We've been down in the bay for a few days now, relaxing, hanging, seeing the sights. This is a trip in itself - Berkely, Mt. Tamalpais, Stinson Beach, Santa Cruz, Mavericks, San Francisco....Everyday has been full, and the weather's been really nice. UC Berkely was an amazing campus, and we got to rush the field, Tomlinson style. Next time we'll have to actually bring a football. Tamalpais and Stinson Beach were really crazy. You can see the whole bay area from Mt. Tamalpais (http://www.parks.ca.gov/default.asp?page_id=471), after a long windy drive up, and a 10 minute hike to the peak. A lot of the terrain down here is hilly, really rolling, dry and grassy and the beaches get decent peelers, although nobody was in the water at Stinson. I guess down here it wasn't considered good surf, but in Tofino people would be grovelling over the slop. Non-stop dropping in on one another. Santa Cruz was another story. Steamer lane was bringing in the glassy barrels - lot of humans in the water. Mavericks wasn't on, but still gnarly (http://www.mavsurfer.com/), and San Fran was pretty gorgeous, although it smelled like *ss.
Ok, this is the first post, so I'm just typing straight forward, who knows how the narrative will progress as the adventure moves on - might get sloppy, might get concise, but hopefully it won't get boring. To anyone reading this, we probably know you personally, so post your comments whenever you have the time. We'll try and post regularily, or whenever we can get online. So stay tuned. PEACE!

Chilly, the waves in Sayulita were treacherous, I loved every minute of it. Got a couple pics and broken ribs for yah!
