Offshore high tide rides (Pacifica 091415)

Slept too long and didn’t get down until later. Chatted with Rick as we ate breakfast in the Jeep. He’d ordered Max’s blank+stringer (solid old Redwood) and told…

Foggy, lumpy, and kinda awesome (Pacifica 091215)

Foggy for the first time in a long time and cooler by probably ten degrees this morning with onshore winds and it sure felt like winter! We kinda…

Friday Yay (Pacifica 091115)

Back at the beach finally! Our Jeep wouldn’t start on Tuesday morning and I almost cried knowing I’d have to forego the good conditions and heatwave at LM…

Labor Day lefts (Pacifica 090715)

Got down to the beach “early,” just in time to wait and get a beachfront spot in the south lot. Pretty crowded in the water as expected. Mostly…

Sunday with some swell (Pacifica 090615)

Crowded as expected with sunny skies and light wind. Found parking in the south lot and took our time getting ready. Max was back on his Bruce after…

Fun ones on a Saturday (Pacifica 090515)

Excited to get up since the forecast was for low winds this morning. Got down to the beach by 8:45am and there were some crowds but not nearly…

Exhilarating (Pacifica 090415)

Knew it was going to be high winds again today, and slightly bigger 6′ primary so when we got to the beach and it was white-capping in the…

A Windy One (Pacifica 090315)

Windy with 17pmh WNW gusts. Looked pretty choppy and blown out, but we wanted to get out anyway. Max headed out with a boogie board and fins, while…

69 yard right with swell (Capitola 090115)

Mini surf trip down to Capitola for an evening surf, catching the tide dropping to 2′ at 5pm. SSW and WNW swell was expected and it didn’t disappoint….

69 yard left on a Saturday (Pacifica 082915)

Wow, so stoked. Surfed 6 days since last Friday and have caught sooo many waves even on less-than-ideal days. The LM of the past seems to have been…

Angled lefts (Pacifica 082815)

Looked smallish and textured with closeouts in the middle so we opted for north of the pumphouse. From land, it didn’t seem like much was happening, but once…

Nonstop rights (Pacifica 082715)

Slept in too long, rushed down to the beach to make it back in time for our meeting. Looked so-so on the south end with choppy highish tide…

Mellow (Pacifica 082615)

Supposed to be fair with some West groundswell filling in. Looked pretty good out without too many closeouts, though smallish. Got my new Xcel 3/2 in the mail…

Small rides and GoPro fun (Pacifica 082415)

Small rides on the south end on a mellow Monday with few people out. Took out the new GoPro Session for the first time with the hand strap…

Kelpy Lefts (Pacifica 082315)

Snoozed for an epic couple of hours this morning just because it was so comfy and it was Sunday. Figured we had missed the good early light offshore…

More lefts! (Pacifica 082115)

Looked kinda crappy out with pretty high WNW winds when we pulled into the main lot. Shortboarders going for closeouts all along the middle sandbar. I was uninspired…
