As the typhoon passed I checked the wave height forecasts wondering how the typhoon was going to affect the swell around the Philippines. The typhoon showed up as a red spot with yellow spiral "arms" showing the way it was spinning. The swells around Northwestern Luzon were yellow as well, for at least three days! Surf trip!

I woke up Wednesday morning to a text message, it was from Aldrix. He
mentioned that The Backyard was working and Lanlan had the waves all to himself. I
looked out the window and it was stormy alright. Oh well, another wet trip to
work.

Thursday morning: Aldrix wasn't going to let the opportunity pass, he borrowed his boss' car and drove down to The Backyard for a great day of surfing. I hope the swell lasts till the weekend.

I went out Friday night to meet up with Carl and Dennis and to checkout Carl's almost finished project, his '67 Camaro. The camaro was already painted and running fine. It just needed a few more items like gauges, bumpers and papers. It was dark blue with white race stripes. The 327ci block was Chevy Orange and the interior was black leather, the upholstery shop had done a great job. I should contact him for the mustang.

By Saturday afternoon, Danette and the rest of the crew were at The Backyard enjoying the waves while I was still at work :( I contacted Jason that evening and setup to go down first thing the next morning. 6:30am, Sunday morning and the bus was leaving the station. It took us 2.5hours to get to Aldrix's and by the time we got there they had already started playing. Overall it was a great day, glassy 4 footers breaking lefts and rights.

By 6pm we were all surfed out and decided to call it a day.
After dinner, we were on our way back to Baguio, stoked undoubtedly. I hope we
get the same swell next weekend....
