Water Shots

Watershots using my Nikon Fe 35mm camera.
I used a 50mm lens while shooting these.  Shot a roll
of film then hopped in the water myself and surfed for a couple hours.

That one time I took a Trip Up The Coast

This is a picture I took with my Argus Rangefinder. I really liked the view from here.  A friend of mine was with me when I shot this.  The central coast is truly my favorite part of California as evident by this blog alone I took many trips up the coast and met some really cool people whether it was a couple words spoken or a day of talking.  I remember this being one of the more memorable trips.  This shot is taken on the northern end of a town called Cayucus.  If you are looking for good waves and are not with too many people be respectful talk to the locals and share some sick waves.  The day before this was taken I was driving alone from PIsmo looking for somewhere to surf.  There was a lot of swell in the water but nothing that appealing. Morro rock is kinda of a pain for the reward.  I ended up surfing this beach break on the south end of town.  When I was suiting up I met this local guy(really wish I remembered his name) we started talking and I remember one thing he said vividly. "It's a little crowded out there but it'll be fun." Immediately after I laughed. He looked over. I said right then I live in Southern California. He then immediately proceeded to laugh. There was no explaination needed he knew what I meant. Everyone that surfs knows what I mean. "Well let's get out there" he said.  Winds were offshore 10-15 mph I was in heaven, this was just a normal day for him.....

About an hour later after being in the water he paddled up to me "you get some good ones" 

No random person you meet usually cares but what I noticed after countless trips to the central coast.... Life is different up there.  

People are nicer.

And yes I got a couple really sick waves it was 4-6 ft offshore 

Needless to say back home was a few feet under knee high.......

One More

Shot this with my argus rangefinder. That camera is so simple but works great all the shots from it look really good and I'm happy with them.  I used a light meter app for the iphone to meter the shots considering the rangefinder does not have one.  Good to know the app works accurately.  This marks 30 days until Nicaragua in which I will be interning at a surf camp for a little over 90 days.  The picture above is a self portrait after I shaped my second surfboard ever. Which currently is my favorite board to ride. I put this up partly because I just got the film back and mainly because it's sick and I plan on making that same board in a 5'11". (The first one was 5'6"). I wanted to make a bigger version because the board works so well and I am going to want a bigger board for my days off in Nica.
