we were at Waterboyz, of course I spent some time looking at the longboards and dreaming about owning a 9-footer. Diana told me she had to go to the bathroom (she does that a lot these days), and she said, “While I’m gone, go ahead and pick out any board you want!” I was like, “WHAT?!”
So, Diana finally surprised me, and now I am the proud owner of my first ever longboard and my first ever brand new surf board (I’ve only ever had used ones). I just want to apologize to all the other guys out there because my wife is the BEST! :-)
Here are some pictures of the day:
Yep, its a 9-footer!
Very cool. How long did it take Diana to get a pic of you actually catching a wave? :) I was also rolling on the floor at the “height difference” pic. Too funny!!!! Glad you had a good B-Day!
He actually caught several waves, but seeing as how it’s been 3 years since he was able to surf very often, he’s “slightly” out of shape and he didn’t last very long out there before he had to come in for a break…and then another break…and then another break… ;-)
That’s fun!!!
