When it rains, it pours…lots of !@#$%^% into the ocean. The run-off, unfortunately, comes down the Santa Ana River and right into the bay, right where, you guessed it! The surfers come down to play. YUCK! Imagine the stench, not to mention the, ummm, unmentionables that either float down or are roiling in the water. EUUUWWWWWW!
Okay, now that you are thoroughly disgusted, let's see who braved the waters (the County of Orange Health Care Agency recommends at least three days AFTER a rain!) on Tuesday, January 8th.
Amy reflects on the water quality–
uh oh…look out for that trash!

Davey climbs on the lip

Gina thinks the water is just sickening…

Tom Cozad of Newport Surf Shots is on higher ground

Bob pulls under the lip…

then bottom turns the left

Size matters…on the take-off…to Jen

she heads to the nose…

then works on her cut-back

Pooch: 56 degrees and NO wetsuit, EVER!!

Shaka into the tube…Pooch!

Mike and Mikey (father & son) are checkin' out the action

Ashley trims

Smiles and sunshine-Vanessa, Whitney, and Susan

Mikey B. fishes for the lip

Sweet shapes/dirty water
