SoCal went SoQuick!.......

I'm now sat at home with a mug of tea, trying to work out what time of day it feels like. The clock reads 00:31 and I've been awake for over a day but strangely feel wide awake. In my wide eyed state I've taken the chance to browse through my photos from the past week and reminisce over my little adventure.........


After such a consistent run of surf, at the end of the trip we decided to pack up our boards and head up to LA a day early. A cheap Motel6 was booked just off Hollywood Blvd and we were there, proper tourists armed with cameras!


We saw the sites, Venice beach, Beverly Hills, Walk of fame, Chinese Theatre, the list goes on.....


Hollywood was buzzing at night. We did the done thing of hitting up Hooters for a meal and then on to the pubs and Club. After a quiet chat with a pretty sound promoter we boycotted the queue and gained access to a rad club called Supper Club. The sound in this place was off the scale, sick dubstep tunes and huge bass drops were being blasted out by the DJ. $1000 bottles of champagne were delivered by abseiling scantily clad women and you don't get that in the Venue!


It was an epic finale to such an all round perfect trip. Here's a couple shots to sum up the final couple days.

 

SoCal......

Epic trip so far, California has fully delivered. 


We've had awesome weather, the hottest start of the year on record and pumping surf.
Rumours were flying around the line-up that we were due the swell of the year. TV news reports were warning everyone of a high surf forecast and to be careful. 12-14ft forecasted for the west facing exposed spots.


Here's Surfline's swell map.

The boys have all been frothing over this constant run of swell and we've been surfing our nuts off. I haven't even thought about taking photos, but today was a small day, so we took turns to take a few shots.

Loving this place so much, met some great people, surfed some epic waves, eaten ridiculous amounts of food and drank a fair bit off beer. In the water I've surfed with icons and legends, Joel Tudor, Taylor Jensen, Rob Machado, Alex Knost and John Peck.

Here's a few snaps so far.
