Seal Beach Attacks!

I love these little email surprises- submitted photos are the best! Check out the latest Seal Beach excursion to the Patch. All Photos: Elva De Jarnett Greg Escalante, freeing himself of the paddle's grip and cranking one around unassisted. MDJ exercising his right to be a goofy foot- which must feel good for a guy who probably spends a lot of time riding warm water right handers. Charlie

Expectations Zero, Stoked 11

Sam and I had another one of those mystery sessions Thursday morning. I paddled out at 6:45 and Sam was already in the water. I could see him way up past Gdubs. There were tiny peelers at Sarge's, just the kind that will dump you in the kelp. I paddled up to Sam and watched him snag about 4 waves in a row. Stoked. When I got there he told me the rules: Take off is about here, hold on through the kelp and it smooths out and gets zippy inside. He was right on. We surfed there for about an hour and… Continue

Fire, Waves and Jay Moriarity

This week has been a blast! Lots of waves all week and lots of sunshine to go with it. We scored head high waves on Tuesday and Thursday and I surfed so much my legs were shaking. We also got a nice dose of sunshine to go with it. I used to say that Santa Cruz would be paradise if the water was warm... now that I stand up surf I have a new attitude: Santa Cruz is paradise for me because I can surf in my trunks and the water is still cold enough to keep most of the world away! Santa Cruz is also… Continue

Feelin' Puny and the Waves Aren't Great Either

If I had to pick a time to be sick, now's the time. Surf is puny, and so am I.

None of the south swell is getting in, SoCal has all the good waves. Adam Wright's blog is good for getting the latest forecasting in SoCal, he writes well and is pretty funny. To get a peek at the wave action without going through Surfline, check these free cams at Huntington Beach, and Ocean Beach (OB) in San Diego. And if you can't get enough of all the places that are getting some when you're not, check the south shore of Oahu here. Click on the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. It'll give you a sweet view from Canoes to Pops and beyond. They've got a real decent (but small) south swell in the water now, running into the beach through that beautifully clear, pale, blue water. (Note: load times can be long on the Hawaii cam so...beware.) Back in my town, even the wind swell isn't giving us much, and the mornings are cold and foggy.

Not feeling like doing anything real active has given me plenty of time in front of the computer. But it hasn't been totally nonproductive. I changed my blog template, designed a new header graphic, upgraded my defragmentation program and watched some utube.

If this piece from the Derek Trucks Band and Derek's wife Susan Tedeschi doesn't get your head noddin', toes tappin' and fingers waggin' then you're sicker than I am, or dead. So enjoy. It sure made me feel better.

Lauren Rule ''Outside Hilton Head'' Paddled today

Lauren approached me about an internship project for School she needs to complete. She has to create some type of program for the company and was interested in organizing a stand-up paddle board clinic for all of the guides at Outside Hilton Head. . I agreed to help her out but insisted that she experience Stand Up Paddle Surfing first before taking on her project. This way she would have first hand involvement on the sport and would understand the sport... So this afternoon we paddled out from Shelter Cove Marina. First I had her on large stable SUP to get use to standing and paddling. After a short time of gaining confidence, I had her paddle a smaller board ''the SOS Blue'' Piece of cake for her.. . The 2 &1/2 hour leisurely paddle was enjoyable. She's hooked and wants to paddle tomorrow. ''Lets Go'' I say.........Here are a few pic of Lauren cruising Shelter Cove Marina..
Smiling and stoked on Stand Up
