    Early morning in downtown OC was very foggy making it tough to take pictures. Here are a couple salvaged in photoshop (barely).

    I was in a spring suit. I was pretty comfortable even though I was getting worked pretty good.

    Tough paddle out.

    No need to apologize.

    I really don't care what you think of me. Its one of the benefits of being old. If you are lucky you will reach an age when you just don't give a crap about what people, especially anonymous people on an internet message board, think of you.

    I quickly realized I was overmatched and decided to shoot some pics.

    If you PM me your e-mail address I will e-mail you a copy and see if I have any others. It was really tough to get pictures with the fog, but I am trying to drag something out of the files with photoshop.

    This picture epitomizes what is wrong with surfing today. Why is this kid careening pointlessly backwards out to the shoulder when he actually should be 3/4's the way through a sick wrap around lip bash to reconnect with the source? I guess he could plead stupidity. Think before you leap kids.

    maybe he landed this with enough speed to finish spinning straight into a nice full roundhouse - or maybe if he tries enough times he will do that someday.
