the usual surf session

the usual surf session is on weekdays. Dawn patrol in days with no morning meetings. It’s seldom a solitary activity in the summer, but it can be in winter days when the forecast doesn’t show size. The break is Malibu Surfrider Beach. I used to walk down to

grand teton, yellowstone, and what is enough gear?
