The official name is Hearst San Simeon State Park..805 927 2020. Robert Moynier, paipo enthusiast and long-time foot surfer, will be our local guide. Looks like we will have a small but good group to keep each other entertained on paipo board design, history, and more. And surfriding.
Of course, our close kin (hand boarders, mat riders and others prone to ride) are welcome to join in. Looks like we will have at least one regular mat rider partaking at times during the weekend.
Robert tells us that August can be a good one.. "a couple of our best quality spots love the
summer south, and can hold size.. last August saw one of the better
swells in a long time w/a 3-5 day blitz of long distance south,glassy
overcast conditions. Paipo madness for sure.Wind (apart from a sometimes early morning south that backs off mid morning) is not usually a factor that time of year. Fog can be."
For those who might prefer
alternative "lodging," Robert sent along info on a place that looks rather nice to me, "here's a cool place in town
run by some friends of mine (serious water people).. $70 a night, can
have up to 3 people.. might work for some of the Paipo people who are
not into camping at the San Simeon paipo fest." See: http://www.airbnb.com/rooms/210853
