After sunset, the water glowed with any movement,
way more than I have ever seen it.

We were the only ones out. At the end of the session there were
gigantic double rainbows (not making that part up).
Winter before last, mid-morning on a Saturday in January.
There was a ton of people watching from the shore, many taking photos.
I was riding a borrowed board, but still managed to catch a couple.
This wave was surprisingly powerful, and pretty crowded, but we got a couple good ones.
Old ruins and palm trees on the shoreline added to the mystique of the place.
We walked over sand dunes to this epic reef break. There was not a person in site.
What a rare beauty - this is what surf dreams are made of.
One of the better south swells of the '09 summer in Imperial Beach. The last sequence I actually broke my board right in half - and it was an "indestructible" Tuflite board. I ended up contacting the board makers (Surftech), and they gave me a deal on a brand new one, which was very cool of them.
