Well at least not where we stayed this year. It has been nothing but shore break. After almost a week of waiting for a better swell and waves I gave up and dropped into a few right up on the beach. Most of them were about like this with maybe a ride or two a little longer. At least I wasn't shut out but wish there had been better surf because the water was pretty nice. Win some lose some.

Saw 4 or more whales on dawn patrol at Montera. Only managed to get this short video of one or two before suiting up. We paddled out to just about where they were but we didn't see any while we were surfing. When we got out we saw a few about 1/4 mile to the south.jimmyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10710872659322844029noreply@blogger.com0Montara, CA, USA37.54706154188554 -122.5148875703613437.534472541885542 -122.53505757036133 37.559650541885539 -122.49471757036135tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4731084966009478242.post-87627729613082564842014-03-10T23:31:00.002-07:002014-05-03T16:39:16.601-07:00Longboard?

Got an electric skateboard. Only down side is that it's a longboard. I don't really know how to skate a longboard. Here you can see me giving it a go. Video shot by a friend at work, Navjit Gill.

Lots of 20min lulls and such and the waves though big seemed a bit mush. I took a look out the back window at O.B. and it was not at all mushy or boring. So I climbed up on the roof and shot some video for about 30-40min and here is what I got.<br />

This is actually the 2nd time I've taken it out but only my first post. Will try and get some more shots up at some point. Unfortunately both times I took the camera out waves were not so good and the sky was pretty gray. Testing out some re-timing here as well. Gets a bit swimy in the super slow motion bit.

Haven't been surfing as much as I should so instead of taking pictures or using video rigs I've been trying to focus on surfing.

Everyone bailed on me but being my birthday I wasn't going to let that stop me today. I hit the place I most wanted to surf and ended up getting there a little before sunrise. I was watching for waves and noticed that the bigger sets (which weren't very big, maybe waist) seemed to be greenish. I thought it was from a stop light down the road. But it was the wrong color green and the light was pretty far away. Then I noticed it was actually in the wave not reflecting off it. The waves white water was still white in the light but there was a green glow inside the bigger waves. It looked like a green lighting storm inside the waves as they broke. The smaller waves didn't glow or at least not enough for me to see. It was starting to get light so it was probably washing most of the glowing out. I bet it looked really cool about an hour before I got there. Still It was a great birthday present from mother nature. I only had my phone camera on me which wouldn't have come close to capturing it so no pictures.
