Frequent: Surf Reports. Surf Photos. Weather. News.

Tuesday, January 13, 2004

New Reports promised soon. Photo to the right is a NewsPress photo from Monday at Deveraux. Since the pope has been a bit slow on reports Dan B is helping out by posting Leadbetter-centric reports over on the Leadbetter Report page. These reports will most probably be more timely and perhaps more revealing of current conditions then the rest of the reports are. The philosophy is that Leadbetter is certainly no secret spot and would be an excellent subject of daily surf conditions. Care will still be taken to not mass market the Santa Barbara surf experience.

pope's new email address is up on the left, make a note.

IV parking to surf at Coal Oil is being threatened by the counties new master plan for IV. You may have gotten a flyer such as this on your car already.
