Labor Day weekend 2012

We left Fri morning around 8am and had a slow drive south. Nothing fancy except one last chance to get some serious deep rail digging turns before the water turns cold for the winter. It's funny how Neptune comes thru when you need it most. Solid swell and hot sunny daze were forecast and much appreciated.

Anybody know this guy? He is 30 days from heading back to Oz. A cooler guy I don't think we've met!

Lorena modeling for the finished product! She surfed really well also!!!

I don't know how buzzed the fotog was but I kinda dig this shot... Waterfall effect.

This is the best wave of the summer for me! Too much work offshore and I am regulated to scraps. That's my 8'6" Seagull digging in deep and ready to scream down the line towards the race track!

Until next time!

Lorena put quite a ding in that rail man.

We thought we saw you guys heading down Friday at 10AM in Santo Tomas. White Tundra with boards on top but a kid was driving.

She and Jose (not the guy pictured) were ripping. They left for Ensenada before we did.

Good people!

As she should! I asked Mike to make it a retro sculpture, notice the single fin or are your eyes glued to the rail?:lol:

Nice stacked up lines. Baja Norte rocks even more nowadays it seems like.
Hey i met that guy on the sand here in TS, his jeep broke down so he camped out for a week or so while it was repaired.
Nice turn compa...
