I limit my photos swimming to posting one per session but this one’s not bad.

Crystal Pier is behind me. It’s along this few hundred yards of beach where I believe I first rode a wave. I was 3 or 4 years old on an inflatable rubber mat guided by my father. Worrying my mother. Encouraged by my aunties and uncles. It’s a vivid memory. Surfers call the intense good feeling riding waves “stoke.” The current was strong and the waves not great for bodysurfing today but I got the feeling. Lean into whatever gives you #stoke. It’s important.

The Cove used to be my favorite spot, and for a while it was by a palm tree trying to grow out of a pavement crack on the shoulder of the 405, but I think it’s the Jetty now.

It’s a weird photo but captures the session beautifully.

The blurry figure at the crest of that wave is a California sea lion, also bodysurfing at Jetty. #californiasealion #sealion #stoke
