Summer Sux
. Fuck you SUP's and all of your GO Pro cameras on your oars.
The McDonald's of surfing bloated obese easy quick gimmie gimmie now now surf culture.
"But that wave was just too good to not have on video"
"But but I was holding onto my board" (holding your leash is not the same)
"But it's not my fault if my truck can fit 4 longboards and we all want to surf together"
FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Road
Last coupla days are the first days of summer as far as I'm concerned. When I drive down this road at 4am it means Souths are flowin'! Only wish the road was still unpaved.
Added bonus of a phosphorus light show this morn in the dark. Trippy to see your hands and feet glowin' in the ocean. Caught more than a handful before the "regulars" showed up. And even then, not many of them did.
Yesterday was better.
Fishin'!!!!

Self-made
Fuckin' love this photo. Especially because name of it is "Cliff, '76 on a self-made Bonzer".
Fittin' since my self-made worked the best it has ever gone today. My feet are finally feelin' it. My weighting is finally realizin' it. Figurin' out a board is the greatest fun. Lovin' the 5'3" fatty. But really, the ocean did most all the work. I just held on.
My little spot finally is sandbarin' up. West is the best. Get here and I'll do the rest...

Heady
Foggy, fishin' and burnin'.
Thick lovely fog. Spliffin' in the bushes beforehand. Rocksteady. Had the day off and needed to see how the other side of the homemade board felt.
Less shape but better when the tide got higher. Talked to a guy who paddled out later in the morn who said "good to see it is that time of year again, where I see you runnin' down to the ocean at 5am stoked".

Lovin'
Good lumpy high tide lovin' this morn. Thought it would be a good day to dust off the dust from the last lam and try out my newly homemade fatty. She's 5'3" and red rice and beans definitely didn't miss her. About 21 3/4 wide.
A couple steep drops to closeouts.
A couple feet in the wrong spot.
A couple of kook outs.
Then a couple of speeeeed burners.
Love the board already. She's fast. Gonna have a real good time this season.

Lumpy Crowds
Redondo Breakwall crowded even way back in '61.
Well that long weekend kinda sucked. Sure there were good waves but the kooky crowds were everywhere. You'd get a spot to yourself for a 1/2 hour only to see groups of 4 running down to your break. Forgot my wetsuit one day after a pretty long drive to a certain spot. That sucked. Basically a lot of driving for lumpy waves and frumpy crowds.
Highlight was one day I was at a jetty and some tool in a green wetsuit come walking out on the jetty to jump in. The waves weren't that big to not paddle out in dude. The best part is this jetty doesn't really have a jump in rock at the end, just barnacles and this kook was trying to figure out how to jump in for a 1/2 hour. Ha! Then he preceeded to paddle violently for every fucking wave that came in. Joke was on us.

Sea Smoke
Early week big dumpy swells. Slowly turning into later week shapely walls.
Beachbreak lovin'. I've missed my winter spot. Not many around, bars fixin' up and still warm water.
Got the bonus of a deep foggy morn today. Wish it could be foggy every morning. Keeps people away and keeps them on their cells talkin' "well bro, I can't see the waves yet so I am gonna stand here and keep drinkin' coffee" as I'm out getting the foggy goods.
