With kitchen clothes swapped for boardshorts, and surfboard in hand, I swung by my buddy Kyle’s place to pick him up (8:45PM). Soon after we were cruising towards Pacific City, quickly realizing that the forecast had not made light of the rain we would see over the next 24 hours. It was a slow and EXTREMELY dark drive, but we rolled into Pacific City just before 11:00, in time to catch the tail end of the Snow Skate Surf afterparty.
