My wife and I are using some of our free nights we accrued from Holiday Inn Express while on our summer road trip during this week. But after driving from HB to Key West and back we didn’t want to drive too far, just far enough. We opted for Solana Beach so we could hit…
After work yesterday, I packed up my bike and headed down to Beach Bowls for a sunset surf session. Jack Lordy that water was deliciously warm. The thermometer on my watch read 76ºF! My brain was telling me that couldn’t be right, and it could have been taking some heat off my wrist, but it…
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. …
My Spherical Revolver made its triumphant return to the ocean today! Unfortunately, the swell didn’t quite cooperate. The waves were good size today, but like yesterday they just didn’t have the umph to pick us up. The waves would roll up and look all delicious. Donnie and I would be tempted by their siren song…
The most terrifying thing about today’s surf session was the beach break. I’d catch these clunkers way on the outside. Then I’d fight them all the way waiting for the wave to form. And once the wave did form it was suddenly a 5 foot face ready to break right on the beach into a…
Oh lordy, lordy, ladies and gents. This morning was borderline epic at Newport beach today. The waves were 2-4s, great A-frames, long rides, and best of all, constant sets. I barely had time to chat with Donnie or Chris (The Wave Warrior) during the whole session. The Spherical Revolver was Spherically Revolving all over those…
We had a big crew at Newport today including me, Brandon, Donnie, AJ and Chris (The Wave Warrior). (Much like Josh, Chris will attack every wave that comes his way.) The clouds looked rainy and the wind made for some turbulent seas. It was totally chowder most of the time. But the faces and shoulders…
We finally got out to El Porto on a Friday today! Though we were down by a Swayze – we were sans Josh. Still Aaron and I braved the ocean without The Chicken Dancer. As El Porto can often decieve, the waves looked pretty mediocre from the parking lot. Once we were out in the…
Went for an afternoon surf session today with Donnie at 56th Street in Newport Beach. When we got there around 1pm, the tide was low. The waves coming off the last jetty were super hollow and tantalizing. And the water was amazingly glassy, especially for an afternoon session. The trick to the waves today was…
I tried to recreate all the magical conditions of yesterdays glorlious surf session, with one change (my board). I rode my bike down to the north side of the Huntingon Pier at the same time, but alas…I should have been there yesterday. (Actually I was, read all about it.) This time though had brought my…
