days of the doc...

So I picked up my new doc today from amber and Jeff and the thing looks like a gem. On the way to shop I saw two of my favorite lil seal groms aydin and daniel. They were skating and looked bored so I asked them if they wanted to come along. We hopped in the tahoe and picked her up. Aydin happened to have a paint pen on him so I let the little guys go wild. pretty rad....-jake

Being a Bro

Telly made a star appearance in this video. He got one wave and even a clip of him shadow boxing. Stellar Jake. It's from the Volcom we did a few weeks ago in O-side check him out

At first we embedded this video but since the annoying music started playing everytime we went on the blog page, we decided to post a link instead. Feel free to watch it.

More about Yeserday

Well, since yesterday was so much fun, I decided to write a little on it. Cameron Faris picked me up at 5:15, we picked Cole up at 5:45, and were launching the ski by 6:30. Oceanside is always freezing and it when we stepped out of the car the thermometer read something like 45degrees. It was freezing. Cole and Cameron put on their 4/3s, booties, gloves, and hoods. I put on my 5/4 with booties gloves and hood and we were off to go search for waves. It was pretty high tide at first and the waves weren't cooperating. About halfway through, the waves started getting super fun. 3 foot peaks with noone around. We were practicing our airs and each of us got a few good ones. Cameron's ski reacted a little differently than mine and when I was pulling him, we had a little mishap. I mis-read a wave while trying to pull him into it and nearly died. We were in front of the wave this time and I tried to do a tail-whip and outrun the wave. This didn't work as good as I planned andme and Cole couldn't have been luckier. Somehow the ski turned a little bit at the last second and we didn't flip the thing. Everything was going good until Cameron took the wheel. Same thing happened to him a few minutes later. There was a 3 foot wave coming and he had just picked me up on the sled and Cole was on the ski with him. Instead of taking the thing head on, he decided to try to whip the tail around and head back in towards the beach. Well, the tail didn't really whip around and the wave caught us and the ski started riding the wave. Luckily, Cameron pulled us out of the sticky situation but Cole wasn't so lucky. His weak little muscles couldn't keep him on the ski and he fell off. We were all laughing so hard. Everything else went good and we each got a few good air sections and good waves.When we were all finished and done, we were picking up the boards that were anchored just passed the line up. Somehow, all of us leaned to one side of the ski and we all fell off. The anchor went right through my board, but once again, we all started laughing. It was a great trip and thanks again to Cameron for taking me and Cole. We had a blast and can't wait to go when the waves get big. Good learning experience though and now we feel more comfortable with each other.
