A young surfer from Santa Cruz, CA reportedly rode a wave estimated to be ~ 108 feet high on Dec 23rd in the Mavericks (Mavericks Beach) near Half Moon Bay. I'll bet you thatMike157 knows this guy! Our Mike is kinda like the dean of surfing in that area, an OG surfer who goes way back

Maybe goes pretty far back, but pretty much out of touch by now. So, Mat is writing my autobiography. The more I can pay him, the more he will embellish/fictionalize the story.A young surfer from Santa Cruz, CA reportedly rode a wave estimated to be ~ 108 feet high on Dec 23rd in the Mavericks (Mavericks Beach) near Half Moon Bay. I'll bet you that
. And no, he isn’t really writing my autobiography. That would be a rather thin book.

My response....... "never mind what I said before.....I love you "

From my limited experience, my friend, I feel like it’s a very thick book” ! Please take that as a compliment.Maybe goes pretty far back, but pretty much out of touch by now. So, Mat is writing my autobiography. The more I can pay him, the more he will embellish/fictionalize the story.

Yeah but….. nobody had invented the axle yet, so we had no idea what to do with it, except for rolling it down hill, to try to knock over a pyramid of beer cans.Actually, I heard he invented the wheel.

Yeah but…. Nobody had invented the Webber yet, so we didn’t know what to do with it except for melting bits of plastic, and listening to the drops make that “zip” sound, as they fell. I actually have a scar on my thumb from one of those hot, burning drops, landing on it.

Ha! Things do feel like that, sometimes, but as you know it’s the journey, not the destination. Though, a little less lard on on the ground and job, might help.You're too modest, Mike. You're a man, myth, legend!!!
