Santa Barbara Area Surf Reports

It looked like there was nothing out there but I had to go out. There was only a couple of others out further to the East. I waited in the lineup further up coast, which meant standing in chest deep water waiting for waves. I caught a ton of small waves before I started to realize that I was catching a few fun ones out there, that occainsonaly came in almost towards waist high. Almost. A couple of longboarders came out near me and started to reduced my wave count until I re-positioned further down coast as those guys left. One longboarder had really good style, getting the best waves and taking them the longest, getting to nose quickly and with great board control.

Soon a kid I see out there all the time came out. I still haven't made up a name for him but he some college aged kid that is always there when I am. He pulled a few moves that I don't even know the names of, which was good considering how small it was. It was so small that often I didn't get the fish going fast enough, but other times I'd race into turns and off the lip. Feet placement of upmost importance.
