Happy Friday people! We all woke up to a nice big new swell this morning. Unfortunately the wind and weather had some other ideas for making today for surf so we did what’s best… we improvised and looked for the best place around that was working… well, semi working. Take a look!

Here’s a pretty good image of the size and how unruly and mean the ocean was this morning. Just for reference, check out Ty paddling out. He’s that little spec about mid frame by the rocks.

Danny climbed the hill above to try and get the birds-eye view with his phone. Unfortunately security didn’t like him climbing on their hill so they kicked him off.

Sorry Dario… don’t be too hard on yourself. Well, I guess I understand after seeing the damage the rocks did to your board and you told me that’s your last good board…. I’d be bumming too!

Well, I felt really sorry for Dario, but the other few guys were still out there and needed my undivided attentions. Especially watching them dodge big sets like this here.

Tony Z was one of the other rogue surfers to make the shifty paddle out this AM. Racing around the section of this unpredictable funky wave.

If you get a good one, you can get a good leg burner almost all the way in. Tony, wrapping round another section and heading for the home plate.

First peak was not showing its full potential today, there were just a few good waves coming in but not really barreling, just a good drop and a nice shoulder.
