Another sluggish, lumpy surf day. BUT we did have an actual El Porto Friday with Josh, Mike and Uzair. So, no matter what the waves were like it was great to get out with buds and made for a fun surf session.
After the surf session, Mike and I clowned around with various cameras and his sweet tripod. I do have some video from the day, but that’ll have to wait until next week as I am just about to leave for Joshua Tree. But the video will give me something to do if it rains…AGAIN!

I love surfing as much as the next guy. But here is another case of someone taking a sport to the XTREME! I imagine you’d have to dress up like Randy from A Christmas Story, but then how does one paddle? Paddling methods must also be XTREME! but I don’t know what that might be….
