So I'm at the beach one day and I wanted to get a KRock bumper sticker from the guy in the KRock van but I didn't want to give them my info so I tried to sneak one without getting a form. It didn't work, they handed me a form to fill out first. So I gave them my work number instead of my home info. I got a sticker. I forgot about it.
At work on Monday morning, they say I have a call from Jodi at KRock. I won a surf board! I never won anything, even when I gambled. So I was shocked. Luckily I was going to be in NYC on a service call later in the week so I swung around to 57th street and met them on the street (parking is impossible in the city) and tossed a surf board into my hatchback wagon. It fit. I was stoked.
I did have some experience with wave riding just prior to getting the board. I got a really cheap boogie board and fins. I did manage to catch one wave once and it took me flying. What was weird was that I was riding the top part of the wave as it broke and barreled over under me and then there were two people in the water and I was heading straight for them but I was over their heads.
I banked and was able to turn away from hitting them. I never caught a wave after that on the boogie board, but it was really nice to be out deeper in the ocean with some flotation. I loved being in the water and the sun and away from everyone.
The fins didn't last, they fell apart. I still have the boogie board, it is the green one with yellow plastic running thru it.
Also got a KRock T-shirt. Is this collectible? There is no more KRock.
Thank you Jodi from KRock & KRock!
