Thanks JP, there's a lot going on out there. The Internet makes it so easy to look in from time to time. Here's something a bit more local. Swung by LBTS and the pier last weekend.
Had some nice little swells wrapping around the pier. A guy on an Island Wave Ski catches one and breaks to the left while the surfer breaks right. I was blown away by the mobility and ease of catching waves when I first saw a waveski in Melbourne about ten years ago. The aerials weren't too shabby either. Picked a (too) small one up from
http://www.waveski.com/, thought I could grow into it, whoops. You should know how to eskimo roll without ripping your shoulder out and be able to throw them fast. Or, be good at breathholding, well one out of two isn't too bad.
Barrel hunting
Looks happy
This guy had an interesting trick of surfing underneath the pier and to the other side. Watch out for those sudden hard stops!
Cowabunga!
