I paid $8 to Surf this morning at Cardiff Reef. 8n 1980 ehen we were kids in high school we'd come and show up at dawn and park all day, almost, never having to pay a dime. Just saying, things have changed. #paytosurf #paytoplay #stateparks #cardiffreef #sanelijo #surfing #gypsysurf #nofreerides #anymore (at Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Txa6WHSR8/?igshid=13325w94fjrir

And this, dear readers, is exactly why I always have a surfboard in the back of my van. I was in North County along the coast for work this morning and around 9, when the Mueller questioning had gone about 10 minutes overtime on NPR, I drove past Cardiff Reef and saw the waves were hot and glassy, only three foot but really clean. So I decided to put off whatever mundane work-related activities I had scheduled for the next hour and a half and paddle out -- and am I glad I did! The inside Sandbar has had been built up because of small summer surf and there was no rocks showing so walking out to where you paddle out was easy. Surf with no one said and it was so warm I could have been out there all day. The wind started to come up with a little bit of texture on the water after about 40 minutes but that was okay. It was still fun. This is summer in full affect now. It was about 3-foot maybe pushing 4-foot on the sets. Not sure exactly what the tide was doing. It wasn't classic Suckouts minus-tide Cardiff Reef but it wasn't too high either. Just mellow peeling sections with good bowls. There were a few longboarder locals and sups that got the majority of the best set waves but I snagged a couple too. Water was crystal clear, you could see the eel grass waving around. I need to dawn patrol more often. That's what I've decided. #summersurf #cardiffreef #suckouts #hotandglassy #surf #surfing #sandiego #southerncalifornia #gypsysurf #surfingrules #gottasurf (at Cardiff Reef) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0TtjhMn-IX/?igshid=ac98qj5b3ft9

Come celebrate the life of our brother Kris at #cardiffreef on August 5th. I first met Kris at Cardiff when we were #groms and I looked up to him even though I was older by a few months. 20 plus years later we stayed great friends and had countless memorable times that I'll cherish forever. We love you Kris. (at Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California)
