Pancake Flat

Yeah, yeah, we know. It’s summer. Although you wouldn’t know it by the weather.
But you can sure tell by the surf.

All up and down the coast of Goleta, flatness.
Living in the valley of the shadow of the islands.

Luckily, there is always something to photograph,
but that doesn’t quench the need for surf.

You ever notice these palm trees at Campus Point?

Gaviota Coast had some waves. 6 -8″ on sets. Really clean.
This guy would have loved it.

Haskells, flat.
But some good news here, the sand is coming back. These were taken at low tide, but
still, way better than it’s been in years.

Footprints in the sand….at Haskells!

What’s this?
Yes, we couldn’t take it anymore, so we drove down to Ventura to
remember how to surf.

There we found some fun little closeouts and met up with some of the local crew
down there. This is Ed, enjoying some glass.

Longtime Ventura surfer, John Scheer, stoked as a grom.

Moral of the story: You want to surf in the summer and you live in Goleta?
Get in the car and drive.
