Ocean Tables

Best mid week trip ever. I'm claiming it now. Connor, Jason and I split town for an impromptu Spoon delivery and board swap between some shops down south...and the final nail in the coffin, to hang out with Lightner for a bit...

We hit the road and went southward, through miles of beautiful sprawl.


Found Kyle on a sunny afternoon and went to the food store...where we found a new friend kickin' it on the sidewalk.


Lightner made us the most outrageous family style meal and watched The Innermost Limits of Pure Fun and Morning of the Earth...Dave Allee and Cam Oden joined us as well as KL's fantastic roommate. We all had plenty of food and it was the bomb. We were all more than impressed...

Then he put hand soap in the dishwasher and things got heavy.


We crashed to My Eyes Won't Dry 2 and woke up at the buttcrack of dawn to luck into some standup tubing combo swell a few miles from the pad. We only had one pair of fins and one handplane for the three of us so we rotated and proceeded to get unending tubes through the morning.


It was a ridiculous two days, and by far the raddest of short trips I've ever embarked upon...Big ups to the man in the shadows, Kyle Lightner...

lightner gets a C for Home Economics.

An A for cooking, but an F for putting hand soap in the dishwasher.

Average score: C.
