Back From Sayulita Mexico
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008
I took off for a week to surf in Sayulita, Mexico. I had a great time and vastly improved my surf skills. It’s not hard to improve when you’re a noob like me. I now better understand the proper technique for paddling and can stay out in the water much longer than I could before. I also learned that I was popping up onto the board entirely wrong. I was popping up way too late and not very smoothly. I practiced popping up long and hard, but still need to work on it a lot. Some day, I think I might actually become a surfer.
I arrived back in Colorado late yesterday afternoon. The weather was reporting snow in the mountains so I was stoked about riding today. However, much to my surprise, the A-Basin website isn’t reporting any new snow. With everything I need to get done now that I’m back in town, I decided to pass on boarding today. I think more snow is suppose to fall tonight, but I’ve got a 2:00 conference call tomorrow. No matter how hard I try, life still gets in the way of living.
While checking the snow report, I noticed that A-Basin closed their back bowls. I suppose it is getting late in the season, but it still made me sad. It really is coming to an end. I learned so much this season and I was just starting to figure some things out. I suppose there’s always next season!
