August 2, 2006 - Capitola Beach, Capitola, CA

JR knew I wanted to go surfing, so he called his friends Sara and Rebecca (twins) who had 4 surf boards. JR said they were sponsored. We met them at the beach and they had twin longboards (9') for use to use. This break was great for long boarding with about waist high clean waves. The main break was very crowded and almost impossible to get a wave. There was also lots of kelp to avoid. After about a half hour of not getting any waves, I paddled over to were JR and the girls had found their own break and the four of us were sharing waves. These were really fun little waves. I caught maybe 5 or 6 for about an hour. The waves would build for a while and you'd have to get in them when they were almost cresting, but you could get a pretty long ride. Longboards are fun! It was really cool of the girls to loan us the boards and it was more than I could have hoped for.
