NEW HOUSING!!!

This purchase has been about 12 years in the making. I have always wanted a surf housing for my camera since I started bodyboarding about 12 years ago. Since then, there has been transitions to surfing, changes in where I've lived but the desire for the housing was always there.

Below are some shots from my first session this afternoon. I had some issues with the focus, but I think I have a lot of kinks to work out before I start getting anything decent. Hopefully!

Fire Swell

As I am sure most of you know, Southern California has been battling some severe wildfires over the past 5 days. The combination of intense heat, howling Santa Ana winds and close to no rain in the past 2 years has lead to the perfect fire storm. What hasn't been reported though was that along with these winds, a SW and NW swell hit SoCal at the same time as the Santa Anas, producing some of the best waves I have seen in a long time.

All day Monday I drove up and down the Orange County coastline, taking pictures of multiple spots. Check it out:
