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?
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.
- 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.

I won’t lie as I don’t really feel great about ever talking about sharks or shark attacks. Call it a surfer’s superstition. Anyways, no one was hurt in this sculpture of Jaws swallowing the Cardiff Kook. Caught it this morning while driving down 101. There were quite a group of people gathered around the bottom of the Cardiff Kook as I was not the first to catch this. I have seen many good Cardiff Kook exhibits as people dressed him up as Uncle Sam for the Fourth of July and many other great costumes, but in my mind, this is definitely the best.
Anyways, just getting started here on setting up my surf blog. I am an avid surfer and surf traveler in the San Diego area. I have lots of stories to share and photos I have taken over the years both locally and on surf trips. I thought I would start this blog as a way of centralizing all of this content for friends and family. Please let me know what you think and feel free to send me an email from the About page.
