Yes, it combines imagery with broad appeal. The owl with attitude, still life and the mysterious 19th century figure.
Solid swell today, with heaps of waves. 10-15ft (face) sets. Very tired arms now.
Rode my 7'6 Webster Spartan, and was nicely over gunned. Felt good to lay into turns with all I had.

Yes but you left out the center piece of my masterpiece the lemongrass which provides a vertical and textured surface to my pallet
Surfed a dirty queen. Overhead on sets though, and a relatively light crowd. I guess people weren’t too stoked about the bacteria bath, and I wasn’t either so didn’t stay out that long.
Last Saturday on the log was pretty fun. Took the Andreini Vaq out today at Indo Mar in head-overhead, offshore conditions. Short-ish period and high tide allowed some rights in the north corner to line up pretty nicely. Nobody sitting out there so I did. Got a bomb right away. Once in the pocket, this board trims like a bat out of hell, but I can't really get it to turn. I'll give her another couple surfs, but will probably let her go. I don't like having to nurse bottom turns. Perhaps it requires more finesse than I have.

I can’t ever figure out why his photos appear to be taken with a 2MP Casio point and shoot.style and grace from one of the erBBs most vulgar "members"
I was shocked at the OB log heaven Saturday morning. And the insane crowd. But at 1-2 feet, it's not that big of a deal. I had to go to Cardboard Car Drive In Movie Day at Ortega Library.
This thread needs more photos of Northern_Doors and his tight butt.
Doesn't that 2MP Casio have any more zoom??

His ape index is downright Phelpsian.
Mine is 2+1 but generally speaking I like mine under head high to enjoy turning and even then when coming off different craft it usually takes a couple waves to get into the groove. When you are dialed on it is a true joy. You may need to be a little more selective and give it a little more time, doubt you'll regret it. When the bars turn ever on at pump house that's a good set up for it usually. Good luck!
Locally it was 18mph onshore yesterday so I headed north to Goleta for some wind protection. Smaller up there but I found a very clean point break with a light crowd. The gutless sections weren’t a problem for the Revo with reactor quads.
The coastline up there is particularly beautiful now after all the rainfall, with the blue water, tall white and ocher sea cliffs, eucalyptus on green hills, and blue mountains in the distance surrounded by billowing white clouds.

Wonky short crumbly closeouts at local BB. Crowded too. Ugh. Varial lightblender was fine. Got a couple turns in but mostly just racing sections.
I just needed to get wet after a few days

Weak WH-CH peaks at low tide NCSD. Pretty much had to be late-dropping to catch em, but got 3-4 decent ones on plasmasym (with shapers x Album AR fins) that stood up and allowed a few turns down the line. Most just fizzled out after the drop. Pretty lackluster and then waves were completely backing off and not breaking the last 30min as the tide bottomed out. Mostly just sat and bullsh*ted with a couple buddies. Good time catching up.
