Cruising in Seal

Here's a couple more sweet shots of the gang up in Seal. Wish we had a few more of those glassy days around here. It's been cold, rainy... and I've got a head cold that makes me want to pound Nyquil like a fiend. Anyways, enjoy the boys gettin' some:



Mitchell, smooth as always. (Photo: Elva De Jarnett)



Is it me, or do the waves look really fun? Greg Escalante undoubtedly getting his kicks. (Photo: Elva de Jarnett)



I was told that this was a "nothing" day... that's a pretty fun little nada if you ask me! (Photo: Elva de Jarnett)



My favorite photo of the bunch: On edge and MOVING. Notice how Mitchell is powering through the backside bottom turn with his hips? If you look you can see that his shoulders are square over his set rail and his hips lead him through the turn- that's the way to carry speed through a backside bottom turn. Atta Boy Mitchell... Killing it! (Photo: Elva de Jarnett)

Turning Nothin' into Somethin'

The Seal Beach crew has got it so wired. They've got their Harbour stand up boards and their sand bars dialed. Here's a quick report from Mitchell De Jarnett:

"Here are a few shots from one of those days when SUP turns a nuthin’ day into a blast. Here I'm surfing with friends John Gunnin and Greg Escalante... we just migrated from northside Seal Beach down to the river over a couple hours."



Photo: John Gunnin, picking up what he can.

"We picked up what we could and got surfed out on a day when most surfers were lamenting lack of swell and dirty water."



Photo: Greg Escalante, driving off the bottom. I love that little extra squirt you get when you push off the back foot at just the right moment!

Thanks Mitchell and Elva for the words and photos. Check back for more hot photos of Mitchell and friends!
