Ciao 2017

Another year of waves, wind, flat spells, solid surf, kiff sunrises and sunsets, and all sorts of stuff in between. Here's a look at the year gone by.

Sometimes so big they went left instead of right....

There were waves at the end of the road...

Ad there there was the ever present wind. Cos what would PE be without wind?

A few weird things came past the bay....

Ad the usual things swam in it.

New waves were discovered...

And good old faithfuls still remained

Plenty of good days to take a walk on the boardwalk...

It was a year of creating legends,

As 2017 rolls by into the sunset, and 2018 dawns, may your year be full of waves and happiness  for if we could all just smile even a half as much as Star the world would be a better place.

We live in a kiff lil town, and it would be that much kiffer if 2018 delivered some smoking surf to us. Let's live in hope!
