Sloth = Beachgirl

It's been HOW LONG since my last post? Not to mention, HOW LONG since I've been in the ocean? UGH, I feel like sloth. My elbows and my neck rash is better, but I came down with an ear infection several days ago. Really sux. This no-exercise routine is definitely not doing my body any good. I suppose I could clean up around the apartment... Eh, the mess doesn't bother me. It'll just get messed up again anyways, right? hehehe...

I miss being out on the water, that feeling of catching the wave, having Marlon yell at me about everything that I'm doing wrong on Jane, being confused about what the heck made me fall of the wave, etc... I'm giving my body one more day of rest. Then back in the water I'll go.

All beat up...

No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I'm finally back home and recovered.. sort of. I left last Friday for a kiteboarding trip to Baja and got back late Tuesday night, then off to San Francisco for a conference. My flight was actually Tuesday afternoon, but I decided to blow off the flight so that I could stay down in Mexico one more day. Hehe.. Yes, such a loyal trusty employee, I am. It was well worth it though.

I've come back with some minor injuries though that are preventing me to surfing for a few days - couple of blisters on my hand that ripped from the kitebar - now they're infected, a couple of cuts on the bottom of my foot from stepping on a rock on the beach - I'm limping now, a BIG 10 inch rash across my neck from the wetsuit (yes, it looks like a big ole hickey across my neck), and tendonitis on both my elbows from kiting 5 days straight. So nothing much to write about in terms of surf (since the surf was flat where I was) except that I'm now jone-sin' for a great surf session....
