Painting the Santa Barbara Waterfront in Oil by Paul Cumes October 2009

So... Last week inspired me. Monday I checked the marine report for yesterday... yeah, 4' off shore winds. So, I stripped long board and was up before daybreak ready to go and noticed that it was cold out but the dark concealed the storm clouds I would see later. Shit, again. I should have went Tues when the conditions were the same. Now, I'm on call. My wetsuit & board are ready. As soon as I know there are good conditions again... I'm getting my boogy on.

Your seascapes make me want to go surfing. I almost made it last week. I took my camera instead of my board. I thought,"It's probably ok if it's clean." I drove 80 in my 4x4 all the way because I was about 10min late 2 shoot a sunrise. I got there and shot an OK sunrise for being late and as the light came out I noticed the surf... Pretty clean and there were some over head sets rolling through. A reminder, Paul... Florida. You know how it is here. It was a good day that I missed, shit.
