One more reason to wish I was in my dreamtown of Huntington Beach, California.
This week and weekend is the Quiksilver 2011 Surfing USA Championships.
Some of the events are airing live this Friday June 24th and Saturday June 25th. Here is the link to watch:http://www.surfline.com/quikusachamps/
It does not say what time it will be showing. I suppose in the early afternoon? I would just periodically check the site.
Enjoy the surfing watching!!!

Summer Season is officially Swinging!
Time for popsicles, ocean waters, turkey burgers, hopscotching, road trips, dancy dancing, blowing bubbles, lightning bug catching.... Oh boy oh boy! I am excited.
I also found a few favorite treat for the summer. It is a popsicle but tastes like ice cream. But it is gluten-free and dairy-free and under 100 calories! http://mompops.net/index.html Try the chocolate banana! It is seriously one of the greatest things since decent tasting gluten free sliced bread.
Happy Summer!
Love,

Ocean Outfitters
12 days till summer. With the air being 141 degrees, I truly wish to be in the waves. Alas, I cannot due to landlocked-ness.
If you have the fortune of actually getting to the beach in the near future, make a stop at Ocean Outfitters in Wildwood Crest, NJ.
I have yet to pay a visit this year to my beloved surf shop. These people taught me how to surf after all! I have been wanting to make a little post about them for centuries.
The surf instructors are really kind, funny (especially Dean!), and very helpful. This is the place to start if you are completely new to surfing!
The surf camps (pictured above) are especially awesome and great for beginners. To really get your feet wet (Teehee surfing/ocean pun) I would recommend going to a 2 or 3 day surf camp. It was a great experience for me to learn surfing with other beginners. Though, if you have surfing experience, you can still participate in the camps. I have for the past four years. Each time, I learn something new and improve in my surfing abilities.
They also have the option to rent boards for the day. Also, don't forget to buy some belly jelly from the store to help prevent board rashes. I learned the hard and painful way.
Gosh, all this beach talk is making me even more antsy to get down there, on a board, and into the water.
I miss you Ocean Outfitters!
