Surf City

Hurley U.S. Open of Surfing

Traveled down to Huntington Beach this last Sunday to watch the final day of the competition. I had never seen pro surfing live and found a good spot on the pier to snap some shots. These guys make it look easy but it isn't. By Sunday the high surf advisories were over but there were still some big sets coming in early before noon. The final was at 12:40pm and by then, the swells had died out. My first time surfing was more like getting my ass beat by a drill instructor than having any fun. It's hard work man! But, playing in the Sea is like starting over. It clears the mind.

Oh man I got skunked this year. No trout for me. For the last three years I been going earlier in the season-April or May. It's cooler and makes for better trout fishing. The only fish I saw hooked were all Carp. No thanks. But, turned out I was in a prime spot to see the fireworks so I reeled in my lines and watched the show. Took a few pictures too.
