Surfing photos and stories…thoughts of a surfer!

I just wanted to throw in a thought after surfing D St the other night.  Some kids were drinking on the stairs, and as me and my buddy were walking out to the water, this kid launched a 40 onto the beach right next to us and didn’t even look when he threw it.  It could have plugged one of us in the head (and he would have paid the price dearly if that would have happened).  Nevertheless, why do you need to throw beer bottles onto the beach! Get smart kids…if you are drinking, don’t be idiots! There were a number of adults on the beach shaking their heads.  I hope one was your neighbor and told your dad what a moron you are.

It looks like the Cardiff Kook is very excited about the Royal Wedding and dressed up to show it’s support!

No surf this weekend for me…although I heard there was a small swell in San Diego. We decided to head out to Joshua Tree for some bouldering and camping.

Forgot how much fun the beach breaks are up in Oside Harbor on a smaller day. Had a great day up there yesterday and a nice but sloppy day in Leucadia this morning.

Man, there was some good surf last weekend in North County SD, but it is going to be small this weekend! At least we finally have summer! Taking out the old 10′ surfboard today in Cardiff. At least there is some warm weather and water this weekend.

Man…it has been a couple of weeks since we have seen any waves in Socal. Felt like I was really scraping the last couple of days surfing shorebreak. Is there any end in sight?

I just booked a surf trip to El Salvador for this November. If you have never checked El Salvador out, the right hand point breaks there are off the hook. There are many waves that rival Rincon, but the area gets way more swell than the Santa Barbara area. Stayed at El Salvador Surf Camp last time which was well priced for what you get and has a great staff. I booked this surf trip with them again but am taking the girlfriend and staying at the Boutique Hotel this time which looks really nice. No surf vacations planned before this one so I am looking forward to it and hoping for good swell.

Just watched this interview with the creator of the Cardiff Kook shark attack scene from about a month ago.  Check out the link…

Cardiff Kook Goes to Prom?

Cardiff Kook Goes to Prom?

I heard there was a prom party put on last weekend at the VFW in Encinitas.  Drove by the Cardiff Kook later that day and noticed he was dressed up for the event…not bad! I think I am on to the culprits on this one.

US Open of Surfing

Good lip hit at the US Open of Surfing

Went up to Huntington Beach last Friday to see the US Open of Surfing.  Got a few good surf pictures and a nice lifeguarding picture I think you will like posted below.  What an event.  Lots of people, music, bikinis, vendors, and of course lots of surf heats.  Watched a few of the mens and womens.  Kelly Slater had a really good heat.  Luckily there was some swell on friday as Thursday was dismal in North County SD.
