Eh, nice going! What's it like getting in by those rocks...? Looks all burly as hell. I've been looking for some fresh coast spots in the County area.. Where else is good? Is there a rip by that salmon point spot? Someone told me I'd get sucked out into the lake if tried surfing there. Thx

@hoteltwofive yeah man - Salmon Point, West Point, Soup Bay; you're bound to die somewhere... ha ha. the rocks are gnarly; you'll be surfing along, and all of a sudden you'll be on a rock shelf with the only thing between your head and death is your balance and 6 inches of water. I was once carried a little too far out; and had to swim back in. nearly passed out from exhaustion. TAKE A FRIEND, and surf safe (ish).

@edybanguinbroa sounds about right. salmon point, aaaaand I believe what we used to call "soup bay". there were a few different spots. I'll try and upload a better quality version soon; I forgot how low quality this one is.
