I got a phone call from Bill Pearson Sunday morning, saying that he and the family were traveling to Doheny State Beach in Dana Point for the Hobie Cat 40th anniversary Regatta. I had no plans for the day, so I loaded up two surfboards and told Bill that I will meet him there.
It was a beautiful day at the beach, and the view was accessorized with 50+ Hobies. Bill & family were there, as well as Dan Delave & Eileen, Jeff Newsome, and Steve Leo. The Hobies were waiting on the beach for wind and the waves looked tasty. Dan said he wished he brought his board, so I said, ‘I brought two!’.
The water and waves were great. I came in for a break then went back out – the waves were that good. Then the noodly arm syndrome set in so I caught the last ride to shore. Dan was already onshore (he did not take a break) and was very grateful for having a chance to surf. Hobies were already on the beach but I was so tired that I decided to leave before the awards presentation.
I need to surf Doheny more often if waves are always that good.
