Dawn Patrol at Newport Beach, Saturday April 27th 2013

I finally did it.  I've been meaning to ride the waves in the LA area for a few years now, and now that I have a board out here at my disposal, I finally got the chance.  I also forced myself to get up to the beach early on, not quite as the sun rose, but pretty close.  The waves were averaging about 3 feet or so, with some bigger sets coming in at around 4-5 feet right along the pier.  I caught a couple waves, but conditions were much better for long boarding.  Had the Go Pro running, I'm still trying to figure if it's a distraction or a benefit.  I've got it set up so it turns on with one touch, so I have to take a couple seconds focuses on turning it on.  However, it also forces me to slow down instead of trying to catch every wave.  Things got pretty crowded and I decided to call it before the break was completely packed.
