El Porto Fridays - 0009 - The Mystic Fog

Super foggy morning at El Porto for the Dawn Patrol. The waves were extra large, so between wave size and the fog, it was a bit harder to film today. Still, even though the surfers are tiny in the footage, it is easy to see that the rides were nice and long this day. And there were some gnarly close outs. Great surf session. Broke my leash in the big waves. Chris cut his foot in two places. Very exciting.

It started out real sparse where we were. But then started to steady pack in with dudes as people started seeing other people paddling out.

sounds a bit like the opening shot of bladerunner

I paddled out at 7am thinking there might be half a dozen people out there. Turns out it was packed, but everyone was invisible from the shore...
