Fun, Fun, Fun: December 26th

Those of us who live in Southern California have been blessed this holiday season with gorgeous weather. Now, the surfers may have something to say about the water temps, though, but the waves? No complaints there! The day after Christmas dawned with nary a wind and chest-high waves…

Ben signals the start of a great day

Tom shows his smooth moves…
Yeah, Peter finds green water
Brrr…Randy shows how to beat the cold waters

It's a five over for Taylor

David noses up to John and Dano
as Kyle touches up

Richie snaps!
Bill enjoys the day


Dino slices back
Go Bud! Whatcha see up ahead?

YIKES! Ben gets caught in the snakepit
(good ol' Rick & Jim)
Gary puts the hammer down
Jeff eyes the lip
as Jim heads to the nose


John
powers down the line…
and later, finds the barrel

Matt cranks
but can't shoot the pier

Oh yeah, a nose-riding Ford


It's just another beautiful day at Blackies…
