Nice photo compilation from the Goleta Surfing blog

years end

Beautiful sunrise for those out early, 36 degree air temps and weak swell kept me on the beach.

Optimist

 
I admired her optimistic spirit but couldn`t follow her example, water too cold and dirty for me. I went to work to make up for the lost rain days.

Christmas Eve

The sun is out, some surf breaking , Santa rides through on a Harley, Pooch handing out Christmas cards to strangers in the parkng lot, all three bars doing a brisk business, another Christmas eve at the pier. God is good.

like a virgin...

Tried something new today, I`d bought a 4GF mat recently but have been reluctant to try it. Today I finally left the board in the car and took the mat out in marginal surf on a sunny afternoon. I tucked it under my arm and sheepishly headed across the sand, the deserted beach perfect for my initial awkward explorations.So many questions, which end is the front? where do I position my weight? Arms and legs to paddle? What am I doing with this thing? I`ll keep at it till I figure if it`s gonna work for me!
