I went to California Street in Ventura with Chris Ward and others.
The waves around San Clemente are still small,
Chris said there were no waves unless we went further north than Redondo yesterday.
We went ahead with the trip, prepared for the massive traffic jams around LA.
This week is Thanksgiving week, with consecutive holidays starting from Thursday.
As schools and companies were closed, there was heavy traffic as predicted and it took a long time to get there.
Maria is also with us today as her school is closed this week for Thanksgiving week.
The photographer is a promising young CA photographer who is skilled at taking photos both on land and underwater.
The waves were waist to chest high and thick with high tide, but the 6'3" length was very fast and I took off.
We were able to capture some impressive video of surfing with a big line.
Today, Chris tested out a 6'3" RNF-CW model with Aurola Carbon 5 fins.
Because of the large fin surface area, Chris says this fin is his favorite of all the AUROLA fins he has tested so far.
We've received many inquiries from many of you asking how soon you can place your order and when it will arrive, but the RNF-Chris Ward model currently under development was originally commissioned to Mayhem to be designed as a Japan-exclusive model. Chris Ward rode a test board during development and fell in love with it, so much so that he absolutely had to make it his signature model, and Mayhem gave his permission for it to be sold exclusively in Japan in 2012. Please look forward to its official release.
