A Beaut in the Park ... the photos

Back to small-to-negligible surf in So Cal...so it's time to post the photos from last Saturday's memorable session in the Park.  Remember, click on any for full screen.

First, those from Hugh Berenger, shooting from shore:


The Pastor was here...


My take off on the beautifully formed wave that was my ride of the day.  Watching the take off, from left to right, are Steve Harkins, Paul Tordella, Mark Ghattas & Matt Hughes.
First of a series.

Late in the wave, trimming under lip.


Lifted high, inside the tube, by a surge of backwash.


Backwash opens it up to reveal me on my way back down!

...and down & out the back.


Matt on a feathering right.  


Sailfish (Ghattas) left.


Me, right.

Crawdaddy (Brent) was in the water with his video camera, from which he extracted a few stills. 
Me, take off on a set wave.
(Full screen, you can see that we got some size.)


While shooting, Crawdaddy had a too-close encounter with Paul Tordella's fin.  (Photo Hugh)

Paul shared some snaps of the crew in the lot from before the session:

Sailfish, bundled against the cool morning breeze.

Matt Hughes


Me.  The RR crossing and steps (behind me) were closed for construction work on the tracks.


Crawdaddy.
Cut over the eye from Paul's fin.  Cut on the forehead from his tailgate.

Reprise: Hugh's compilation of the latter half of my ride of the day:
