Description:
After the last session I really wanted to get out there and combine the skills that I have with the confidence to ride the waves we had. The last session I hadn't surfed to my ability but had learnt some important lessons.
Unfortunately the conditions weren't lining up for us and today was bigger than Monday but with less shape. I caught a few waves and fell off them. I caught one in the foam and got angling, but just couldn't quite get around it and onto the face. Went for miles though... then paddled back out. I was chuffed that I was catching the waves, though. Finally I caught a nice one and got angling along the face... right up until it sectioned and I didn't manage to get round it.
This was the last session we got. The other days were either bigger, the wind was screaming onshore or the current was so strong that getting into position would have been next to impossible for me.
I've learnt a lot and can't wait to get out at my home breaks with a different view on what 'big' is.
Hoping for small GLASSY conditions when I head back next year. :) Can't wait to see it at its best in offshore conditions.

Description:
Today we paddled out the back with an escort. My dad and uncle showed us the best way to paddle out and where to sit. Managed to get cleaned up by one wave when a set came wide, but otherwise made it out the back fine.
I caught two ~head-high waves, the first I rode straight for some inexplicable reason. This left me with a massive distance to paddle back out. But I wanted to know that I could get back out the back. So I paddled wide like I was told and got there. The second wave I caught was looking really nice, but I needed to be angling more straight away. The wind was making the waves really bumpy and I ended up falling off on the second ride after hitting a speed bump.
Overwhelming experience. Hasgiven me a very different perception of my home breaks.

Description:
This was James and my first session at Tombstones. To say we were awed is an understatement. There is just so much going on. Lines of swell peeling along, the bombie off to the right, reef, coral, a cliff to climb down; the whole experience is full on.
We stayed in close and caught some reforms on the wide side. The current was fairly strong which meant paddling the entire time to try and position yourself for a decent wave.
Getting out, the tide was low enough for us to climb up the cliff.

Description:
The summer of 09, What to say? I have to say the summer of 09 was the best summer I have ever had. So many swells in the 2 1/2 months I was there. Most of the time there was light wind and wave of at least 3 feet (local scale). Some days were 5 feet occ. bigger. Threes most of the summer was going off. It was the best summer of my life and I hope it is the same or better next summer.

Description:
Update: BIG MONDAY 6:30 AM DST "Ray Bay" San Gabriel river mouth, Seal Beach. No wind, glassy conditions and a big south swell pumping from 180 degrees. Its low tide and lines are breaking all the way from "Barracuda's" at the north break wall across middles, past "Crabs" at the south jetty. Sometimes the stars align perfectly, the 180 degree swell angle threading the needle past Santa Catalina island to allow a direct hit at Ray Bay while a few miles south its either walled out or 2-3 feet!
Breaking in three separate peaks and occasionally hooking up all the way. You had to get lucky and pick the right wave, you didn't make them all but the ones you did were the ones you remember! Strong rip currents sweeping you south and out to sea at Crabs and north into the breakwater and down river at Cuda's. Caught a big left at Cuda's and got stuck inside, had to let the white water and current pull me over to middles and paddle out from there.
My two best waves were a head high stand up barrel from middles across the low tide suck up at Crabs barely making it as the wave pounded the tail of my board knocking it sideways, and my last wave!
Even though I was riding my 9'0" Quad with a thruster set up, by 10 AM after three hours, was getting pretty tired. I decided to sit outside and wait for a big set for my taxi ride in.
Sat out there for a long time, nothing, starting to get really crowded (like 60 people stretched across the bay) the tide coming in the a sea breeze coming up. Had almost given up when I saw Deon, one of the SUP guys start stroking for the horizon. My patience paid off ... here they come, mountains rolling in!
Everyone scratching outside; paddled over the first three, each one bigger than the last, saw the SUP Deon start stroking into the shoulder of a monster. Paddled into position, up the feathering peak spun around and pushed over into a late takeoff. Took the drop, hard off the bottom, back up the face and snap off the top, just making it through a big section.
Flying down the line I saw two beginners floundering inside, one guy sitting with his back to the wave, oblivious to the 18 wheeler barreling down on him! Luckily the wave was big enough I was able to go up and over their heads. No idea what happened to them must have got really pounded. As I blew through the suck up I caught up to and was now drafting the SUP in front of me ... “Keep going” ... I yelled.
We cruised together across the wall with more beginners inside scattering inside like a school of fish in front of us. Still gliding along in the high line past the rocks at Crabs, he pulled out and I rode it all the way to the sand, almost to 2nd Street!

Sunday 'Ray Bay': June Gloom, with light onshore. Waist to chest high SSW swell running with an incoming tidal push. A cold water up-welling from offshore storms has dropped sea temps to 58F plus a cool 'Catalina Eddy' sea breeze means put away the spring suit for now! Steep take off on the peak at Middles work the boomerang across the wall then up the nose on the inside sandbar by Crabs.
Don't put your feet on the bottom ... Mr Stingy and his buddy's are everywhere!

Just needed to get wet. Still no waves in Monterey. Almost two weeks without breaking waves. I did see two smaller guys breaking off these 1ft. high 30 ft long waves. It seemed like they could catch a 6 incher on their long boards. One of them was only about 12 and he was killing the shore brak with only white water. Inspirational for the fat guy on a short board.

Some peaky overhead bombs rolling through before the wind came up and the tide filled in. BIG take offs as the swell peaked on the sand bar and jacked up from refraction off the North breakwater at Cuda's.

Started to get worried about possible lightning strikes as it started to sprinkle!
A woman was killed last week in Fontana as a bolt glanced off a tree. It blew her clothing 30 feet down the street!
Woman Killed By Lightning In Fontana
FONTANA, Calif. (AP) ―
- A 35-year-old woman from Fontana was struck by lightning Wednesday while standing near a tree in front of her home. The Southland experienced unusually stormy weather the first week of June, including rain and lightning storms.
A woman has been killed by lightning in San Bernardino County, hours after another person in the county was crushed by a wind-fallen tree during heavy thunderstorms.
Fontana police Sgt. Jeff Decker says the 35-year-old woman was struck by lightning Wednesday afternoon while standing near a tree in front of a home.
Decker told the San Bernardino Sun that the victim's name has not been released.
Earlier, a woman died when a tree crushed her vehicle as she drove in the San Bernardino Mountains during a thunderstorm.
Big Bear Lake fire officials say the large pine tree, rooted near the roadside, snapped about halfway up its trunk during strong winds

Description:
Premier essai de ma première planche, c'est comme un dépucelage qui aurait tourné très vite à la semi-molle à cause de la timidité du popol vis à vis de l'imperméable un peu trop serré!
Vagues shore break, t'as à peine fait ton take off que tu te retrouves dans 20 cm de flotte!!! Pas mal de frustration au début, voir d'énervement pour me raviser ensuite car les éléments sont ainsi fait! Et les quelques secondes de bonheur que m'a offert l'océan, ont été mieux considérées par mon mental, sur la deuxième moitié de session: L'occasion pour moi de carrésser cette maitresse qui me rend insatiable en ce moment, par quelques baisers volés et quelques caresses afin de lui montrer toute ma gratitude!
Sinon, en ce qui concerne le mini malibu, ben j'en suis assez content, je sens bien que c'est plus réactif que le Natural 7'9'' de la même marque, les take off et la stabilité ne sont pas plus compliqués contrairement à mon appréhension! Il y a des points qui peuvent être considérés comme négatifs ou positifs selon le point de vue ou les conditions: je pense qu'avec cette planche, il n'y aura plus de mousses (---), ce qui m'obligera désormais à aller dans le grand bain (+++)! Vu mon gabarit, juste à la limite de cette planche en tant que débutant, je prend les vagues plus tard qu'avec le natural ou le lonboard de Jéjé (---) mais ça m'oblige à travailler ma rame (+++) et me permettra d'ici peut d'avoir une carrure à la Patrick Swaze, Héhéhé, y a plus qu'à me mettre à la danse et bientôt ça sera le dancing très très dirty, attention mademoiselles!!!!
Pour résumé, cette planche va m'obliger à progresser encore plus vite, héhéhé, mais il me manquera rapidement une board un plus longue (si vous additionnez le nom et son adjectif, vous voyez très bien de quoi je parle!!!) dans mon quiver pour me faire un minimum plaisir l'été!!!
Voili voilou!
A bientôt les tontons couilleurs!

Description:
2nd days for the girls and riding 50m long waves! Loving the long ride at Pantin. They also learned how to use the channel and get out to the break without getting their hair wet!
Should have made some shots, but I was hanging 5 on the cortez. (OK, almost.) Flo was catching loads on the NSP. Good choice to leave the short boards at home or we would have been struggling for rides.
A small week all over but we will rip anything that we can find today! No wind!

Description:
Today was one of those day where I was on my game. Maybe it was surfing with a group of friends again, maybe its just karma from working hard at home and at work.
Tide was pushing for high, in off the steps at Gwithers and over to play on Gillock rock, sucking little shoulder high waves which reformed on the inside if you could continue the motion - caught a couple there then moved across to the next peak - a perfect reeling right hander! I caught so many there I have difficulties remembering one specific ride. I know I was nose riding, pulling fat cutties and off the tops and on a few waves I even managed 2 floaters per wave (unheard of usually at Gwithers). Pulled a HUGE floater over my buddy Mede (sorry dude!). I landed so many moves and just burnt myself out. I'll be smiling for a day or two over that session.

Well I drove all the way from So Cal to Crescent City. There was little to no surf. But that being said, if you get a chance, go! What a fun mellow place. I just decided that I would not spend the money to Rent a stick and Suit. The ater is not as cold as some would think, and the weather was spectacular. Next time I will bring my own stick and surf it. I bet it can get big, but I think it is one of those cool beaches that is mostly there for fun surfing and not kamikaze acts of over machoism.
The folks up there are the nicest people. No So Cal 'tude, so don't bring one yourself. There are some great local spots up there too. But out of respect I wont say were, you will have to search on your own.

Description:
My brother came in town from Indiana, and he really wanted to try and surf. I had been dry for three years due to asthma and fatness. Got out there and got caught in a rip on a short board at 280 lbs. with no lungs. Paddled for my life for almost ten minutes. Meanwhile my Bro. on the 8 ft long board soft top cruised into the shore with two small breaks. Finally I see a fat kid like up to his waist about fifty ft to my right...DUH!!! Paralell to the shore. It Kicked in about two minutes I cleared the rip, and found some beach. I bet I looked hilarious to the guys in line-up.
Overall I decided to lose weight, start skateboarding again and now I am working on getting a wetsuit and another board.
Once I made it back to shore I spent the rest of the day body boarding in the shore break. Hopefully it won't be too long until my next session. Maybe I'll catch a wave this time.

Description:
Memorial Day: Fun session in the River. Early morning, waist to chest high with glassy conditions and an incoming tide, but super crowded due to the holiday weekend. Bunch of groms out there having fun (remember when a good session was standing up) even making up names for waves. I caught Bill and did a Kill Bill until my single 8" custom wooden pivot fin snapped clean off at the base! My Auz EPS/Epoxy 9'0" Quad has 5 Future Slots and the wood fin broke on the rear pin that holds it in and went deep six!

Paddle in no way why not go ... no fins! Short rides but slip sliding fun! Even catching a wave is a challenge as the board gyrates back and forth as you paddle. Once you take off its hard to keep the board moving across the face without sliding out by just using the down rail by the tail. Turning is a problem and it seemed that when I pressured right the board went left. As the waves hollowed out on the inside sand bar I found myself going backwards, tail first, almost pulled off a 360 but as soon as the white water hit the board skated out from under me (like standing on a Banana peel)! Stayed out over an hour riding without a fin to the amazement of the kids.

Since the waves have been to heavy for me the day before at Messanges, it slowly calmed down at St.Girons, but it was also a next to nothing session 'cause strong currents were pulling us out of the takeoff zone. It was more a paddle competition than a surf session.
