I mean that the graininess, and flat colors show that it was a really cold and dismal morning in this particular one.
We didn't even hop in! But we did happen to discover a super cheap log at a certain board swap while heading back to the car...

Setting the Mood
Sometimes, when I'm really lucky, the colors in my photos will tell a story.

October Lefts
Erica and I uncovered a beautiful little left, right under our noses!
The conditions made for absolutely beautiful surf yesterday, and the swell made for some pretty fun surf.
Anyways, I took some photos with my underwater disposable camera... and here are three shots from that roll!

Offshore...
Well... It's started... I woke up this morning and saw the flags blowing toward the ocean.
70 degrees at 7 am. Offshore winds. Now all we need is some swell! My goodness, I love Fall.
Also, we're going international: JAPAN LOVES ERICA

I just found this out through checking out the site because of a friend. Super sick that Quality Peoples did a little write up about me. Look mom! I'm Internet famous!

1990-(could have been 2010)
Erica and I decided to head up to La Jolla in between classes today, first mistake.
We pulled up to the beach and it looked really fun! Mostly big and stormy, and I really wanted to take out Ryans FishHull.
I put on my suit, and paddled out as fast as I could. I could immediately tell that it was really powerful.
I dropped in on my first one, to get the heebeejeebies out... It felt fine, and I paddled out for some more.
That didn't go over too well.
As soon as I ducked dove under the first one, the leash string got sucked out of the board, and I had to swim frantically for it.
Seeing the sets line up the back, I decided to head back in to fix the leash. BAD IDEA.
The next couple of minutes literally felt like hell. I have never been so scared of dying in my life.
I held on to the board as long as I could, but when an overhead shorebreak wave doubled up in like 2 feet of water, I threw the board over and tried to swim underneath the massive whitewash.
I managed to get in knee deep water and ran faster than I've ever run to the sand. The board didn't fare as well.
I saw it sitting on some rocks, but by the time I got to it, a giant wave slammed its nose into the rocks :(
I'm really sorry Ryan for breaking your special board... I hate breaking things, ESPECIALLY when it's not my stuff.
Anyways, I hoped you enjoyed my saga. Yup, I'm a b*tch.

Ma boy Ryan
Erica and I visited Greg for fall break this year. While we were up there, Ryan let us hang out in his shop while he shaped a board really quickly. Seriously, it took him like 40 min. Unreal.
