So I loaded my board into the car Saturday, then hauled out to the beach, only to find that it was huge out there.
I guess that big swell arrived a little early. Because at A-Beach in Morro Bay it looked to be a good 12- to 15-foot. And, well – that’s a few feet bigger than I’d like it to be.
It was a little smaller at Cayucos Pier, but the waves were punishing. So I watched a few guys get mangled and headed to the Rock, where I overheard a park guy say the Harbor Patrol had to rescue a surfer earlier.
So no surf for me this weekend.
But to get you Stoked, I recently did a surf video of local slider Jaime Hannula. Check it out here.
Hannula is leaving this month for Australia to compete in the ASP tour. Once ranked #9 in North America, she hopes to win at least one big contest as a pro.

Great feature on Jamie, by the way.
Jamie seems like a great woman. I wish her well. Thanks for telling her story and for the excellent video work. It shows she has the complete package: Great surfer, well-spoken and friendly. Go grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl!
Yeah, after surfing in Florida for the past 9 years and always trying to find bigger waves it’s pretty odd to come here and want to go to travel where the waves are smaller. It’s cool how the size varies so much between Pismo and Morro. I guess time of year sort of dictates which of those directions I go.
