Nah. Gone. There's a nice new stair that leads down to the rocks and the
beach. Otherwise, it's jump right in at the point.

lol...that leash was so tight, the board snapped back over his head and went
nearly the length of the leash the other way. The splash is his landing.

I've got to get down there! Last time I was there it was gray!

You make shooting these look easy! I have to dig out my best surfing shot and post it!

Ian,

I was there that day at Steamers, Sat. the 5th. It was good! Any shots of me? I spoke to you when I got out of the water. You gave me your address.

Hey Floyd,
