**i was just checking out yuko’s blog. she’s in malibu right now and when i seen that photo, it brought back some memories. it was in may 2 years ago when i came back from puerto escondido on a stopover in LA. i ended up driving up to santa barbara to check out some dive shops. on the way back, i drove down pacific coast highway and passed by this unreal looking right. it was head high, perfect, uncrowded, and super long. i didn’t know where it was until i seen the sign “malibu”. gosh, the waves looked so good. i thought to myself that this is the famous spot called “malibu” so i got excited and jumped out of the car to grab my board and wetsuit. but, i forgot i left it at my hotel in LA. i haven’t felt so much as a loser before. i still can’t believe it. i haven’t told too many people about this…. haha…. anyway, check out yuko’s blog by CLICKING HERE…..
i took this photo at the santa barbara harbor. gosh, that place is so beautiful. and that’s also the place where tom curren came from. i went there looking for him. haha….
