Can’t Complain…

More of the same Beautiful weather here at the beach today with more small fun waves around waist high more or less. Wind still light and variable.
Ideal for those learning to surf. Like the family from Lake Elsinore that did the group lessons on Fathers day. Dad was a natural and Mom got a few as well. The show stealers were Haily and Makenzie the 7 year old sisters were putting all there reservations aside and riding countless waves right to sand much like Dane from Texas earlier in the week. Good Job girls!
Even though we still have that morning fog not much to complain about when it’s gone by noon.
See ya soon; Rod

Feels like Summer…

dane1.jpgdane1.JPGIf your from Houston and your name is Dane; your six years old and showed up for your first surf lesson today in Laguna and amazed people on the beach with some natural skill! Mainly by catching wave after wave right to the sand with a ear to ear grin and a head full of sand for his reward.
Way to go Dane your awesome!
The weather was hot and sunny today with some consistent 1 to 3′ surf perfect for learning. Springsuit weather now or even trunks for you hearty souls.
