Toes in the Sand....

With the lack of any real swell in the water, LB and I decided to take a stroll just to get our toes in the sand for a little while. Breezy and cool today with a chilly forecast on the way. Figured we'd take advantage of the sunshine.
 




Point break potential???  :)

Clean & Funky

 
Chilly offshore winds showed this morning cleaning things up as the sun rose. A fat tide and some strange sandbars had things on the funky side over at the Rocks. Wind cranked up and the swell all but disappeared by 9 o'clock. Glad I got there early.
Aloha!

Sloppy Saturday

Two weeks since my last surf at Bolsa Chica in lovely southern California and needless to say, I was frothing to get back in the water. Sadly, we had another forecast that failed to deliver. Sunrise showed it 2'-3' with some better sets, but the wind did not cooperate. Surf that was supposed to be clean and offshore showed up lumpy as the wind turned north and made for some lumpy conditions. The new sandbars, courtesy of last month's Nor Easter, are still figuring themselves out as well. Several long lined up walls did make it fun enough to fill the stoke tank a little bit. Here's hoping for some magic tomorrow....

American Craftsman

American Craftsman Style homes abound in Southern California. This fine example is owned by a lovely couple which whom I am fortunate to call friends. The amazing cactus and succulent gardens surrounding the exterior make it all the more extraordinary.

More from the trip west: Surfboards.......

A few shots of boards seen during my visit. Had the chance to surf a few of them. Some new, some vintage, all special in their own right.
