106.9 the Point

A couple of weeks ago, I had the privilege of helping my surfing guru Brian while he gave lessons to guests from the 106.9 the Point radio program. I met Pam Kelly, afternoon deejay, as well as the marketing director and the rest of the important 106.9 creative crew. Brian asked Robin and me if we would just be nearby in case he needed help running errands or had a lot of walk-up lesson traffic. We could then help him with pushing those taking lessons into the waves. What fun!!! The radio group was fantastic, and gave Brian a chance to share his surfing skills, as well as get publicity for his C-Sick Surfing and Way Cool Surf School. I took a few photos during the event as did Robin as did the 106.9 marketing manager. At one point, the radio photographer asked if I would take the 106.9 the Point sign and surf in holding it. I would have to do it in the white water because he didn't have a telephoto lens. So, I stuck the small sign in my mouth and paddled out. I started out a little past the beginning of the white water, caught the wave, popped up and held up the sign. I was proud. He said that he wasn't sure he got it, and Robin, who had also decided to take a photo, knew she didn't get it. So, they asked me to do it again. I did. The photo is on the 106.9 the Point website. How fun! However, looking at the photo is difficult 'cause I look so spastic...more spastic than I feel. I always think I look smooth, but the photos show all (www.106.9thepoint.com). I'll just have to keep practicing. It's fun, though, that I am now on THREE websites as a surfer. Who would have ever thought?
