From Ryan...

Hi Paul,

I'm back in San Diego now but to answer your question I was out on our Ericson 38.

My wife Nicole came up to Santa Barbara and joined me for a week. Here's a pic you might like of Nicole 4th Gear Flyin' a few weeks ago. She's a school teacher in the winter and a San Diego ocean lifeguard in the summer.

Today was EPIC mat surfing in San Diego at a lined up and very long right. I hope the swell's reaching you too...

Did I tell ever you the story of the jet-ski assisted step-offs my friend and I tried with the mats on the biggest day of last winter?

Ryan
