Being a photographer, you sometimes have yeld to mother natures moods, but then again that’s where being a photographer comes in handy because you always need to be creative with what you have. Even when the light wasn’t that great and despite the endless day of nonstop rain.

Nicely groomed sandbars and a modest little swell in the water were my saving grace today.

Perfectly tapered little over head peelers through the mid tide going out is where you wanted to be today.

Mike is fan of this wave. That’s why he built one of the best homes that sits right in front of this iconic little gem.

Rain or no rain, this place will still always deliver come winter season, whatever the deniers will say. I can say this because I live here the entire year!

Who parked this tree in the lineup??? Someone call the HOA!!! Jajajaja inside joke.

Because of the dreary weather, I didn’t really have much intention of staying longer than being able to get a few shots just to use for the surf report, but to my surprise I found myself shooting longer than an hour because it was this good!

A lot of people went home today, so the lineup crowd wasn’t too crazy.

Even Papa Kerson finding some little nugs all to himself.

Lucky for me, I had the premier NSR beach house to shoot from while it rained the day way.

Barrels were what were on tap out there, for sure! But there were a few sick turns!

BOOOOM!!!

Jason is always putting on a little clinic, rain or shine!

See what I’m sayin’!

Mystery barrel surfers….. there were way too many today to count!

Ahemmmm…. seriously, I wasn’t joking!

Well, it was a roller coaster of a weekend, right John. From torrential down poring rains to breached river mouths with VW sized tree trunks lining the beach, to epic glassy conditions and endless barreling brown waves…. this weekend didn’t disappoint!
