Weather is so good, I wanted to paddle out before I even saw a wave.
I waited, hardly saw anything above knee high, and still wanted to paddle out. It is that nice out. About 55 degrees, sunny, light offshores, and the sun is glistening off the waves like a sea of endless diamonds and crystals for everyone to share.
Channel: some little peaks pushing through, was fairly weak on the high tide and is improving a little with the outgoing now. About 7 longboards/SUP in the water, kinda sitting/standing around, waiting, waiting in great weather, I imagine things could shape up in a lil bit once the water and current subsides.
Patch: One stand up guy is waiting for a wave I never saw come in.
Michel Junod surfboards are now in the shop!
Come by to check out some classic longboards and eggs.
"Located on the Westside of Santa Cruz, a block off of Highway 1 and a few blocks from Steamer Lane and the other Westside breaks. We have a crew of 4 that has a combined working experience of over 125 years.
Running a shaping and glass shop is always extra work, but being able to oversee the production of each board allows more attention to detail and makes each board truly custom. Surfboards made by surfers is in harmony with much of the local spirit here in Santa Cruz. We are part of a community of small businesses, craftsmen and artists who’ve chosen this coastal town to be their home.
The “ride everything” movement has sparked interest throughout the surfing world to fine tune previous design movements and incorporate various design aspects of these movements into new exciting shapes that bring unique experiences to the curious and adventuresome surfer.
Living in SC, maintaining my business and shaping custom boards has been my top priority. This remarkable surf town has blessed me not only with many friendships locally, but also has given me the opportunity to build new friendships with people I’ve shaped boards for from all over the world. There is a special joy in receiving compliments from customers who have expressed their gratitude for my making them an exceptional surfboard. I have found that a reputation is built one board at a time."
