The 2011 US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach Ca. is underway this week. Today I made it down to the beach for round one of men's surfing. It was a great day! Perfect weather - maybe a high of 72 and a little bit of a breeze. Usually June Gloom hangs around through July/August but most of this week has been sunny right off the bat - which means good light. It was kind of weird though, at around 9AM dense fog rolled in for about an hour and the heat had to be put on hold. Then it cleared and we got some good action.
Here's a little sneak peak of Rob Machado, who placed 3rd in his heat and got defeated.
Much more to come so check back soon!
