It was a great day at El Porto. The sun was out and the water warm, glassy and clearer than I’ve ever seen it. (Although there was a funky smell in the air.) The water was so clear we could see 15 feet down if we could see a foot. We even spotted a few leopard sharks flitting about, but sadly I wasn’t able to capture the elusive fish on camera.
We had a huge turn-out today, eight people all together including me, CW, Peter, Uzair, a pair of Mikes and a pair of Joshes. Today’s awesomeness was due to the waves being decently sized (up to hip level), nice strength, good set frequency, low crowds by El Porto standards and I was surrounded by buds. I’ll take the smaller waves in low crowds any day over the big surf with hoards of people. On a sidenote: there was a dude out there on a red swallow-tail who was a surfing machine. He owned the day. Kudos, dude.
