Weekend Warriors Score in May

Crowd Factor Detracts Only Slightly From Surfers' Stoke


Trunking it: water temps in the mid'50's...


Local shredder Jason Campbell pulls a u-turn...

An anomolous Northern-Hemi swell brought shoulder- to head-high surf to Rincon over the weekend, providing unseasonable stoke to the local community.  Extremely high daytime temperatures in the mid-ninety degree range allowed many to trunk it in classic style.  Callie Bowdish was at the point on Saturday, and has put together a web gallery of excellent images including many recognizable locals here: http://homepage.mac.com/cjbowdish/RinconMay2008/ 

Thank you Callie for sending us the link!

I too was shooting both Saturday and Sunday at Rincon.  Unfortunately, my primary computer is down, and it will be a little while before I can publish online photo galleries from the weekend...

Mini-Tube Perfection Thanks to Goleta Surfing's Tom Modugno


Have you ever fantasized about the ability to shrink yourself to a size small enough to surf the perfect little mini barrels that we get along the local coast during the Summer months?  If you have, or, if you simply want to check out some cool images of empty tiny waves, visit Tom Modugno's work on Goleta Surfing  by clicking here.
