Happy 15th Birthday to Grace

We have been searching and searching for a surf board for Grace for her birthday.  We have checked surf shops in Pacifica and scoured craigslist with no success.  Yesterday I called a couple board shops in Santa Cruz and got a lead on one that sounded promising.

So today we went over the hill and started hitting all the board shops and a couple Goodwill shops.  Our 7th stop was the shop that had the board that I had heard about yesterday.  We walked it, asked about it and took a really close look.  It is a great board that needs a quick, easy repair and will be good to go.  The stuff to do the repair costs $5 and Jim and Grace will be able to do it with ease.

We got the board, a bag, a leash, 3 things of wax and a fin key for $489!  The other boards we have been looking at were $500 to $600 without all the extra stuff we got.  We are thrilled!

A guy walked into the store right after we started looking at the board and he sat around waiting for us to make a decision because if we didn't buy it, he was going to!  We got lucky we showed up when we did....we almost missed it!

Happy birthday Grace (next week)!
