This photo was taken at Salt Creek today. The waves were extremely small and no one was surfing, which was rare.
There were no waves around San Clemente either, so surfing was impossible.
So, today's Nishii is,
We went to the South Side Pier at Huntington Beach, where there were some waves.
Available at Love Surf from spring 2013
I went to test drive TAJ Barrow's new model, the BEACH BUGGY.
The waves look like this. They look good in the photo, but they are SET waves that come very occasionally, and there are no waves anywhere so it's crowded.
The waves have been so small for so long now that I can't remember ever having such a long stretch of time.
However, the BEACH BUGGY is a high-performance model that is short and buoyant, making it perfect for ripping in small, knee-high waves. Its dimensions are 5'8" x 18 1/2" x 2 1/8". "It ran well, floated well, didn't stall, and moved lightly."
My first impression is that the SUB-SCORCHER has sharper movement. It has volume overall, but this new model is designed for those who don't need the volume of the SUB-DRIVER-JP and can be made 1-3 inches shorter than the F1-STUB or WHIPLASH-TB for more buoyancy. I'll ride it when the waves are bigger than they are now, and will write another review after riding it more.
