Surfing One Foot Days

ByJeff

El Porto Thursdays?  Due to scheduling, we had to move up this week’s El Porto Friday a day.  Lucky for you, it was a raging one to tow feet out there and we had the video camera.  Forget, Riding Giants and all that other big wave hooha, this is the future of surfing.

There wasn’t much out there, not that we expected much.  The crew was down to the core – me, Josh and Aaron.  Peter did show up this morning, but wisely choose to opt-out after seeing the lake-like conditions.  I brought Elwood with me today; that poor board had not been out in a long while.  It proved quite fun in the micro fury that was today’s surf session.  The name of the game today was “paddling.”  Paddling without much payoff.  But the small surf did give us a chance to experiment with the camera some more.

Please to enjoy, the best worst video ever, the bone-chilling saga…Ankle Biters!

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…

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….
