New Swell Building (Capitola 011814)

Busy first week back at work meant no surfing for five days since Hawaii. Slept in this morning, then jumped in the car and drove from SF to…

A Hui Hou (Waikiki 011114)

Last morning in Waikiki before our 2pm flight. Set the alarm so we could get up (whatever with sleep) and get a fast surf in. Plan was to…

Tropical (Waikiki 011014)

Sun was in full effect for most of today making it hotter than the past couple of days. Caught some small, soft waves in our own spot with…

Mellow (Waikiki 010814)

Overcast today, rainy and a little chilly (for Hawaii) and it looked realllly small. I rented the 9′ Donald Takayama noserider again, hoping for more of yesterday’s fun….

Birthday Waves (010714)

Such a fun, relaxing session today. Couldn’t be any luckier to be celebrating my birthday here in Waikiki with Max, feeling lucky to have my family and amazing…

Tiny Ones (Waikiki 010613)

Today was just as small as yesterday and a bit weaker making it harder to catch waves on my 8′. Probably should’ve been out there on a 10′…

Little Peelers (Waikiki 010513)

Didn’t paddle out until later afternoon today and had super low expectations since it looked pretty flat and crowded all day. But we found ourselves a nice spot…

300th Surf (Waikiki 010413)

I wanted to try my Revolver after that 10′ board so we went back to the room, ate some food, grabbed our 8′ boards and headed back out…

Big Board, Tiny Waves (Waikiki 010413)

Surf checked from the lanai showed it was, as forecasted, really small at under 1′. We had buffet breakfast and then headed down to the beach to get…

Small Waves (Waikiki 010314)

Happy new year from Hawaii! Arrived yesterday to overcast, rainy weather, but yes, it was warmer than I’ve felt in months. I could see whitecaps far below in…

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….
