Sunday Morning Capitola

Chicas stroking!
Chicas yapping!

Took the spouse and cousin to the church of SUP at Capitola, CA. Foggy conditions on arrival. Waves were 1-2 ft, seas were relatively calm and wind was probably around 2-5 nots from the SW. Arrived around 8:50 a.m. and the women were in the water by 9:15. Sun peeked out around 11:15 and the wind kicked up about that time.

Several longboarders were surfing off the point and vendors were setting up their wares for the art/craft fair. A large band was playing oldies on the stage and people were enjoying the relaxed atmosphere. Women took a break around 11:15 and I took the quad/coffey over to privates to catch a few waves and get some exercise. Managed to keep dry, keep the hat on and not lose the sunglasses. Spent about 30-40 minutes total time and turned the board back over to the wife. The ladies went back out for about 30 minutes into a steady breeze and called it quits after almost reaching their target buoy. They saw lots of dolphins, seals, pelicans and were even warned about a pirate.

Southern Baja Trip



Spent two weeks 6/8-22 in 2010 surfing Zippers, El Tule, Old mans and La Roca in Southern Baja. Beautiful weather, mellow crowds, sharp reefs and heaven if you like summer surf. The spouse managed to snap two pictures of publishable quality and hopefully will get a few more from another surfer down the road. The first picture is at El Tule and the second from La Roca.
