Rockaway
Surf: 2-4ft, Mellow and Crumbly. Sunny. Board: 5’10 Retro Fish. With summer on it’s way, I’ve been eying a few smaller wave shortboards on craigslist. The shortest board I’ve been able to stand up on was something like a 6’3 or a 6’4 so I figured I’d try one of Josh’s little fish and see [...]

Small Wave Holiday
Surf: 1-3ft. Inconsistent but clean. Warm sun, low winds, blue water. Sunny and warm down in SC. Small waves, relatively small crowd given it’s a holiday, and lots of kelp. I got one very dramatic over the nose of the board pitch when I came to a dead stop mid wave on a big clump [...]

Surf: 2-4ft. Inconsistent and soft on the low tide, picked up as the tide came back. Fun, but storming morning in Pacifica. Driving rain, thunder and lightning, slightly jumbled waves.

Big gold waves moody clouds. The surf was big. I tend to get skittish around 4ft on the longboard. It’s a lot [...]

Slosh Patrol
Surf: Mixed up, 2-4ft waves with 5-6ft occasional standouts. Very sloppy, inconsistent and hard to catch. Early morning waves were looking pretty messy. Paddled out, sloshed around, and got some exercise. Looong paddle out on the longboard. Plenty of pushback. Great sunrise through the fog though.

Windy
Surf: 1-4ft. Blown out, closing out. Warm sun but too windy and small for most people. Gear: 9’4 Aside from the screaming winds, it was a warm, beautiful day up in Bo. The 9’4 was back from the shop and I was more than happy to get it back in the water. Bo was small, [...]
