Additional Surfing Infos
 Absolutely epic. One of the best point breaks in california, if not anwyhere....The problem: It needs a very good sized west swell to get around to the islands, otherwise its flat. Also when it does go off you will most likely be sharing it with you and your favorite 100 friends who have all been waiting for the handful of times a year the place will break.

  General If you can get this place on a good day it is deffinately worth it.

Gem
El Cap is a gem to say the least. My favorite place on earth. I surf it all the time but with the increase in people going I have started to notice a trash problem around the bench. For all you people, locals included please take your trash with you this place is to beautiful to let it be abuse I know the Chumash kept it in good shape now its our turn. Smile in the lineup.

Fun 2/2/08
Four guys out. Having fun waiting (and waiting) for some small, but perfect, set waves. Caught a few screamers. Good vibes from all.
