Here's his impression of The Tumble, when you're held 10 feet under water and hucked around in the abyss, time after time after time after time.

 

 

 

Here's some more pics from our trip down the coast. Scott's Creek, peeling perfectly and with a perfect paddle channel. Lots of people were on it, some getting rides, it was hard to keep ahead of the break though, people were getting tubed then stomped.

 

 

 

 

 

Another one of Scott's Creek. If only we'd have a waited a few more miles and hit this instead:

 

 

 

Steamer Lane, and Razz is sick of my new camera:

Back in my van to get something to eat, somehow that belly full of seawater wasn't satisfying.

 

 

After chow, we hit Pleasure Point, why I have no idea. The Lane was empty, The Hook was its usual zoo, and the waves were 1/3 the size. We could hear people yelling at each other even from up on the cliff.

 

 

 

 

We paddled out around 38th Street and did battle with good longboarders who would catch every wave long before they started breaking. Ugh, but gorgeous sunset and great to be alive.
