September 2000 - Cowell's Cove, Santa Cruz, CA

Laura and I rented a bic 7'10" and a shorter fiberglass board (about 7') and went to this area which is on the inside side of steamer lane. It is kind of a beginners area, but has good small longboard waves. It was very crowded with beginners, but easy to catch waves, as not many others could. Laura caught a couple long ones too. Very fun and relaxing. You had to go down a long, steep set of stairs to get to the water.
