Post birthday outing


My birthday passed without any surf. But I was still jonesen for some board riding action. The next best thing to surfing is skateboarding. I don't do it all that much but it is still a treat to be able to get into some concrete waves. The fam and I set out to a skate park in East Lansing--Michigan's state capital. After about an hour of driving I dropped in to a nice 6 foot wall at Ranney Skate Park. I spent the most time in the 6 foot section that was sort of L shaped because it was really smooth with nice corners and an extension. It was the closest thing to a wave this weekend. There was also a tear-drop pool that went from 6 to 8 feet. Zelda caught the bug too!

Very nice, you need to do something to scratch the itch because the lake sure isn't doing it right now. I have a parking ramp and a long board to introduce you to. Super fun! jb

I am game for the parking ramp. That brings back memories.
