Surfing Arizona Dessert

Checked out Grand Canyon at 7am this morning for a pretty amazing sunrise! Then hoofed it to a few other top secret spots for other views as the sun crept into the Canyon - it was cold too!! Snow in the Canyon - never expected that!
Cruised up to Page, AZ to try and find a boat to tow us in the Lake Powell - we asked around, and around, but no luck so we cruised back into town and had an awesome sandwich at The Sandwich Place - met the owner and before we knew it, one of Page’s first citizens and a true Arizonan cowboy, Jesse was driving us around town to find a boat. We ended up at Al’s place and he suggested a silky smooth sand dune with red rock sandstone background - we were onto it (and Al also offered a place to stay...and some awesome sausage!). We cruised 20 miles out of town and grabbed a couple of boards to see Randy and Claire (an earlier potential boat owner and his daughter from South Dakota) rock up to watch us surf the desert. We get a few fun runs in and Randy has a shot, but Claire just poses for a photo on the board.
Pack up and cruise back to Al’s for some lessons in how to make sausage - elk, beef, chicken, teriyaki, habanero, etc etc. they make it, smoke it, store it, pack it and it is gooood!
Jesse came around with some Mountain Lion meat (yes that’s correct - we ATE COUGAR!).
49 states surfed - redoing NEVADA (Vegas) and CALI (OC, and Ventura), then Hawai’i is our LAST STATE - Who would have thought we’d actually look like completing this Surfing 50 States thing!!

P.S. Stefan gave himself a 5 minute haircut with $3.17 scissors he bough from a gas station - It is TERRIBLE - hahahaha - actually it’s pretty good for the time and cost - very original!
