It’s winter time, which means big swells on the Pacific coast. I took these photos last week from my phone. I was looking down at the Capitola Pier and watched this set roll through. Some fishermen on the pier definitely got wet! The water is freezing this time of year in SC and the surfers who go out are hard core. It’s so cold that when you walk across the sand in the morning, it crunches like thin ice beneath your feet. Can you imagine running across that and jumping into 50 degree freezing ocean? You can get an ‘ice cream headache’ when you duck-dive. I remember surfing Pleasure Point when I was in high school (before keyless remotes to unlock your car door) and my hands and fingers would be so cold when I got out from surfing, I couldn’t bend them to use my key and unlock my door. I’d have to ask somebody who was dry to help me or wait until they thawed out.
I think I’ll go snowboarding until it warms up a bit;)
Much love,
