The Get Away

Papi and I shared this great wave, laughing and hollering all the way to the stairs.

Met up with Steve this morning and hit our regular reef.  Really fun waves with some good energy.  It was a slightly less consistent than it had been over the last few days, but if you were patient, held your ground and waited in the right spot, you were rewarded.  Watch out for the new video coming online in about a week.  Should be a good one!

Steve taking down probably the wave of the day.  

Particles. 

Papi taking down a good one with a shaka!

Here comes Tom...

There Tom goes.

Nice and Frothy.

I always have a great time surfing with Papi.  Great style and skill, but the his stoke is what I enjoy most.

Flopping Around

Surfed a sunny SoCal Sunday at The Cliffs (again!). I'm missing the beach breaks but the reefs have been lighting up over the last few weeks. Didn't surf as well as I wanted to, had a lot of sea water running out of my nose for a day and a half, but well worth it. Got some redemption on a few waves.

Sunday Afternoon

Tim looking down the line.

Busted out the GoPro once again at The Cliffs.  I didn't surf as well as I wanted too, taking four spills on some lined up nuggets.  But it was fun and had redemption on a few rides.  The vibe was great as always.  Stoked to have seen so many familiar faces from my side of the County out that way. 

Trying to catch up.

Victor going right.

SUP's are alright in SoCal... I guess.

Martiza found one all to herself. 

One wave I didn't f' up.

Christmas Eve Surf

Wide open spaces.

Surfed The Cliffs with Paul and Steve (not the Steve who share's my B-day with.  But I wish you were there bud).  Got some pretty good pictures of some stoked out peeps with some fun chest high swell.  Merry Christmas everybody!  Have fun with the family, open all those presents and hug the people you love the most.  And be safe.  We still got New Years!

The early morning drop.

Taking flight.

Best Christmas party ever!  That's Kiwi Hippie "The Burglar" on my tail.  All three of us shared with this wave and had a blast doing it!

The fade.

Setting it up.

The left was great this morning.  It kept jacking up as it inched closer to the cliff. 

I'm almost in the way.  But he has it under control.

Deep breath.  Exhale.

Using a bit too much rail there sir.

Sunday at Scripps

Right into the sun.

Took the GoPro out this morning and got a couple shots.  Swell was small, but it looked like that new swell was in the water during a couple sets.  Smelled the bacon and hash browns coming from Coraline's so I left a bit early to grab some brekky with the wifey.  Sorry if I couldn't get some folks in like I promised.

My new little bud, Lil' Mac.

One of the better waves today.

I see this guy out a lot and I give him big props.  If your gonna ride a longboard, ride it right.  Like this guy. 

Another longboarder who rides correct. 

Lil' Mac going right on his sponge.

And the seflish selfie on one of my better rides. 

Lazy Wednesdays

Here is the video that is an addition to the photos from my last blog "Cliff Diving".  Couple of nice rides, good people and great vibes.
