The ocean's beauty is one of the best parts of surfing! Waves, beaches, clouds and wildlife are endlessly entertaining as we wait between sets or hike along the coastline. Share a photo for everyone to enjoy. :woot:

At low tide, seals often ride the channel flow out to sea!

That is the bottom of the pool that I was standing in that was a couple yards (4-5) from the edge of the sea. Not a surfing area but is known for snorkeling, scuba and for schools of dolphins that will come and surround your boat on early morning outings.

Great Mendocino kayaking spot. There is a labyrinth of rocky coves and clear water. Beware when the tide comes in!

BoMan, i like what you're doing. Every few weeks, you post photos from Big Sur to NorCal. Isn't the ocean beautiful in Mendocino County? Mighty cold, too! You know you're alive when it runs down inside the back of your wetsuit!

Atlantic surfing in May, daybreak. Trees not yet leafed out, but the promise of summer is already in the air. We know this because the youth is surfing sans hood.
