My Editor of the Vagabondsurf.com,

Do you know why the one bookie boarders are always taking my the waves? I almost was about to go crazy again and check the into the back of Personality Rehabilitation Center until your site I did found! One then asks himself, why not beat them instead of rather joining them? Do you sell the bookie boards or what you call mat? What you have the sharpest edges underneath? MY WAVE!

Thanking you,

Bonta Mougabwa


Bonta,

Thank you for writing in with your questions. Glad vagabondsurf.com could be of service. It is best to stay out of PRC's, but if you do have to check back in, remember to take a big ring of keys...that's the only way the people who run those places can tell the difference between the workers and patients. Helps if the surf comes up and the 72 hours haven't run out.

No, vagabondsurf.com doesn't sell either bookie boards or the mat. The mat can be purchased from the person who makes them - check the
surf mat home page for a link. As for "beat them instead of rather joining them", well, I suspect it would be like flogging a dead horse...smelly and unpleasant and much harder work than it was worth.  A surfer I met felt it would be better to extend his hand to the bookie boarders.

Hello. your vagabond.com surf site have very good. We like you to have travel to. We go to California to surf but people not nice. We travel to Costa Rica next time instead because surf is more good and water is more warm. Sorry to know that you say Le Chat mort. We like him very much, he is tres grand American. Bye.

Thanks for writing. Yes, California is a big place with a lot of people these days. The water is not at all like Hawaii or Florida - right now in early April it is 52 degrees in Ventura County (between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara Counties). With luck it will get to 64 degrees at the peak of summer. As for people, they are pretty much the same all over the world. When you get too many in a small space you don't usually see them at their best. Still, California can provide some wonderful surfing experiences in and out of the water. Just walking up the point at Malibu or Rincon, walking in to Trestles, or spitting off the Huntington Pier...virtual historical, if not sacred, sites abound.
