Our Only Summer Swell (1 of 5)
There was only one swell that hit Northern California this past summer. All the others were over hyped or they just passed right on through. A few magic days came to Santa Cruz starting on July 24th. The swell arrived on a Thursday evening and by Tuesday morning it was long gone. There were some other waves this past summer, but nothing like those special 4 days in July. I finally got a chance to go over my edits this weekend. Here are two gems from the last few mysterious hours of our only summer swell. “Forget it kid, they’re ghosts.”

These are fantastic. I didn’t know you did surf shots! I got to get you on Liquid Salt. I might wait a bit since your wife recently appeared on it!
