The Jetty Gets Angry
Surf: Shoulder High to Well Overhead waves. Jumbled up, short period surf. Angry.
I’ll admit it, I’m a little out of shape. 20 days between surf session is killer for surfing fitness. I’ve tried to do at least 20 pushups a day (made it to 40! yay!) but there’s no substitute for water time. That said, [...]

Dawn Patrol on New Year’s Day
SURF: Inconsistent, but decent waves. Waist high and mushy at the center of the beach, shoulder+ and steep at the north end. Increased frequency and closeouts as the day went on.
Mmm, 6am on New Years Day. Driving out I got to watch what was left of the Blue Moon through the trees in Golden [...]

Catching Waves on a Saturday
SURF: 3-4ft with 5ft standouts. A little inconsistent, not terribly clean but protected from the winds. Warm for the season, friendly and sunny.
Trying to wait out the high tide, Aaron and I rolled up to the Jetty early afternoon. Aaron has pretty much the raddest board ever. I need to snap a pic [...]

Early Friday at the Jetty
SURF: 3-4ft, mellow and fairly smooth.
Second attempt at dawn patrol before my new gig. I’d already lost time putting my roof rack before I even got around to picking up Mike. He was a pretty good sport with my relentless swearing and freaking out about needing to be at work by 9.
The delay [...]

Birthday Waves for Cynthia
SURF: 3-5ft. Cleaner than yesterday. Good shoulder high waves for some folks, waist high closeouts for me.
Caught a mid-day session with Cynthia to celebrate her birthday. I caught one nice long mellow right and swamped a right I should have gotten. My neck is still really tight so I didn’t get in a smooth bottom [...]

More shortboard Practice!
SURF: 3-5ft waves. Little choppy.
Gear: 6′8 Rocket
Most of the waves today up and down the coast were too big for me to catch and decent rides on my longboard. I decided to hit HMB to practice on the short board in at the jetty. It’s more protected so the waves were smaller.
I spent about an [...]

Half Moon Bay
Surf: Waves were about 1-3ft, inconsistent, breaking pretty steeply, little wind so the conditions seemed pretty clean.
Finally got out to try a different break. Surfergrrrl took me out at Kelly Ave in Half Moon Bay. Everything that could go wrong getting out there did so I wound up a good 30-45 min late. When [...]

Fun on Flat Days
It had been so warm in SF I decided to try and sneak in a surf day. It was pretty flat. A few surfers at the north end of the beach picked off waves every now and then, but things were inconsistent at best.
Instead I beach hopped down the coast, taking in the sun.
