XXL Rincon
I've been asking for submissions of images of BIG Rincon, and one reader responded with these images taken back in the 80's of Callie Trenary (Bowdish) at Rincon. The IQ (image quality) is not all that good, but you can see just how juicy Rincon was firing on that epic day by clicking on the thumbnail images below:

PLEASE email me either pictures or links to pictures of big Rincon so that I can post them here.
Have a great weekend, and get some surf!

Dude, is that Callie Bowdish surfing? Or she took the pictures?
She's a great photographer, but I didn't know she surfed, especially like that!
Yeppers, Callie was a surfer long before she began taking pictures. Back in mid-70's she was a dominant up-and-coming gal on the S.B. surf scene. The first time I met her was at one of those contests at Hammond's that Surf-N-Wear used to put on (1976?). Anyway, all that I remember was that she used to rip just like the local boys..
Still surfing in the 2000's. I live in Goleta where I surf the local spots and take trips up to Jalama. I still like to try and catch Rincon now and then. It's kind of strange being a used to be. I still keep up with the local boys.

Hey Callie, hope you didn't perceive the entry in a negative way. No intent to imply "used to be" status on my part... Glad to see you found the site. I always enjoy your photography, and hope to catch up with you some time. Best regards, --Jon
Jon,
Deb Trauntvein turned me on to your site! It's fantastic. The articles on Demi(parent's are long time friends) as well as Deb T. are well written and the photos are great. Thanks for keeping us all connected. I saw your brother a while back @ Campus - good to see him
Also, the secret spot on 6/18/07 - Is it Edwards?
Ciao for now -
