Hangin' Out, from the Rogue's notes.

Skated into late take-offs to git 'em. Little right here, little right there. Holiday's break, 6/14/2018.

"It's sort of like a tribe, a group of friends 
you see all the time. You travel with them, 
you break bread with them. You're part of a
family in a sense. That's what surfing is..."

   Only one day out. Work around of the heavy rains from last weekend and earlier in the week. Clear evening. Very clean. Knee highs maybe. No push. Just break and die. Nice night though. Water had the slightest chill at 68F. Offshore winds light at about 5 knots. Got rid of the full suit.  Hangin' out with my nephew Cameron. Gettin' ready to head out to Californ-I-A to pursue his music biz dreams. Small surf made it easy to relax, catch a few rides, and kick around his plans. Chill sesh.






   Warm weather now startin' to hit. First somewhat clean, albeit small swell. Troegs First Cut Mango IPA was the perfect complement. Celebrating the newest hop crops of the season, First Cut pours a clear amber-orange with a finger and half eggshell white head. Notes of caramel malts, and grapefruit in the aroma. Mango forward with honey and biscuits in the taste. Nice, fresh, summer fruit taste with a 45 IBU, bitter-crisp finish. At 6.2%,  this was not an overly heavy beer. Very pleasant for the season. Rated a B+/A-.
