El Porto Fridays – Now with Video!

ByJeff

We are always trying to up the game here and El Porto Fridays.  Well today we bring you…VIDEO!  Unfortunately we also bring you…1 FOOT WAVES!  It wasn’t much of a good surfing day at El Porto today.  But it sure did make it easier for us to test out the camera in the smaller surf.  Also in odd contrast to the super small swell, we also had a huge crew in the line up – Aaron, Josh, me, Jordan, CW, Chrissie and Mike all turned out today.  Hopefully from here on out though, most Fridays will include a video post.  And I apologize, but I’m in a huge hurry today, so the video (much like the waves) will be very sub par today.  Mostly what you’ll see is a lot of the “defeated stance.”  That’s the slumped arms, shoulders and head a surfer tends to get when a wave just lets go of the ride.

Venice Chowder

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…

Star Sighting

While driving to Fridays at El Porto this morning, I had a star sighting at Rosecrans and Sepulveda. Granted it was only a star to me, but awesome all the same.I pulled up to the intersection. A car pulled up in the left turn lane. I took fleeting glance at the guy driving. I thought…

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….
