Month: December 2013

Steep and Maybe Too Deep (Capitola 123013)

Crowded at the beach today, the second to last day of the year, with sunny skies and warm temps. After missing two spots, waited 20 minutes in the…

Small Waves and Crowds (Capitola 122913)

Sunday during winter holiday with sunny skies and 70 degree weather meant that EVERYONE was at the beach. The lineup was filled with a billion kids on their…

Fun WNW Swell (Capitola 122813)

Woo, I’ve been waiting for this day all week – some WNW swell at Capitola! Drove down this morning for a two-night stay to catch this mini-swell. Got…

Tease (Pacifica 122713)

Ah, Linda Mar. Such a tease. Yesterday was a full-on fun sesh for me: slight offshore, got many good waves, not-too-hard paddleouts. Today was um, different: missed several…

Stoked Sesh (Pacifica 122613)

Looking forward to more offshore 2-3′ waves at LM today and it delivered. Somewhat inconsistent with some lulls, but still enough waves to have some fun. More power…

Merry Surfmas (Pacifica 122513)

Facetimed with the fam this morning. Miss them. Then we headed down to Linda Mar. From the cam we knew it was 2-3′ and offshore. Turquoise blue water….

Swell Fades, Small Waves (Capitola 122413)

Slept a bit late (hot tub + those blackout shades!). Knew the swell was fading so we were glad to see some small waves still holding up. Small…

Long One From the Outside (Capitola 122313)

Fun sesh! Not that consistent with some lulls but the set waves were pumping. When they came, a steeper line came angling through. During surf check, we watched…

Start of Some Swell (Capitola 122213)

Slept in (thanks to blackout shades at the Fairfield) and waited for the 12:30 high tide to drop. Surf check showed there was some power behind the forecasted…

First Time on the 6’4″ Stoker (Capitola 122113)

Ahh, reached the December milestone – the start of three weeks off work. Headed to Capitola for the next four days. Feels like forever since we’ve been. Waited…

A Few Rides on the Stoker V Machine (Pacifica 121313)

Made it through the week of work offsites (which were really fun) and happily found ourselves with time to surf. Freeze warning ended earlier this week too. Sunny…

Cold, Dark, Offshore (Pacifica 120613)

Needed a brain reset after too many days out of the water – both of us were sick before, during and after Thanksgiving break and occupied with work….
