Half Moon Bay @ Jetty, 10 May 2009

There were some fun longboard waves to be found amidst the crowds and wind chop this morning at the Jetty. It was nice to be able to go left for a change and ride frontside. I caught a nice one with regular-foot L; he went right and I went left. Wish I had video of that.

Next surf session Thursday in the tropical waters of Hawaii! Forecast is rising south swell 2-3', air and water temperatures 80 degrees. Mmm, warm water...

Good to see you out there today. Thanks for the Waterproof camera case (now the pressure is back on me to bring the cam back in the water) and enjoy the spirit of Alo~ha!

Dawn at the beach. Air almost 50 degrees, water slightly warmer. Full moon hanging over the ocean, sun rising from the hills. Swell gently lifting my surfboard a little closer to the sky as it passes by on its way to touch the beach. Icy water trickling down the front of my wetsuit. Feet going numb from the cold despite neoprene booties and thermal socks. Two dolphins in the lineup chase silver fish, who leap into the air in a swirling mass, sparkling in the first rays of the sun. Then "pwwwfff!" as another dolphin surfaces and exhales not a dozen feet from me, before gracefully sliding back under the water. What a great way to start the day!
