What is sectiony?
In a perfect world all waves would peel beautifully from one end of the wave to the other in one smooth, continuous motion – one curl per wave. But as we all know, this is not an ideal world and waves aren’t always perfect. When a swell builds into a wave and that wave starts breaking in several spots, each of those breaks is called a “section” of the wave. And if al the waves tend to do this during a surf session, then the day is sectiony.
My bike rack broke last week. So I was off to Harbour to pick up a new on. On the way, while driving on PCH, the waves looked fun and the sun was out, so I stopped for a quick surf session. Luckily I happened t have the Spherical Revolver in the car and a…
Yesterday, after my Jackass-like session (I should have had someone donkey punch me to soften the blow), I made my way up to Harbour to pick up my new bike rack. (See bike rack review). I installed the rack which claimed to be able to carry boards up to 10 feet. So, I grabbed my…
Waves not quite as good as yesterday, but still good. 3-4 footers, but nothing much over that at the end of the sets like yesterday. And the rip was extra strong today. I started out on the south side of the pier and by the time I got out I was at 9th Street. But…
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…
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….
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….
