Ok...this will need some context...		 2005decom_0102
You see, Playa Surfing® is not an intelligent activity.		 2005decom_0103
It's done by people...well, like us...
2005decom_0104
Whoa coined the phrase, but the activity is essentially putting your car into gear and then climb on top of it.
And drink.

In all of these photos we are moving...		 2005decom_0105
This is Whoa.
The afternoon was his fault.
What we didn't realize at the time was that this short jaunt was going to turn into an all afternoon activity.		 2005decom_0106
This is Spork.
She's peeing.
She does this frequently.		 2005decom_0107Dan show's up and joins the brigade. At some point he returns to camp for beer which we were burning through at an obscene rate....we don't do this activity for the conversation.
2005decom_0108 2005decom_0109
Dan's now returned with more beer and gets his vehicle running in tandem.		 2005decom_0110 2005decom_0112
Spork then changes to the more pee-friendly side.

When driving in tandem the only logical next step is to jump into the vehicle next to you.
2005decom_0117 2005decom_0118 2005decom_0119 2005decom_0120
With that we leave Whoa to his own devices. This only lasts for a few minutes and he joins us.
2005decom_0121
The only problem with that is that it leaves his vehicle surfing without a driver.
So we continue to drink.		 2005decom_0122
This has now gone on for about an hour and a half.		 2005decom_0123
To solve the small problem of his car doing things like driving off at an annoying angle, he cuts the wheel in and it quite remarkably stays in a tight concentric circle.

We are running out of beer however.		 2005decom_0124
Hour three.

(Note the angle of the shadow)
2005decom_0125
We then discover that we have three bottles of Boons Farm.
This is one of those sure signs that we're doing something right and we continue to drive in circles.		 2005decom_0126
Ben arrives.
 2005decom_0127
Ben's arrival always signifies a stockpile of gin.		 2005decom_0128
This however is after three hours or so of drinking beer and Boons Farm and though I like gin, the sequence of this is (if I had my choice) not in the healthiest of orders. I switch to vodka just to be safe.
