| Mushburger heaven. Holidays, 5/15/2014 |
Finally grabbed that first ride last week. Water in the mid-50s. 15-20kt on-shores made for mushy conditions without any power. Thigh high at best. So stoked. Had the Cuisin' OC weekend with some awesome Muscle laying rubber down Coastal Highway.

Able to go again Sunday afternoon. Blown out waist to chest. Picked up my "like-new" repaired 7'4" Shell. Not sure if it was the right stick for the smashed swell. Got rolled a few times.... like losing control of a jacked Chevelle SS. More rides. More stoke. Great to finally get back in. Nothing beats water time.

| Like-new. Stoke ready. |
The weekend's brew notes include a beer from
Bear Republic Brewing that was theme ready. Hop Rod Rye, an 8% ABV that will roll ya if you abuse it. Floral citrus notes with 80 IBUs of hoppy bite on the back end that will push you into a fish tail, SON! Poured a dark hazy brown with a two finger tan head. Really like these Rye IPAs. Rated this an A.

An up and coming D.C. (go Skins!) Brewery,
DC Brau Brewing is staying true to it's political following with a pretty good IPA known as The Corruption. At 7% ABV it is just above "sessionable" but packs plenty of piney citrus Columbus Hops at 80 IBUs. Nice amber hue with a solid 2+ finger, almost white head. Big malt spine with the hops muscling in the bitter bite at the end. Rated this six a B.
