Surfed with Tom Curren at Pitas 11-27-09!
Today Pitas Point in Ventura/Santa Barbara region was going off during the noontime low tide and slack winds. Lots of weird closeouts, but also long, winding, head-high peelers were coming through.Tom Curren was blazing down some of those walls, with at least one of his goofy-footed kids in tow. Crowds were bearable, in stark contrast to Rincon, which was totally swamped with water bugs.
Swell was WNW at 280-300, lots of long-period energy. It is showing 11-feet at 18 seconds up in Norcal! Mavs broke.
Tides were low for most of the late morning and early afternoon.
The link-up was about middle of the long point. The top section was not doing it’s thing, in fact I think that hook needs a more westerly angle to fire.
