Why REI rocks

REI rocks. We all know that but I've just discovered a few more reasons why.

-They'll take anything back. Seriously.

-They've got cool travel articles at http://www.rei.com/learn/Travel on everything from combating jet lag to the basics on bouldering and top roping.

-They give their employees Christmas presents.

-They have a bitchin' outlet site. Get up to 50% at REI-Outlet! Always Cool! Always on Sale!

-If you click through from our site to buy something, a percentage of the sale will go to Surfari Collin. Really.

That rocks!

Lucky Hour

County Line Delivers at High-Noon

Good surf prevailed on Saturday morning with pulsing northwest swell building. It was a lazy start with light wind and water growing textured.

Sunset was working; a promising sign that just up the coast we would find fewer crowds and bigger surf... hopefully. With our fingers crossed we saw playful waves but not the size we had hoped for.

Checking a few spots on the way we thought we might have been shown up once again... but just as we pulled away from County Line a macking 7 foot set rolled through. There was a burst of laughter from the tailgating locals on the bluff as 70% of the line-up got drilled on the inside.

It looked like luck was on our side! We pulled over, suited-up and scrambelled over the rocks into the sweet sweet surf. The water was crystal clear and warm for February; the wind mellowed and an off-shore breeze picked up. Everyone surfing enjoyed 4 to 6 foot waves with plenty to go around.

The End
