i am so sick of el nino
ive surfed less this winter than any previous winter in decades
so many crappy days
2 great days with 200 guys at the only surfable spots
I have only surfed a handful of times since Thanksgiving. Did not help I was gone the month of Jan but December was flat. Worst December in history. February had some good days but March has also been a bust.

Wasn't it Strawkins who got into epic debates with Surfdog about El Nino? It was entertaining and I learned quite a bit.

I had a great winter. But it's only my second since reitiring and having all the mid week mid day sessions makes a huge difference in perception...soloing head high with a little texture beats battling 50 for overhead and glassy...

Santa Monica to Pt. Conception, west is best. SD is more of a northwest kind of town.

First drought started around '85 to '92 and remember I was waiting to use single phone in hotel/cabinas very South East of the border. I look up to tv and on international news show idiots swimming under castillo off ramp:barf:
Yep, and the chick in the video was my little sister. The knucklehead was sick for two weeks after that. And got staph infection. :foreheadslap:

I remember that day, that underpass water had to have been disgusting. Those people were idiots.

A guy I know took his Nikonos and put on his wetsuit and got on his mountain bike and cruised around town and got all kinds of cool shots. Pre-digital so they're prob all lost by now.
