Monday Stoke (Capitola 022414)

Worked the past two weekends so we got to take this Monday off and savor a rare, uncrowded weekday surf in Capitola. Slept in at the hotel and…

Reunited (Capitola 022314)

After three weeks out of the water*, today seemed like a dream. Being in the ocean again was enough to get me stoked and relaxed. It was a…

Return to the Chop (Pacifica 020114)

Didn’t drive down to Capitola today for the first Saturday in many weeks since it was going to be really small. Hello, Linda Mar. Looked so-so from land…

Pure Fun (Capitola 012614)

When the waves are perfect and the crowds don’t seem to impeded on any wave you want, it’s really pure fun. Smaller today than yesterday but still good…

Long, Speedy Rides on a WNW (Capitola 012514)

There’s been swell in SC this past week but we’ve been so busy at work. Watched the Mavs contest yesterday and saw those guys paddle into 40ft+ waves….

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…
