Watched the US Open of Surfing over the weekend

Last weekend was the first time I ever watched a live Surfing competition - the US Open of Surfing. It was a pretty awesome event because there were a ton of booths, events and people. You honestly could have spent the whole day people watching.

But the surfing was worth it. With the huge swell that rolled through, the heats were serious and competitive. I saw CJ Hobgood make it out of this ridiculous closeout wave.

I also got to see all the greats surf as well. They had an expression session where Tom Curren, Kelly Slater, CJ Hobgood, Rob Machado, Andy Irons, Bruce Irons, Yadin Nichol and Michel Bourez did as many arials as humanly possible with a jet ski. It was ridiculous. I must have put 500 photos on my wife's Nikon over the weekend.

Nice day to be out in the water

Summer is the best time of year - great weather, easy times and families hanging out. Surf wasn't awesome, but still fun.

Been surfing but not posting

Been doing sunset sessions with my wife's cousin who is visiting from the Philippines. Nothing too great in terms of surf, but the weather has been awesome.

Had a pretty good session this morning too - we went out at around Lighthouse and there were some fun waves to be had. Again, the weather was awesome so I was just happy to be in the water.

Finally surfed

Finally got in the water again today. Pretty cold and closed out. I just like the fact that I can get in the water during a long weekend.
