.all alone.

For the past 4 months I've been lying to myself, saying that I "surf by myself." In reality I can't remember the last time I had to paddle out by myself [it's been some time that I didn't have Dars, G., Delbert, Steve, or another "buddy" to paddle alongside]. This became abundantly clear when [due to the total lack of waves everyone stayed landlocked] I found myself paddling out [on a shortboard, nonetheless] alone.
I was about to paddle in, having given up on the concept of "shortboarding" for the morning, when Eddie paddled out. I stayed out for another 45 minutes working on my "backside" and talking story with him about how to woo women and about how certain people are worried about me. Go figure.

I guess this means that the 50/50 swell they forecasted won't come in [unless by some miracle it appears tomorrow]. All I can do is hope for bigger waves, and that haole Brian shows up to play with me tomorrow like he promised.
