During the holidays, we went up to see the family in Los Angeles.  

The best part about returning home is that Trestles is inevitably on the way.  

Below are some shots that are the product of the great Jill Sunshine who endured the cold and dark conditions to catch the action.

The right here at uppers was SOLID.  Despite the crowd, plenty of decent waves were to be had.  

A few weekends later I went snowboarding and broke my elbow on the last run of the day.  

Then I rode my bike home on another weekend and lost the handle.  Trying to avoid breaking another arm, I fell right onto my face and broke my two front teeth.  Needless to say, this has been the worst January ever.  The only redeeming factors have been the steady awesomeness of Jill Sunshine and my inclusion in the band, Jackpot Junkies.  I was fortunate that my injuries did not prohibit me from playing music.

The injuries have, along with the bad weather, kept me out of the water but hopefully for not much longer.

Until then, I’ll just have to keep replaying the rapidly fading memories of Trestles in December of 2009.

I like this place! I love the idea and wish there was a place like this in Astoria, Queens. I am a surfer and found a "real surfer bar" in Point Break NYC. I am kinda jealous ;0PIts filled with surfers, people who like surfers, people who like the beach and people who don't want to live close to town. I really like this place. You know what they have these real Proctor and Channel One surfboards on the wall. It's nice for coming any day of the week and eating a late brunch. The food was outstanding. The brunch and sides were prefect and tasty. It is a perfect "escape" from city living. It is probably one of the only places where you can get a nice frozen pina colada or margarita. The service was on hit. They came up and checked on us so many times and made sure everything was up to par. It gets very active and the bartenders keep everybody having a good time. The bartender was very accommodating. He was nice enough to make a drink, that wasn't on the menu, for me :0) Did I mention the bartenders are nice eye candy. It was amazing to see their “das boot” which is shaped like a boot filled with beer. Don’t get me wrong, I am not drunk…it’s an actual boot shaped beer container ready to be emptied. Try it ..You will love it!! Oh. How can I forget, they even have a wheel o' shots where you just have to spin it and have to drink whatever shot it lands on!! Now call that bar creativity at its best!!! And when I spill a tray full of shots on myself, the bartender so kindly remakes them for me? Good music, too, and the decor helped us weather an otherwise overcast and rainy day. You know that old song "Brandy"? It goes, "Brandy, you're a fine girl, what a good wife you would be. But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea." I believe Brandy works here. No reason, I just do. And that song happens to be a guilty pleasure of mine, so that's a plus in my book. You can simply waltz over to this colorful and warm establishment, enjoy some drinks with friends, and walk home. The bar is right at the center, so you can walk to either side for drinks, and the bartenders are friendly and at your service. There is a variety of seating, good music, and friendly neighborhood people to make your time more enjoyable. Not pretentious, very cozy, I think Point Break is a fabulous place to spend some time with friends.
