Note: Santa Barbara Surfing will be traveling to warmer waters next week and won't be back and updating until April 29th.
Your Local Sand Update
This is pope checking in at 9am for your sand update sponsored by Santa Barbara Surfing. Up in Goleta at Campus Point the sand has come back in record time, burying the slippery bedrock and cobbles. It is now possible to walk to the point on sand and a little bar has formed straight out to attract the wide swingers. Deveruax has also instantly added a ton of sand as well as around the corner at Sands. Sands still has some ways to go to offer A Frames, but it is starting the foundation. After the big Feb 25 swell and devil winds that stirred up havoc in late March/early April these beaches were devoid of sand. Further down the coast Rincon still has a stable of 
cobblestones lining the point to setup some epic long knee to waist high rides. However this all may change as there was a dude down there on Sunday loading up as many cobbles as he could into his truck for home improvement projects. How long until we declare the cobblestones at Rincon Endangered Species and rally to protect them from reckless poachers?
One Winter Story
One Winter Story shows tonight (we hear 6:00 or 6:30) at the Marjorie Luke Theater for $12. The film follows Sarah Gerhardt and her surfing at Mavericks. The Independent has a review of the film, and we're told this is an inspirational film good to bring the groms to. Also on the subject of film reviews, The Nexus has a review of the film Bra Boys that opened last Friday.
