Looking at these photos in the midst of the dog days of July,
it’s hard to believe this was taken in Goleta.
But surf like this was pretty much the norm last winter.
This website, and every other surf website,
has already written enough words about the wonders of last winter.
So this page is really just another excuse to share some more photos of that long stretch of surf….
And just to reassure ourselves that we will get waves again…
Local shredders like Paul Rubin were thriving in a Goleta that was rife with surf.
The downside to all that surf on our shores was the influx of surfers from out of our area.
The crowds got thick at times.
By the time April rolled around, the surf finally began to dwindle.
And as the surf faded, so did the crowds, and the locals got back to surfing
with just a handful of friends.
And what could be better than that!
As we work our way through another summer,
we relearn how to appreciate the little things about surfing in Goleta.
Zen masters like Johnny Shields never seem have a problem with that….
Cole Robbins also knows how to make big things happen an small waves.
Enjoy the summer!
Viva Goleta.
