Cold to Warm Waters

7.24.12 - LM 

Time: Dawn Patrol
Where: LM
Surfed with: Jacob, Cynthia, Luke, Marica
Swell Height: Thigh - Chest
Swell Condition: Closeouts
Board: Tweetie P 7'10

Session Highlights:
I am starting to understand why some of my surf buddies don't like surfing at LM. I have figured out that there are much better places to surf. I caught one decent ride but everything else was closed out. I was really frustrated, but like any surfer will say, "Surfing crappy waves is better than not surfing." I guess so…mumbles.

7.26.12 - Topanga (LA)

Time: Afternoon
Where: Topanga in LA
Surfed with: Jacob and Shiva
Swell Height: Thigh - Waist
Swell Condition: Mushy Rights and Lefts
Board: Shiva's Board - 7'6

Session Highlights:
Jacob and I went down to LA for the US Open of Surfing. We arrived a couple days early because I had a design meeting in Venice and met with the organizer before the event. We met up with Jacob's cousin, Shiva and went surfing at Topanga. With low expectations, we went surfing in 70 degree heavenly water. Even though it looked flat, our session turned out to be a lot of fun! We caught tons of fun sized clean waves off the rock reef.

7.28.12 - Huntington Beach Pier (LA)

Time: Morning
Where: Huntington Beach Pier (LA)
Surfed with: Jacob
Swell Height: Waist
Swell Condition: Clean Rights and Lefts
Board: Rental 9' Single Fin

Session Highlights:
Caught a bunch of great waves and got up to the nose on a couple waves. An angry dude got mad at me for catching waves and told me to relocate. Everyone else in the water was really nice and had great conversations. The water was so warm and I really wanted to take off my wetsuit. I love surfing in warm water sans booties and gloves. Next time I am going sans wetsuit too.

Time: Afternoon

Swell Height: Waist to Chest

Session Highlights:
We went out a little later and the waves were already wind blown. We caught some fun waves, but it wasn't as fun as Saturday's session.
