Ah beautiful California!?! I flew in through the mountains during a massive rainstorm that made the desert bloom and turn green. Unfortunately it rained here and there while I was out that way. I made my way towards Huntington Beach, where you can watch the sunset over Catalina Island. Quite magnificent really, I've been to Catalina twice and I didn't know you could see it from the mainland. Sorta reminds me of a painting I did. Ended up in San Diego for a couple days around New Years. I wish I could've been down there longer but I enjoyed my time up in the mountains too. Surfed New Years Eve at Tourmaline, then the next day at La Jolla right next to Scripps Institute. Saw some pretty big dolphins out there as well. They came pretty close. I do say I caught one of my top 5 favorite waves that day. Not too many other decent waves, being that I was using my Yancy Fish, which is fast and can cut really hard, but sucks to paddle. It must've been a freak five foot high clean breaking wave that I rode pretty good. I'm actually getting tempted to get me a nice Walden Long Board for the smaller days. Oh I can't wait to get back, I guess I'll have to shred as many Carolina waves and any other East Coast breaks I can hunt down in the meantime....
