War!

I checked out the DK Wars contest today. I was stoked to see some of Cali's top DK talent.

And talent there was - Won Ton, Manny Vargas, Joe Grodzen, Wally Sani, Stan Moniz, Nick and a bunch of others whose names I don't know, but were putting it down on the knee just the same.

Alex and I were amongst many others taking pics of the event.

Empty Agenda

I didn't have anything to do this morning besides enjoy today's holiday and meander around the South Bay - I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Not Surprised

The website that I checked this morning called for surf in the two to four foot range. Considering this website overestimates the surf size rather regularly, I wasn't surprised when I pulled up and saw pretty small surf. Can't complain, though, especially with this nice weather.

Winter Slumber Over

Maybe it was just my imagination, but the waves looked a lot better both before I got in and after I got out. Whatever the case, it felt good to get some sponge time in since I hadn't actually surfed for a good month.

Shooting the Pier

There was lots of pier shooting going on this morning. I thought it would be cool to get some pics of dudes getting shacked by the pier. I got a few pics, but the lighting wasn't really ideal for what I had in mind, so I quickly abandoned that idea. However, it's definitely something I want to mess around with when the conditions cooperate.

A-Frames and Sharks

Happy New Year!

There were some nice little a-frames peeling this morning. Trouble was, they were really little a-frames. More size, and today would have been a great start to 2011.

I saw a pretty good sized school of sharks. Fortunately, they were of the harmless variety.
