The surfer is that good, regardless...

While surfing this past weekend at Huntington Beach (HB) cliffs, a surfer displayed impressive skills. The surfer rocked and humbled us all in the water. There are lots of surfers in the world, the majority are NOT good (i.e. me), some are good, while a select few are above excellent. That surfer was in the above excellent range. It's not unusual to see impressive surfing skills at HB (aka surf city), so we just enjoyed the show while focusing on getting our own waves.

Few hours later, I'm out of the water and finally got to see who that surfer was. The answer both excited and humbled me. The surfer is a current surfing professional and former ASP 2004 Womens Surfing Champion, Sofia Mulanovich. The surfer was that good, regardless of gender.


Note: this is obviously not my personal video, but from youtube. Nevertheless, it's a fair display of her "most excellent" surfing skills...Dude. But in this case, Dudette.

Congratulations. I pronounce you husband and husband, wife and wife. Same sex marriages was ruled legal by California Supreme Court back in early May, but had to wait for Tuesday (June 17, 2008) for county courts to hand out marriage licenses.

Same sex couples will have to hurry, because the court ruling might be over turn in Fall, when a bill is proposed to limit marriage only be between a man and woman.

Side note is that California economy will benefit from this legalization. If California's economy can benefit from this legalization, wonder how much more the economy can if marijuana is legalized for everyone.
