please don’t. Stick to the beach with everyone else, or you’re going to ruin the less crowded spots.
I kid. But not really.
I guess it depends on which SM county beach. I was running my dog at one last Saturday and it was pretty good conditions. Two guys out. Perfect? Far from it. Looked an awful lot like OB. Shifty peaks, closeouts and some gems. Really good waves and likely a few beatings. Pretty good hike, no parking lot. I've surfed the spot, it's fairly close to OB. Never seen it on a giant day so I'm not sure how it would look. I've been running my dog there the last year and it usually sucks but has it's days.
That's what I did whenever I could. This was the first day of a new swell, bringing to end a long dry spell, and nobody was around to harass me about going out in such small waves, so I went out. Low tide and mid-week.
Unknown to me, one of my girlfriends had driven out to surprise me and took these four shots of me goofing around on a little one. Think this was in Feb. and you can see what a winter of waves does to the beach there, plus note snow in the clearcuts across the Strait on the Olympic Peninsula.
In the last pic I was trying to get my fin to release so I could side-slip a bit.
Failed. LOL
Take care.
Sharp Park, Rockaway, Fort Funston, Grey Whale Cove, Montara, a spot down some stairs by an apartment complex on the cliffs in north Pacifica. Ah sh!t, I'm naming spots. There are tons of them. Most have no cams, are usually sh!t, and light up briefly when the right combo of fickle conditions align.

I used to bike down a path to one of the afore mentioned spots when I was a kid. I walked down about six months ago. My phone said it was 33 stories down...........and there were plenty of people on the beach. No one in the water.
SF people:
Anybody got a handyman/affordable painter?
My landlord is trying to charge $350 to patch a couple pin holes and paint 4 square feet

how many holes and how big?
you are allowed to put holes in the wall if they’re reasonable in size and number per CA law. I’ve heard anything smaller than a fist is reasonable in size.
CA loves protecting tenants. Do you have time for small claims court? Probs not if you’re not wanting to DIY either.
note, Im not a lawyer but I’ve never had a landlord manage to withhold anything from my deposits that wasn’t agreed to within the lease at time of move in.

It's a couple of holes from screws (4), one got a little bigger when I removed the screws. A patch of paint came up when I removed the mirror. All together, it's smaller a few holes and a patch of pain smaller than a dollar bill. And it's behind the door. I thought he was getting the one wall painted, but he's doing everything above the char rail line.
Dude wants me to cover the cost of the painter repainting the ENTIRE bathroom because the high gloss paint won't blend. I think his contractors are over sellling him and he doesn't give 2 fucks because he can pass that cost on to me. Anyone who was out of pocket on it would just blend it as best they could and call it a day.
Meanwhile, he can write off any of the expenses while I can't.
He's a nice guy and I think he honestly just wants his place to show well, but I think the contractors are fucking him, and he has no interest in arguing.

This is considered normal wear and tear, which you are not responsible for.

Yep, tell him it’s not your problem to fix and to prove it if he thinks otherwise.
Remind him he has 21 days to return your deposit from date of vacancy and which of his deductions you agree to have taken from it and where he shall send the check.
small claims is a pain but at least you can threaten seeking damages which makes the amount he wants from you seem less appealing if he loses.

told him that I'd chip in $100 but I'm not responsible for the cost of painting the ceiling and 3 other walls with no damage.
He also agreed to give me 24 hours to find another quote, then called me to say that they already started working. The contractors are doing a full scale reno of another unit in the building.
Again, nice dude, but his 85 year old mom that lives in the building is the one who wears the pants. She's a little more ruthless. He's just the nice, English speaking Front of the House guy.

Sorry to change the subject, but I need to talk to the buoy experts.
Pt. Reyes buoy is a good indication of what's on the way in the next few hours, right?

yep. this is the solution. him telling you to get another quote is an avoidant strategy and to get you to agree to having the extra stuff addressed.
you don’t need to get a quote to paint things bc you’re not responsible for painting.
I look at buoys to the north and south of where I plan to surf to get a better understanding.
