thinktank 09 surfing

Written by / Posted in ThinkTank / 3 Comments

Words can not begin to describe this. Technically this was work. My favorite people in my favorite place, the ocean.

Dave Dellanave with his special friend.

Cameron Olthuis who arranged the surfing, provided the boards, instructor and enjoyed the ride!

Danny DeMichele was one of the surprise amazing surfers of the event. I have video of him just killing it. Eric Itzkowitz was also just amazing, video to follow one day.

The real stars of the surfing were Dave Dellanave and Jonathan Holloway (Jon show me where to link :) ) above paddling into the wave, and below dropping in. Jon and Dave just went for it like there was no bottom, no waves, no possibility of breaking their neck, just fearless!

This is me, dk. The board was too small for my dainty frame. Seriously. No really.

Todd Malicoat paddling into a wave. It made me so happy to have Todd out in the water. He is one of my early heros in the internet business world. He is a great natural athlete, and took right to this. Todd, let me also publicly apologize for how long it took to get you that software. It honestly is in the mail now I swear!

The leaders of the internet business world conducting a board meeting.

Remember, whenever you are trying to figure out how to handle a situation, just ask yourself. WWCHD? (what would chris hedgecock do?) On twitter that is #wwchd

Makes me honestly sad looking at these pics. Can’t wait till next year. Just imagine what it will look like for us to see these pics in 50 years. :)

This is life at its most perfect for me. Honestly, not drugs, no booze, no lies, no cheating, not even any competition. Just hanging with friends out in the wet and wild, warm water, warm blue skies. Truly a moment of enlightenment. More surf pics.

    Yea! I was waiting for these pics to pop up. Now I have proof. Such a fun week, thanks again! Looking forward to the poker tournament as well.

    I am feeling like I need to go for a surf after seeing these. They look like perfect nice mellow waves. Where is that that you’re surfing? I can’t tell. Still the Del, I will assume. Although I know La Jolla has some really good mellow beach break for beginners. I need to head over there someday, I’m a Pipes/Cardiff/George’s/Seaside girl.
