Road Trip to Chase Swell

On Friday, July 24th a nice south swell came into Southern California. This swell brought in overhead size sets, and 25+ foot waves at the wedge.


WEDGE...






Road trip started off Friday checking all the spots...




Saturday morning...Leo Carrillo was one of the first spots we checked...




and the spot I lost my camera at...North side of Point Mugu Rock was an amazing beach, with a steep slope, harsh trough, and waves that break onshore like Westward, Newport, and Bodega Bay in one.












Next spot on the list was Campus Point in Santa Barbara. The swell played perfect into Santa Barbara because of its difficult time to consistently get waves. There were sets coming in at about waist to shoulder high waves. With some nice front side liners peeling onto the beach.

Night ended with a bonfire on Ventura beach...

Leo Session

Riding with the Ventura cats on July 12th. Winds picked up early at about 10-15mph, but that didnt stop us from riding. It was Jesse Beers' Birthday...so all the Ventura Skimmers came out. Even Dave from SlotStik came out to take some pictures.

Always a blast to skim with the Ventura guys...they are always about having fun when skimming.

Camping out Staples Center

Over nighting at the Staple Center for Michael jackson's memorial. I was part of the only news station the first night , but then as the next couple days progress, I became one of the many of news stations there awaiting for something to happen.



Me looking like I am hard at work.





Watching Joe and Kirk getting ready to shoot a live shot.



A bunch of people showed up Monday night to get a view of what was to go down on Tuesday for the memorial.
