I’m back home in SoCal and still picking sand out of numerous body orifices.

I?ll admit that I?ve always been the first guy to write off the surf on the East Coast?until yesterday.

I love my neighborhood coffee shop. It?s called ?The Pannikin? and is on the Coast Highway in Encinitas.

Here?s just one of my many surfing-based pet peeves?

Being the Online Editor for Transworld SURF, you’d think that I’d be more up in arms and raving about the Taj vs. Kelly debate (as seen on Tour Talk on this very Web site) that went down at the Boost Mobile Pro. But really, does it even matter?

Holy shit that was a long drive…
