Where we live---pics.

We all shape for different surf conditions. Lets have a look at where you surf. The pictures always show a small part of each surf-break,but how about showing us more of where you surf ? Point the camera down the beach or back towards the land. Show us the beach, the suburb of your local break.

Let me start with a side shot of Manly Beach, Sydney, Australia.

Today, 10 am,12 December,2006

Lokking South.

The Northern end, where this pic is taken from, is called Queenscliff.

Please include the Country, State, “Name of Break” and any peculiarities. ( why you like it). If you want to…

Regards, the sock-puppet. (Thanks for blowing my cover surfer_dave ! )

Ocean Beach San Diego…

Terrigal Point, Autumn Swell, 2006.

Ti-Tree Bay 1976.

Still looks much the same but more heads in the water

these days…

This is where I live and surf.

The south side of the inlet pictured is a State Park. Only one access point and it’s

3 miles up the beach to the inlet. basically making it a private beach for those willing

to make the effort.

This is my transportation up the beach. Shot is from yesterday. Kinda fun even though

it was small and messy.

Where we built our house, this is actually the closest beach. We are tucked into the

woods behind the State Park.

This is the sand bar just south of the inlet, zoomed in a little.

I love my little piece of heaven.

I live in the Red Triangle. Nowhere better in the world.

1st shot is an ankle-high dawn on my little reef. Nobody out, but the rocks show where the waves would be.

2nd is my little reef from way up above. If you have really good eyes, you might see a tiny white peak right below my sketchy arrow.

3rd is what I see looking southeast at San Francisco at dawn. 20 miles as the crow flies…well over an hour in a car.

Benny1-

You’ve helped me out SOOO much with my epoxy glassing…Let me help you out a little with Photoshop… :wink: LOL.

Yeah, man. I’m terrible with this computer crap. You should just come up & visit for a bit. Take your own pics :slight_smile: I got your back.

Take your own pics

Ok, here’s a shot from my house, looking down the street. The pier (In the previous photo) is one street to the left…

Good Thread.

I live at Avoca Beach. (Proud of it)

This is my favourite break. Avoca Point.

On a flat sunny day. this is Avoca.

Little BeachBreaks

The other end, north avoca on a very crowded day

back at Sharktower, the break in the middle

There’s lefts too.

Here is pictures of Capitola California, and West Side Santa Cruz

My house is about 25 miles north of Perth…

Guéthary, France, courtesy of Tito ROSENBERG:

The actual name of the break is Parlementia and it is actually situated in Bidart, not Guéthary. But when you talk about Guéthary, this is what everybody thinks of.

Same break, seen from the south and at low tide:

Looking south, Les Alcyons (a rocky hollow left) and Cenitz (ask MPcutback about it):



This is a general view looking from Guéthary towards Biarritz:

And this is my house:


I love this thread…Riddim took care of showing you the surf spot. Here’s my full redneck pic. In order of importance: That’s my wife, my dog, my boat, my truck, and my house (yeah, I even had the neighbor take that for me). She’d kill me for putting this up. I had to pull it from somewhere else, because her family (from Ohio) were making fun of my redneckness.

San Clemente, SoCal… I get on everything, but spend most of my time trolling here…

looking south to Churchs

right where the trail dumps you out

lowers and the zoo

north towards Uppers and Cottons

I spend most of my time on this point, Its probably my favorite place in the world. The smell of sage, the damp air, the wildlife… rolling down the trail with coffee in hand (this is all a 15 minute bike from the house)… its hard not to start days here with a smile

I go to San Onofre when I want to teach friends to surf, or just hang out in the water allllll day in the summer time. I do alot of SUP here as well, you can float alot of breaks south to trails and not piss anyone off

San Onofre is extremlly fun in the summer time, I love all the little groms and father daughter tandem duos… J and I tandem there and its a blast…

I live about a 5 minuter walk down the hill to the pier bowl in San Clememte too… Tstreet and the pier both get pretty good surf…

If you come to town, dont plan on surfing better than 90% of the groms here and they’ll back paddle and catch every wave in striking distance too. You also have to watch the bodyboarders too, they’re everywhere and VERY good…

looking north at the pier, it gets fun and hollow

So thats where I live, slide through and Id love to show you around.

Most of the boards I shape or buy for here are alot flatter and fuller throughout. THe waves arent hawaii vertical (most places) and I enjoy the paddling abilities…

I live in a cookiecutter suburban home, that doesn’t merit mention, but a 15min puts me in the water here:
