Surf's Up


I had lunch yesterday with my big little brother and he was in a really good mood. So good that he played along when I whipped out my camera. I had the not so usual pleasure of snapping away and he not mugging at the camera. He probably won't thank me but I could not resist putting together this montage.
I've known since Dave was 7 years old and hanging ten on his skateboard that the kid would be a surfer. From San Diego's Ocean Beach to La Jolla, to Pismo and Maui and back, he has always had his surfboard ready to go.
Dave's pushing 46 now and a teacher in the Central Valley about as far as you can get from a wave and still be within driving distance for a day trip. But like clockwork, once a month he loads up his board, heads for the coast and hangs ten for all he's worth. Surf's UP, Bro.

How lucky you are! A little brother of your very own. I'm stuck between two sisters in front and back, no brothers and have always missed that relationship, whch I assume must be very special. However, I did gift my daughter with this-a younger brother-and it has saved her bacon several times. The photos are just beautiful. Thank you, Anne.

Annie Jeffries said...

Oh Yes. I did. Back in high school. Wiped out a lot but it was fun.

Hey, this is a terrific montage. Has your brother seen it?

Annie Jeffries said...

Don't know Susanna. His computer kind of moves in slo-mo. He and Yo will be by sometime tomorrow so I'll show it to them then.
