SurfExcursion - 24 january 2010

We went forth into the calm after the storm.  With the low tide and semi-stormy conditions, the best local spot for the day seemed to be BirdRock.

At about mid-morning we arrived at the break and assessed the situation.  The left out in front of the park seemed to be working.  A little bit mushy and inconsistent, but the few rides that availed themselves were quality as evidenced below by the shots of my SurfMinded client:

During the holidays, we went up to see the family in Los Angeles.  

The best part about returning home is that Trestles is inevitably on the way.  

Below are some shots that are the product of the great Jill Sunshine who endured the cold and dark conditions to catch the action.

The right here at uppers was SOLID.  Despite the crowd, plenty of decent waves were to be had.  

A few weekends later I went snowboarding and broke my elbow on the last run of the day.  

Then I rode my bike home on another weekend and lost the handle.  Trying to avoid breaking another arm, I fell right onto my face and broke my two front teeth.  Needless to say, this has been the worst January ever.  The only redeeming factors have been the steady awesomeness of Jill Sunshine and my inclusion in the band, Jackpot Junkies.  I was fortunate that my injuries did not prohibit me from playing music.

The injuries have, along with the bad weather, kept me out of the water but hopefully for not much longer.

Until then, I’ll just have to keep replaying the rapidly fading memories of Trestles in December of 2009.
