Sunny Delight

What's Up Surfriders ,

The sun came out , wind laid down and temp was up to 44 degrees . Brad , Todd , Keith and I caught a fun session with no one else around .Took both cameras out , and here is a little montage from the session . So that's why they call it high definition . Pray for surf , warm weather , and have a great New Year , Zog

A Few Chilly Closeouts

Morning Surfriders ,

Here's a few from last nights session .The tide , swell and bottom never really cooperated , but super calm with tons of dolphins and small crowd . No your eyes aren't fooling you , just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water , he's back . All in all a great day of surf and I had a blast . Working all weekend so stay safe , warm and have a good holiday. Zog

Happy Birthday Melissa !!!

Seasons Greetings Surfriders ,

Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife Melissa ! We awoke to see yesterdays sneeker swell had gotten better and caught a great session with Brad for a couple hours before anyone else showed up. 40 degree air , and 47 degree water , with no wind made for a chilly morning . The first 3 pictures are Melissa's first wave as she paddled out and caught one of the best walls of the morning . As usual windows has made some updates to it's photo editor that I have get to figure out , so no digital enhancement , just cold , grey and just the way it was . The last shot is Luke pulling out of a closeout cylinder on our last set .Stay tuned as wind is offshore and I am heading back for more. Merry X-Mas, Zog

Chilly Afternoon Glass

Hola Surfriders ,

The conditions all came together this afternoon for some super fun surf, but boy howdy was it chilly. Ole' Sunskipper produced some super smooth stomach high surf with a max crowd of 4.

Weather is supposed to go down hill over the next few days and I thought I better catch a few with the sun out and the temp was a balmy 49 degrees. Stay warm and enjoy the weekend. Zog

Gro Pro Experiment

Evening Surfriders ,I don't know about you other Go Pro owners , but I 've been wondering what kind of view I would get by turning the camera around .Sticking with CB surfrider protocol and that all research and development / testing should only be be done in the crappiest of surf, and that sure was easy today. I really didn't know what I would see with the camera having such a wide angle lens .The waves were really short and mushy , but I think it has potential . I like being able to see the other surfers and beach / background it gives the viewer perspective.Should get some cool shots in sunny overhead barrels , give it a try. Keep your fingers crossed for this weekend , and here comes the cold air. Zog

Eat This

Evening Surfriders ,
Click on the link below for some real no nonsense pits and punts from Cali Hellman Nathan Fletcher .I love Nathans hard charging style and he's not afraid to eat it chasing the glory. I love the first wave , where he gets axed in the head and takes triple flogging in the impact zone. Nathan comes from a long line of hard chargers , Walter was there in the beginning , and his brother Christian pretty much brought aerials to surfing. Anybody out there been surfing long enough to remember the Wave Warrior videos ? And you can also thank Herbie for your deck pad. Enjoy, Zog p.s.
