Cleaner water, sorta

Wednesday, January 9th. The water is a little cleaner. It's been a few days since the rains. Okay, the water isn't quite so gnarly. More people are out in the surf. So, let's go check it out.

Alex: Clean water, clean moves

Check out Jen's noseride
Robbie knifes the lip
Jill makes it look easy
Good backside form, Gina!
and the water is CLEAN!
Dano fades into a turn
then, stalls his own 'Dano' board…
to set up a sweet noseride…












Big Randy drives that fish


and Brandon grabs the rail…
Amy noserides the barrel…

then, hangs 5 on the inside

Stan eyes the line…
while Jim slides left
Jared launches off the lip
and grabs some air
Kim shows her world-class form
and cuts with P-O-W-E-R!

It's overhead for Cindy
then another…
"Don't snake me, dude!"
Paul bodyboards
Randy finds a clean left
Robbie and Alex talk board design

Ashley on a clean face
Now, that's a perfect Blackie's right!
Just another fun day at Newport…
