South Swell approaches

It looks like our first south swell will be visiting this weekend and it is predicted to be at least head high.  Here’s one of your options – Malibu!  Just don’t expect it to be a solo session! ha ha.  Wherever your south swell spot is, check it out starting Saturday (probably more like Sunday/Monday).  Does this mean the water is going to be warmer? Hope so.

Hey, I am always getting updates from the Surfing Heritage Foundation.  This place has some of the classic boards of our sport in their ‘museum’ and it is definitely worth a visit.  You may even want to see their website for some Ron Stoner images and other cool stuff.

I just saw that Joel Parkinson won at his home break at Kirra in some good looking waves.  Congrats to him, but really, it is about time!  Dude is a great surfer and that is his local.  He should have taken this one years ago.  I think the real surprise is that Kelly slumped in with a 17th.  Does that mean he has some supermodel he’s tuning?  Looks like the usual suspects in the top 10 with the Hobgoods, Mick and Taj.  Next stop – Bells Beach.
