Tahoe to San Diego to Mammoth
So last week Suzy and I went down route 1 for the first time. Saw some elephant seals fighting, and malting their skin which reeked extremely bad. On the way down to see Suzy's aunt and uncle in Newport Beach we had some serious issues with our brakes. The next morning we brought it to a shop in SD and had to get basically everything to do with the brakes fixed.
While that was getting fixed we stayed with Ben & Stacy in Pacific Beach. Ben sent his regards to everyone here at porters and was a little disappointed that I was the only one to come visit him since he moved down there. Suzy and I got to ride some bikes around the boardwalk which was super fun, thanks to Ben & Stacy. Then I had a little surf session with Ben in the afternoon.
Little did I know I was wearing Matt Connelly's wetsuit inside out the whole time. I realized that about half way through the session then Ben started calling me inside out boy. Ben and I also managed to catch the same wave and throw a stinger up top mid surf. It was pretty sweet I wish we had a picture of that. I broke my GoPro case this winter otherwise I would of been wearing it.We partied the night away and the next day had some breakfast and beers with Suzy's Duke buddy. By the way I think happy hour starts at 10:00 in SD.
Then it was off to Mammoth for the last day of shredding with Ben & Stacy. It was pretty fun I never skied with Ben so that was a treat. Mammoth was open at 7:30 and closed at 1:00 so it was a pretty early day on the hill. I got some sweet GoPro footage of Ben doing some bumps & ski ballet. I did not get a chance to edit it yet but it will be up by the end of the week. After Shredding we hit up some hot springs right outside Mammoth it was the perfect ending to a sick road trip. enjoy the pics and the video will be up soon.
