Biscuits for Lunch (Capitola 021613)

Two days ago, Max wanted to stop by Arrow to see if there were any used shortboards that were closer to his height. We saw a Santa Cruz…

Favorite Sesh (Capitola 021113)

Today’s sesh goes down as one of my all-time favorites. Initially had low expectations with an unexpected crowd out (some kind of school holiday) and a building swell….

Mellow Saturday (Capitola 020913)

Pleasantly surprised to find bigger waves on the outside than expected while we did a surf check and ate our food. A seagull swooped up Max’s bag of…

King Low Tide Friday (Capitola 020813)

Smaller today at 2′ but still super fun on a king low tide. Waves were breaking far out past the kelp, rolling in through the middle and reforming…

Still some of that WNW swell (Capitola 020413)

Missed the bigger swell this weekend so I was itching to get out today. WNW swell was fading but still some force out there and good clean waves….

Lucky (Capitola 013113)

Felt lucky to live in Capitola today. Even though it looked pretty flat initially, as soon as I paddled out, regular small to medium fun waves rolled in….

First Time on the M10 (Capitola 012813)

Small window to surf today in between meetings. Bought a used 6’6″ M10 Tomahawk yesterday from Arrow surf shop on a whim. The board is made by local…

WNW and Offshore (Capitola 012613)

Glad Max said to go out today even though I was indecisive after seeing a huge overhead outside set roll through a couple of hours earlier. It was…

WNW Swell (Capitola 012113)

The WNW swell is still holding up after a powerful 22s period this weekend with HH waves on the eastside. In SF, Ocean Beach was firing at triple…

Low Tide Bumps (Capitola 010813)

We’re on a king tide again with super high this morning and negative low in the afternoon and the WNW swell’s faded since yesterday. It was rolling up…

Birthday Waves (Capitola 010713)

Birthday surf! Slept in, had coffee on the porch and enjoyed the sun and weather, warmer than it’s been the past three weeks. Arrived at the beach at…

Fun-size West Swell (Capitola 010413)

Smaller today but clean and fun. Saw Nola catch a left while we were doing our surf check. Lots of lines in different spots. Had a harder time…

Steep and Fast for the New Year (Capitola 010113)

First surf of the year turned out to be awesome! We slept in, missing the morning low tide but figured things would pick up again as it dropped…

Last Sesh of 2012 (Capitola 123112)

Felt great to get out this morning. It’s been cold (40-50) the past two weeks with winter storms and rain every couple of days over Christmas, making the…

Good-sized NW-WNW (Capitola 121912)

Today was spectacular: more size and power than the past sessions with consistent sets coming in and perfect wave after wave. After several low tide/dropping sessions where you…

After the King Tide (Capitola 121412)

The king tide meant high was over 6.4′ so we waited for it to drop to 2′ this afternoon. Watched some heats for the final day of Pipe…
