One of my best friends is heading back to NYC this weekend after spending the summer in LA with me. In order to send her off in style we spent the day at the Malibu Lagoon yesterday and tonight we are re-visiting the very first bar we ever got drunk at The Kibitz Room. 

Yesterday had all the makings of a perfect beach day; paddle ball, two ocean dips and a long walk on the beach. I was looking back on my list of Summer to-dos and realized the only thing I didn’t make good on was the very thing I was most in control of, to practice surfing once a week. Inspired by all the beginners out yesterday I bought my first wetsuit. Luckily LA Summer will last well into the Fall.
