Santa Cruz surf kayak contest is the biggest contest on the west coast.  Great waves this year, and fun people as always.  Every year I think I’m surfing much better than last year, and I probably am, but so is everyone else!  So i didn’t do as well as I’d hoped, but I had a good time.

Even Friday, there were some good sized sets.  Figure I sit about 3 feet tall in my kayak.

I accidentally dropped in on Dessie.  didn't see him soon enough, tried to get off the wave and failed...  Doh.
