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!

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

Good people!

Surfing strong in Baja Norte - good times!



Baja California can be a heaven or hell experience - often the determining factor is your AWARENESS in the moment.
