Feast

Part 1

So there we were, minding our own business.
Happily dealing with yet another beautiful, dry winter, and making the most of whatever
marginal surf we could scrounge up. There had been a wave famine.

And then, around the middle of January,
more frequent swells with a bit more size started appearing.

2961 658x260 1

Winter swell + summer sun = crowded beaches.

9149 664x254 1

The wave starved masses came out in droves….

7165 663x317 1

And occasionally manners were tossed by the wayside.

This dude got some nice ones on his Costco Special.

Kairi Noro was shredding it.

2861 664x428 1
13115 658x409 1

This guy kept his cool and worked his way through the traffic nicely.

21122 600x331 1
22101 600x328 1
2660 642x324 1

The swell was decent, but the lulls were long.

2762 600x358 1
1507 653x451 1

Every session has a stand out,
and this one was a young Goleta grom by the name of Jake Quittner.

1881 600x413 1

Every time we turned around there he was again, breaking out of the pack on his micro
Loose Cannons Unlimited board.

1784 600x393 1
3273 600x434 1
2301 586x442 1

And having a ball doing it.

4206 600x571 1

Yew!

5201 600x350 1
10129 600x460 1

“Don’t even think about it SUPPER!”

2563 635x350 1
3053 600x378 1

We were cautiously optimistic about this being the start of our surf season.
We had no idea what was about to come our way….
Stay tuned to see more soon.
