If you
haven't seen the footage of Dave and Phil's big Tavarua trip you have to get
down to the shop and check it out. I have to say that both of those boys have
come a long way in their surfing. I couldn't tell Dave Cropper from Jeff Booth
and Phil from any of those other hot surfers. And now their surf photography
has improved. Good stuff. That Big Cloud Break footage is impressive. I guess
Phil even paddled out into the line-up with a water camera and got the goods.
As soon as crop shoots me over an image or two the rest of the world will
see it here.
A couple of serious mentionable updates here. Some of you may remember last
month when Mark Jowett took a scare when his ticker wouldn't jump start. Well,
Mark is doing much better now. He's headed off to Mexico this week for some
R&R. Don't know how surfing Large Mexican Surf is Rest and relaxtion but
that's where he's headed. Meanwhile, Super Surf Mom Kim Grondin
is doing better after some major heart surgery this past week. If you wouldn't
mind saying a special prayer for Kim it would be greatly appreciated from
family and friends. Kevin and the troops are holding up fairly well while
Mom recuperates. We
wish her a full and speedy recovery.
Just another
reminder to all of us to watch out for each other and take care of each other.
We got
a lot of comments on the old photos from last week. So I think we'll run with
this Yesterday and Today concept for a while. I love seeing the old photos
as much as I do the new. So if you got any send em off to me directly. Ralph

Well,
that's it for now. See y'all next week.
Pray for Surf. Pray for Peace.

A friend
of mine sent me this from the left coast.It's mind blowing to think that the
sun rises out of the mountains over there, while here on the right coast it's
just the opposite. This would be an evening glass off for us. Either coast,
It's still a beautiful shot.
