Localism 101

Trestles Trail South OC

After running into disgruntle locals the other day at Sunset Cliffs it got me thinking about the topic of  localism, and how it works with Surfing. Many people are fascinated by surfing and the art of riding waves, but until they strap that leash on and attempt to catch a wave, [...]

I had the funniest thing happen to me this morning. I only call it funny now on account of how it turned out, but while it was taking place I was rather perplexed for a moment. I had just got out of the water after having a pretty fun session at [...]

Just Can't Get Enough

It was pretty small but I manged to get in a couple of turns. Lyndsey caught this sequence on small chest high wave.

Now it will be [...]
