New bike day yesterday! Specialized Diverge Spor

New bike day yesterday!

Specialized Diverge Sport Carbon with 47cm fat tires. Did the tubeless conversion in the morning and then went for a 22 mile grinder on the north side of Tamm here. Do you steroid and laid out for a nap afterwards.

The color is not one that I would have usually chosen, and I love it. I had a dream sk time ago with a very strong image of a person dressed entirely in yellow. Everyone in a dream is a part of yourself. I’ve been waiting for the opportunity to bring yellow into my waking life, and I found that with this bike. I had never considered the idea of manifesting something from a dream into waking life until I read Robert Johnson’s _Inner Work_ — and now I know what it feels like: very powerful. There’s more to that dream; that’s another story but I am finding it to be true what he wrote: “dreams never waste our time” — the subconscious often speaks through dreams.

Have you ever brought something from a dream into your life?

Yesterday’s fly down + trail run back up the wes

Yesterday’s fly down + trail run back up the west side of Tam with Paul. You’re a ⭐️ buddy, great to know you.

As much as I love going other places, right now I don’t have any reason to go anywhere.

Dream journey around our beloved San Francisco Bay

Dream journey around our beloved San Francisco Bay by #kitefoil today. I went out with the intention of going downwind to the east bay shore and back, and once I got up the the golden gate for my start, I could see the wind was likely filled in through Raccoon Strait. I’ve sailed through it many times, and it is a tricky piece of water. Conditions were perfect, I ran the strait and then around the back side of Angel Island, deep to round the X buoy and shoot the old Berkeley Pier, and then FLY upwind back to Point Blunt, Alcatraz, the cityfront and then back to the Gate.

I have more energy at 50 than I did at 30. I felt strong today. That was a very solid sail in strong wind and challenging conditions, and it felt well within my ability. It is a transcendental pleasure to be able to experience something like this. A world-class experience, unforgettable.

Adventure doesn’t happen by accident, my friends.

I got great photos too, will post some soon. Here’s the GPS track

Yesterday and every day on SF bay there is terrain

Yesterday and every day on SF bay there is terrain everywhere. I studied geography in my youth and every day I discover the shapes and patterns of nature—and, how they are the same shapes and patterns that make up our own physical bodies, and all the patterns of our being: our biological rhythms, our emotions, our feelings, beliefs and thoughts. I found the whirlpool searching for patterns in the tidelines, wind ripping 30+ and only the most hungry of us on the water. What does this vortex eat? And the larger gate beyond, was it trying to eat me the other day? Who was eating who? What’s eating _you_?
And, nothing violent, an ephemeral swirl, a spinning pattern, two sides meeting, dancing—you can see the two halves of the yin-yang symbol embracing too, I’m sure. I sent this photo to a friend and she replied “thoughts dissolve to emptiness when exerienced completely.” Exactly.

How it looks is how it was. Lit on 2.8m @boardridi

How it looks is how it was. Lit on 2.8m @boardridingmaui Cloud, shooting backwards to capture Ben winging, SteveO also on his 2.8, a windsurfer in the background, and an outbound heavy. Fun high wind day on the bay!

Just one of the highlight from my run today. Two g

Just one of the highlight from my run today. Two guys, two Bay Area natives, two red hats, two Mercedes. He said nice van! I said yeah nice suit! Instant friends after 10 on the Bolinas ridge. ✌🏾✌🏻
