California Road Trip photos (edited to SHOW the photos)

Post by ocean7847 »

I'll keep the summary short and get to the pictures.
Plenty of waves, lots of great weather, wildlife galore :barf: , and some partying throughout. :cheers:

A few pics and places withheld, but I had to share a few of these.
If you know the spot, just be pleased with yourself, don't go blurting it out.

Lets get to the pictures, which will be shown South to North
(with a few switcharoos to keep it interesting and secret, right?).


EDIT: Ok, photos work now!


No secrets spot here!

This guy was completely covered the whole way across before exiting here..

One of my fav shots with my lame attempt at color effects

Surfed this little gem with a BBer

Morro Rock with a lenticular cloud

and by the time I got to the beach, the weather changed!

A not-so-unknown central cal fallback spot

Which one of these is not like the other....
Image

This setup was unreal
Image

Oh yeah, did I mention around this time that it gets kinda sharky?

Offshore wind howlin' at this knee-high break

This guy knew how to live..

The state wants to cover their ass...
Image

A reef that might come together? I was in a rush...

Peaky

Going after the top
Image

Backside tube chaser

Missing the high line sucks out here

That other pic minus the effects..

Thanks to the guys who met up with me, had a board to spare, and cut down the odds of a shark attack with me.
Look forward to surfing again!

Hope everyone else enjoys the pics! [/quote]

Made that trip back in the late 70's. some of the waves have changed little. Local fish alert still the same. The smell of the evening fire. The cold ass nights. Wet suits did not work as well back then. Wish I could have gone with you. :) :)

Fun to see all the pics and realize your trip on a larger scale. Nice surfing with you, Ocean -- hmmmmm...no pics of that "secret" reef I took you to; thanks.

No worries, I wouldn't have posted any shots from that area anyway (unless I cropped landmarks away and like on some other shots). It was a great trip, thanks for letting me try the flashpoint (not for big waves, indeed). It still amazes me that a post like this about wave chasing the whole California coast can just drop down the page after 2 days..
