posso craziness

 there was all sorts of fun going on at poss yesterday - sasha, finding fun waves, staying attached to her board through all kinds of craziness, so much fun to watch

and this awesome dude, doing his own thing, finless multi channeled bottom number - picking some good ones off and gliding all the way to the inside.

I surfed twice yesterday, so was glad to sit one out, grab some good shots, and enjoy the scene.

turbo/crazy dean - whatever you call him, tried repeatedly to take my head off.
I love being in the water when he's there, crowd or no crowd, he finds his waves, laughs and hoots. Like a kid in a bathtub, we need more crazy deans.

I tried taking a few pics with the water cam, but focusing for some reason was impossible today.

Still, here is crazy dean...

Last night was a gift - me, lee, crusty...

One of those magic sessions, catching waves in silent gratitude for the first 30 minutes. Then an lull to chat. You can still score the most well known point on the coast, on a weekend, on a beautiful afternoon, in near solitude.

Here's Lee

and a twist of fate, the latest issue of the journal popped in my box today, page 22, a Devon Howard piece about the man himself...

Hot rodder, board builder, no-leash wearing, single-fin riding surfer. El Segundo’s Tyler Hatzikian is your man’s man. With hands constantly at work, he’s carved out a niche for himself in the heart of L.A.’s congested coastline. Taking board building cues from Hap Jacobs and Lance Carson, he’s rooted in tradition, but his sleds, as he puts it, “are designed as if the shortboard was never invented.”
