Mid 70’s

It was another one of those days here in San Diego that really makes you understand why people move here from all over the country. Fun waves and perfect weather. I took out my single fin and had a great time. Dad wound up taking a nap instead of filming so I’ll have some Bali Single footage down the road but unfortunately not today haha.

2/18/12 at the institute

I had a great session today. There were lots of ramps and also lined up walls to hit. Here is a picture somebody snapped of me this morning. I found it on www.surfinside.com under “surf reports” and then click on the calendar with todays date. There is one shot before this but unfortunately they either didn’t take the rest of the sequence or just didn’t post it. This was a no grab air reverse that I made. I was riding my 5’6″ Rusty small wave blade that Pedro Battaglin made me and it was going great. Remember to order up your small wave boards before the summer rush!

Binocular iPhone photos

We had a quick, strong burst of north wind which made the visibility here in San Diego much, much further than normal. San Clemente island sits only 70ish miles off the coast of La Jolla but you can rarely ever see it. So when I noticed how visible the island was around sunset(2/16/12), I jumped into action. What I wound up doing was lining my iPhone up with a pair of binoculars and the results weren’t bad. The first is of north coronado island. The second is point loma, and the third is of San Clemente island. San Clemente has some spots too! It’s so close yet so far away.

R. Single Fin

I’m super excited because I just picked up my Bali Single. I got to ride one of Kerrs Bali Single fin boards this summer and I loved it. So naturally when opportunity struck(Rusty came in to the store on my birthday), I asked for the same board with a different airbrush. I can’t wait to ride it because it looks insane! Thanks Rusty!
