The
annual Costa Rican Safari was a blast. Good friends to hang with, good
surf to ride, warm water, hot sun but most important was the time I spent
w/ my son Jason. It had been over 5 years since we last surfed together.
The time we spent in the water & just hanging out was kick ass. The
trip back to the airport to exit CR was very memorable. We got delayed
for over 1-1/2 hours and everyone thought they would miss their flights.
There had been no facilities so we had to make a decision whether to stop
or keep going to the airport. The conversation between the 6 of us was
pretty comical to say the least but in the end Keith’s bladder made
the decision to stop. Everything worked out and all made their flights.
Great trip!

Happy New Year, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter and all other holidays
I missed. I apologize to all for not authoring “The Glide”
for over 6 months.
To catch up on some business I’d like to thank Susan Radley and
Sally Price for their hard work in organizing the float decorating and
preparation for the Christmas Parade. Thanks to Andy Benke for making
the trip to the beach everyday to post the surf report and Bill Coleman
and Hal Coste for making sure the annual Oyster Roast was a success. Susan
also a big thanks to you for continuing to arrange & coordinate our
monthly Socializin' Surfers events. I understand that we have 2 finalists
as candidates for the 1st CCSC College Scholarship and the winner will
be awarded on May 15th - thank you Tim Askins, Keith Farley and Bill Zorn
for your efforts.
Thanks to our CCSC Web Cam sponsors; Charleston Water Sports, Seels on
Sullivan’s, Sottile and Hopkins & Island Reality and welcome
Kia Dilling’s Sol Surfers Surf Camp to the page.
This winter was the coldest in a number of years and the small surf was
really a downer. It’s bad enough to be forced to put up with cold
water and rubber but to have so few good days for almost _ a year drains
your enthusiasm. I admire your commitment to stay stoked!
Ten club members and two guests made the annual Costa Rican Safari. The
surf was good size as you can tell from Andy’s picture when you
login to CCSC. Delta Airlines is the “anti-surfer” airline.
For those of you who don’t know they are charging $600 round trip
per board. This meant that most everyone on the trip made @ least two
attempts to rent boards they could “get wired”. It ate up
almost a full day of water time searching the 4 surf shops for rental
boards. - I personally have chosen to boycott them and urge everyone to
do so when possible. You have to endure connections no matter your choice
of airlines out of CHS. You will find most connection cities are less
congested than Atlanta!
Finally it’s great to hear our good friend form the old days, Kenny
Kirchner, is recovering and is expected to be back in the line-up this
summer with his new heart valve.
My forecast is for better than usual summer surf because of the lack of
winter swell. I look forward to seeing y’all in the line-up, your
help with our summer surf and community service events and of course at
the monthly Socializin' Surfers get togethers. You will receive information
on the annual meeting and dinner in the next few months.
Keep surfing,
Tom
