Rugged road tripping through America was an opportunity that may only come around once in a lifetime. However, the trip almost wouldn’t have been worth it if we didn’t catch any swell when we reached our West Coast destination. Below is a gallery of photos from waves surfed in San Diego County, CA.

September 2017 was something that may have never happened before and may never happen again. I surely cannot remember a run of swell like it.

We tried to calm down; we ran a heavy risk of over-frothing ourselves and did not want to be too disappointed when SwellInfo fucked us over yet again. However, we […]
