West Coast In Flight
I recently flew to Palm Springs for a work conference, eTail West. An early morning plane flight gets me every time. I love feeling the earth drop away behind me as the plane lifts into the air, and the peacefulness of rolling clouds below. I was on the red eye, so I kept drifting in and out of sleep. But when we were close to landing, there was fog all around. I couldn’t see any landmarks other than mountain peaks jutting up from the fog like mounds of drowning ice cream.

When an unexpected offshore wind popped up last weekend, we headed down. The surf was chunky, choppy, and unforgiving, but it was nice to get out and get stoked for a bit. I caught a few really solid waves before my board popped me in the eye and I decided to take a break. It almost goes without saying that…
