Ideal El Porto

Well, the water could have been warmer, but otherwise setting were perfect.  The water was clear and glassy.  There was just enough breeze blowing off the shore to throw a little mist off the crest of the wave.  The crowds were low by El Porto standards.  And the waves, oh the waves.  They rolled in…

The Sausage Is Back

Big waves on order this week.  I went back up to Harbour to borrow the Sausage again.  Man, I dig that board.  I need to get one of my own.  Although I am tempted to try getting it in a quad set up.  Anyway, big beautiful waves at the Sunset Jetty today.  Long peely rights…

All Back Together Again

Finally!  The rains have stopped, the holidays are over and we all managed to stay healthy to get together for another coveted El Porto Friday.  Great crew today to: Josh, Mike, Aaron, Edgar, CW, and even Sean stopped by to say hello (but couldn’t stay).  It was a junky day too, but I think we…

Bolsa Chica Friday

All of the LA-based crew how to bow out today, so Sean and I opted for Bolsa Chica instead.  It was super foggy.  So foggy one couldn’t see the break from the shore.  Tensions were high while out in the water.  We had to be on orange alert for a rogue wave to come out…

Birthday Surf

Poseidon brought me sweet birthday waves today.  Not only were they great size and shape, but they were consistent as well.  Even with the crowds, nobody was want for a waves.  I surfed until my arms gave out.  And I got to test out a new Harbour prototype board.  It’s a kind of thruster biscuit…

Drizzly Porto

Josh, Sean and I showed up for a drizzle El Porto Friday.  The swell is coming straight in to shore, so we were treated to a morning of nasty closeouts – dangerous and fun.  Josh was nuts out there today.  Every time I was paddling back out, I’d see him paddle into the biggest, most…

Day Two at Leo Carrillo

More of the same – Perfect rights.  I spent another 4 hour session out in the water.  Today though I tried the Junod instead of the Revolver.  More power turns, less cheater-fives.  I was so engrossed in surfing that I forgot to take a picture, but I did grab this one from Surfline which depicts…
