As I struggled in today - just glad to be alive - I was telling Scotty that whatever surfing incidents which I capture on film and publish, it's that I'm only re-living my personal experiences via others' misery - then I fell on my ass as I backed up into the Fire Coral Reef - Glad Scotty did not have a camera - whew!

Lottsa action at the south end of La Jolla Shores -

A few world class hacks - and a few, err, many participants who probably should have stayed on the beach with me,

the mutant harbor seals, and the deadly green-black rocks.

AM Photos Include --> Photo by Neal of Katie and a friend who just happens to be dropping in

My Hawaiian friend, Neal Miyake, visited The Shores today and I begged him to take a few water photos with my point and shoot Canon - even though, years ago, Neal had gone many light years beyond point and shoot.

Neal is a world famous action sports photojournalist - and the water photos of surfing he takes are breathtaking - please take a look at his website!

Neal took a photo of me as I breathlessly paddled over the lip of the largest wave I've ever seen:

Then:
Please bear in mind Neal was is the water, wearing a wetsuit - not exactly Hawaiian water wear - with a surfboard strapped to his leg - and he still managed to take this low light photo of a White House Right:

It's been a rough year so far for the denizens of Barrio La Jolla; global warming - global cooling - tidal waves - no waves - and so on.

Team Harbor Seal Hunters had a chance for a real meal their families - with a bonus of some hide for their Ugg Boots which were in need of a hot patch or two.

Danny The Harbor Seal showed up in the lineup at Squires' Reef - David missed him, Sasha and Scotty had their chance, also, but they ran into each other as they attempted the Harbor Seal Squeeze on Danny

I have always wanted to do a 360 degree Reverse Hot Curl - This death defying maneuver was first accomplished by Crazy Jim Fisher in 1958 - Subsequently I have tried since 1958 to copy the maneuver -

My attempts usually ended up with a 2 degree face plant - Fortunately I found a top secret reef break in La Jolla's most squalid barrio and to my amazement, David - Hot Curl - Squires was out at his personal break and despite his posse's attempt at enforcing his No Photos - No Naming Spots, I was able to get away with this photo - certainly worth a cover appearance on either Surfer Mag or Cirque Du Soleil program!

Way back in the fifties, 1950's not 1850's, I thought the coolest thing in surfing was when the Crystal Pier Guys visited The Shores, Mike Hynson in particular, would paddle out and stand up going thru the waves, cigarette hanging from their lips -

My mom would have killed me if she saw me smoking, but I wanted to master standing up going thru the waves - 1/2 is better than 0/2

[I actually almost mastered the stand up thru the wave / paddle out]

However, as good as the PB Guys were, Never - Never did they levitate off their boards on the way out -

Emma of course, wouldn't think of smoking, but, not only does she stand up over waves on the way out, she takes it to the next level by JUMPING over them - what a clever way to stay dry on the paddle out!

If one lives in or around La Jolla, and one has a variety of surfboards, and has enough skills, surfing almost every day of the year is possible!

Luckily for me anyway, the places I surf are usually too big or too small for the masses who are stuck on their 6' thrusters or 10' logs
