Nobody Surfs More Than Franco

Sometimes it's so easy to run the hampster wheel regarding dims, fins, split toes or round, lobsters or mitts, poly or epoxy, keel, quad, single, bonzer or thruster, Parrish or Brewer, Drylock, Bohemia or R4 to a point where this becomes more convenient/enjoyable than actually paddling out and riding a wave. Here, Francois Michel Bourgeois momentarily off the wheel and saggin up afternoon leisure with what looks to be his widow/drama-maker and 'nobody out?!?!?' A term ex-specially relative to this locale, one of the more populated yet grinding jetties in North America where secretly we know Keone was in the water sharing the kine of aloha that comes with the name.

Good morning, surfing folks. Yes, it does seem that Mr. Franco surfs more than most, par none. Frankly (no pun intended), I am jealous. Nice wave, nice board, nice guy.





I will get my fill in due time, although that time has been eluding me.

I hear Franco puts half a Sicilian slice in each boot before surfing in sub 40 degree water..Thats why he always goes up one size in his 7mm boots..to make a little room for the hot mutz and thicker than usual crust..the secret is to get the center piece of the pie to avoid the sharp edges of the outer crust..
Tenere le sue dite scaldano!
(oh and Franco also noted that the Infinity was better than the drylock for ease of getting the slice through the ankle opening)

In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil with the garlic over medium heat. When the garlic starts to sizzle, pour in the tomatoes. Season with salt and red pepper. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally

He better get used to that "empty left" cause with all the money FMB is spending on dough, sauce and cheese, he won't be able to buy a right at the old man's pleasure point.

Oh yeah money, the rent is due on the 1st!

If surfing was figure skating, and stoke was gayness, franco would be the guy I am watching on olympics right now.
