There are times in life when a staycation travel session is more than necessary.  Seriously, ever since the economy failed us all in 2008, long travel vacations are sort of the thing of the past for most of us.  So in need of some solitude from the bills of life and the stress of reality, there is nothing like a hike in up in Northern California with some new surfboards and your best friends.  Here’s the essence of trip.  We’ll let you dream of yourself in the empty barrels and won’t ruin the images with others invading your mind space on these waves.
