I just went surfing for my first time this past Friday at the Half Moon Bay Jetty. Where are you in Nor Cal?

Coincidence Ydna, Norcalwaves just posted that spot on the surf map -

You guy's should get together.

(for a surf I mean)

Haha. I think he'd be a bit bored if we surfed together. I've only been out once so far, so he'd be catching waves, and I'd be falling off my board.

Yeah I'm In the bay area. Though my young kids limit me to mostly forum surfing these days. :lol:

Ydna, Welcome. were you the one posting about trouble standing up? Have you tried Lindamar beach in Pacifica? The south end of the cove is a nice longboard wave; it's a much easier shape than the jetty. HMB tends to pitch fast even on small swell. It can be a tough place to learn.

Yea. I need to figure out how far Linda Mar is away. That or go to Cowells. Yea, I'm the one having trouble surfing at all, haha.

Aloha to all Norcal surfers, just joined site. Located in Santa Cruz. Looking to get back into surfin after a long 42 yr long hiatus. Am in the market for a 9-6 or longer board.

Ydna you from the bay? I'm from san fran. about to go to the jetty for my first sesh on my first board

I live in Oakland and mostly surf in Santa Cruz, rarely at Linda Mar. I just started learning to surf in April and have spent a good amount of time at Cowell's. We're lucky to have such a great beginner spot! Lately I've been spending more time around the Hook (41st Ave) because Cowells has been pretty flat. I go slightly south of the Hook where it's smaller and there are fewer surfers. I'm very much a beginner though!

So cal here, Malibu. But I just returned from Santa Cruz the other day. I enjoy visiting Monterey, it's beautiful up there.

JohnG, are the shots from Socal? - http://www.surfing-waves.com/profiles/J ... ageGallery

(welcome to the site by the way)

Yea, I actually live a mile away from Malibu Surfrider beach. I don't usually take pictures of my surfing. The ex took these two. Leo Carillo is still considered to be in Malibu near Ventura Country Line and Emma Wood is a good spot in Ventura not far from C Street in Ventura.

Thanks for the nice welcome !

nice one, if you've got a few mins and fancy adding any of the well know spots to the california surf spots map, that would be great :-D

by **surf patrol** » Thu Sep 22, 2011 8:53 am

by **JohnG** » Thu Sep 22, 2011 2:28 pm
