Another beautiful day and great head high surf for southern California. I met up with my good bud Kevin Mobley in Hermosa Beach this morning, and the north side of the pier was empty with people, but plentiful with waves. It wasn't as big as the day before, but the weather was warm and the waves were kind. I was shocked to see Kevin take a nice wave right through the pylons that hold up the pier. He didn't even flinch, as he paddled out he looked at me as if I was supposed to do the same thing. I laughed, the last thing I need right now is shoot the pier and come up short. The pylons are covered with mussels that act like Velcro if you get to close, I did not want to be the other side of the Velcro.
I managed to get in the right spot as a nice set wave rolled through, I stood up, a couple of pumps down the line later I crouched down and got barrelled for what felt like 6 seconds, but was probably only 2-3. This made my day, heck this made my week since I can only count on 1 hand the amount of times I've been barrelled.
Hope to do it again tomorrow.
