Small, But Surprisingly Good

ByJeff

We went into this morning thinking it was likely to be another lay-day.  But after having a lay-day last week, Sean, CW, Mike and I were hell-bent on paddling out no matter what. Look at that picture!  There are no waves nor people out there at all.  But much to our surprise, and though the waves rarely were over 2 feet, there was some zip and length to them.  And the sun was actually out and warm and the day was gorgeous… We actually had so much fun that we fed the meters after 8 (bastards) to continue our session.  Lots of fun rides today.  LOTS of fun rides.  In fact, we were having so much fun, that I completely forgot to film again (sorry).

The break was rife with sea-beasties today.  Dolphins feeding, seals feeding, birds dive-bombing and feeding, and yards and yards of seaweed to get wrapped up in.  At one point I saw a bit of seaweed clinging to Sean’s leash.  When I went over to strip it off, it just kept coming and coming until I had a 20 pound ball of kelp.

All the guys arrived at El Porto only to find 1s and 2s at best.  Josh had a hunch that Venice might be better and that we should head up and find out.  So we all piled into our cars and travelled a few miles up the coast. At Venice, the wind was much more…

New Lexicon: Dragonslayer

I was out surfing yesterday, and there was still a bit of the big swell left over from earlier last week.  Left over swell tends to come infrequently.  The sets coming rolling in as they will.  One set comes.  A second set rolls through.  Three sets go by.  Then something looks amiss in deep water….
