I made some changes to the site this morning to highlight the great comments that the StokeReport community have been making. I added:

"oh, that's magnificent! :)"

"Dolphin. Just kidding, wrong game. :D But a very nice addition indeed. Thanks for doing this!"

"sweet release!"

Some pictures of the surf this weekend. The first ones are from Saturday afternoon the second lot are from Sunday morning. Both are from locations visible from Highway 1, between SF and SC.

From my review on Matt Warshaw's new book, "The History of Surfing": Instant classic. Mandatory reading. Perfect Gift.

Review is here: http://thewatermanslibrary.com/Site/HistoryOfSurfing.html

I would rate it 'Good' for externalities and general level of stoke. The surf was actually so-so, but at least the surf WAS. Shoulder-high peaks coming through with semi-regularity and not too many people on 'em. Excellent rip in front of the bathrooms, too.

"Yea, i was out 3-5pm ish. Sets coming in up to HH where I was. Warm water, no currents. It was a little crossed up and funky but lots of fun nonethele ..."

This week, we lost a great friend.

Barney, the sea lion, was doing what he loved most when fate intervened - surfing and eating just outside the breakers at Linda Mar.

So that’s a wrap: edit over, music score locked down, finished film in our hands. Yes, our new surf documentary Powers of Three is finally here, bringing to an end six memorable months in the company of the film’s three protagonists, Tom Lowe, Fergal Smith and Mickey Smith.
