Hi Paul,

Lightning strikes way off to the right, golden sunlight on distant mountains to the left. Note the surfboard riders position in #2. Shot with my ipad. Don’t know who the mat rider is.

My first go-out on the new Fatty was here a few days ago. Had a great time.
A peaceful and healthy year to you!

Peter

New Year's Eve ... Rob Style!

 

 

 

Paul,

 Ryman and I bodysurfing in a couple feet of water. It was a pure Stoke Fest!

 These where all shot by Mark.

 Deposited on the beach 🤙🏼!

Followup...

Paul,

The New Year has brought a winter blast to Florida 37 degrees with 16mph winds, feels like 25. I’ll be honest, I didn’t check it this morning. I don’t own a 4/3 Wetsuit because it rarely gets this cold. I’m eyeballing Wednesday evening for a mat mission in my 3/2 no matter what the temp is if Mother Ocean is cooperating!

I’m so Grateful for you and Gloria and whole 4GF Family! It’s been a year of ups and downs, but I have grown tremendously. I have always leaned on surfing during the tough times and it has never let me down. It’s good for a Solider to always have a mission, and that’s how I look at every surf session. Thank you for trusting me enough to let me Spread the Stoke 🤙🏼! May this year be filled with Health, Joy, Love and Waves! Keep Spreading the Stoke, it changes lives. Positive Vibes and Healing Energy!

Super Stoked on 2018,

Rob
