Skcedric;
I really loved that shot. It's not one of the Humboldt County lagoons, is it? Or are we way further south.

Darwin. It's a bit south of Humbolt. Pillar Point at the North end of Half moon bay.
Gopro's wierdly distort the waves so often you can't tell how big the wave was. Tube shots from behind or hand/mouth held seem to be the best. THat and the squirrel suit shots. My son messing around with his gopro.
A friend of mine riding a 6'4" I made him at a spot just below the UCSD campus. Photo by Dylan Hadley. That whole curtain fell in front of him and he had to punch thru the thing. You can just see it starting to form. Brant making the most of the end of the day at Blacks. Dylan just nailed the color.

That's a sick pit right there.
One of the few places I wished I were goofy.

My kid came back from surfing today and said he lost track on how many barrels he came out of. Just a big smile on his face! Looks like today is a clean, fun day out in SD. It's cool when something the kid likes stokes him out so much. These are definitely some of his better days.

Jefe. Today it was Torrey Pines. Very tidally dependent and likes 2 to 3 foot high tide in or out. Still fickle as hell though and blows out super fast. But he surfs blacks and various reefs in La Jolla, depending upon the day. He's been dealing with depression and anxiety, so some days he is not up for dealing with the crowds.
Yea the board. Tails kinda trippy, no? It's a double gun tail essentially. One of my designs. Check out the tail of this 10"6" Todos gun and you'll see what I mean.
edit; I guess it's hard to tell 'cause of the scale of the board, but I tend to put an ellipse at the end of big wave boards rather than a point, unless they ask for a point. It's not the point that holds, its the width of the tail and the rail profile that make the board hold.

Complimentay pursuits? No, except, perhaps, with ice climbing.....water being the common denominator.
