After a really great surf session at Terra Mar with the boyz this morning (head high, perfect conditions, no crowd; Terra Mar was doing it's thing!) decided that some of the La Jolla reefs deserved a look see. The Santa Ana's were really kicking up and it was 76 degrees when we pulled into (finally) a parking space near Children's Pool. The crush of humanity was unbelievable but heading south on Coast Blvd most of that was soon left behind. The swell size and direction, the howling offshores, and the tide was just what the La Jolla reefs needed to spring into life. Nearer shore, the skim boarding community was having a great time and putting down some great moves. All in all, a great day from start to finish.

| I know, I know but look at that wave! Unbelievable! |

| This was the "easy" part of the wave. |

Have a good day
