Greetings from the road! The trip has been going delightfully so far, we spent yesterday down at the tidal flats in Bellingham and got a little bit of filming done. It's pretty nice to just be along for the ride and not have to think about anything. They've got a fairly thorough itinerary put together for the trip and it sounds like we'll be seeing quite a few different beaches in the next few days. Hanging out with these guys makes me realize how different wakeboarding is than other sports. Since only one person can ride at a time behind the boat things always seem to be in a time crunch and no matter how hard you try every wakeboard film trip seems to always have some sense of stress or urgency.

With skimboarding since everyone can spread out and take turns, and since its hard for a two inch deep tide pool to get choppy, there almost seems to be an overabundance of time. These guys are really fun to hang out with and they are pros at finding good ways to kill time. Yesterday it was super windy out and we had a contest to see who could run the furthest down the beach diving in and out of a hula hoop as it rolled down the beach. I haven't run in a long time and the hula hoop probably made it almost 3/4 of a mile down the beach. I almost didn't make it that far. Anyways, when the biggest challenge in 5 days is trying to come up with games you can play to kill time, life is pretty good.

I quickly realized yesterday how much I miss Bellingham, its awesome to see everyone cruising around town riding bikes and just enjoying the weather at a slow pace. Everyone likes sleeping in around here, so I spent my morning drinking coffee and playing around with the camera on Emile's computer. I've attached what I feel is my finest photo of the morning. I hope all is well back home, talk to you the next time I get WiFi.
