GoPro

So I bought this really amazing little device called a GoPro. Im pretty stoked on it. I can finally get some footage of myself surfing. I made a custom mount for the side of my bodyboard and took it out this morning right at dawn with Ryan. The waves were kinda small, but I managed to get a few of the bigger waves of the morning.

The Search

not the Ripcurl one.... Lately I have been on a quite unsuccessful quest to get a good barrel shot with somebody surfing. I do always end up scoring some pretty nice empty shots though.

Goldfish

This past saturday I drove up to Cayucos to shoot the annual Volcom Goldfish event. A massive swell rolled in the night before, and at dawn the competitors woke up to 15 foot waves. The event was almost called off but most people said just run it. It was pretty hectic out there. I shot all day and burnt the skin off my face, but I had a good time. I met some really cool people and it was a great opportunity.

Sometimes I hate Santa Barbara..

and sometimes I love Santa Barbara. After days like this, I come to appreciate the beautiful area that I currently reside. What better way to spend the evening than in the ocean with friends. I honestly have no idea how people live away from the coast.
