Surf: 7.6 ft at 11.4 s from W at 281°
Well, it finally happened. After 15 years and 135,000 miles, my Civic blew a head gasket.
I’d spent the weekend agonizing over wether or not to fix it. It was really hard to let the car go, especially since it was still running. The car had never had a problem before, so it very was unexpected when it started running rough in November.
After a lot of thinking, I decided to trade it in. It was hard, but I picked up a more surf-friendly Honda Fit to replace it. Believe it or not, this 13 and a half ft long car fits a whole 9’4 longboard inside, no problem.
Today was it’s first day at the beach.
Getting my 6’10 in as easy. It’ll take some work to figure out my new routine, especially now that I have a digital key instead of an old school metal key.
The surf was…not so great. I really struggled out there and got straight up skunked. Uff. That hasn’t happened in a while. Ahh well.
At least I had a sturdy new heater to keep my toes warm driving home. 🙂
