Score Up North

A few of us decided to ditch the daily doldroms last week for a last minute pounce on a modest south swell. Years of doing this paid off once again as we surfed our brains out all day and made it home for work by 6:00 the next morning.

J took some pictures and wrote a little recap at My Eyes Won't Focus. Below: Reaping the rewards via noodle arms and a beautiful sunset.

"What Coast?"

We recieved this email this morning and I enjoyed it so much that I thought I would share it here. After a busy, hectic start to the summer at the Shop, I needed a good laugh to loosen up a bit.

"Dear Moron, we see that you have made a puzzling selection for your shop name. It is obvious that you do not understand the meaning of the word coast. Based on choosing the number three, you are obviously thinking of east coast, west coast, lake coast. I would offer the Gulf coast is eminently more entitled to the appellation of third coast.

It would behoove you to go to school and learn geography or at least change the name of your shop. Rarely have I seen such a blunder as this. However, according to Merriam Webster, a coast is the land near a shore. I would put it to you that all lakes have coasts. Any of the one thousand lakes of the original 13 colonies would qualify for the third coast long before your state was admitted to the union in 1837 as the 26th state.

Sadly, I doubt you will rise to the occasion to correct this monumental error.

Perhaps you are using coast as a verb and not as a noun as an indication of your third attempt to coast through life with this shop.

Respectfully your friend,
Bob "Cazh Dude" Saunders"
