Starting Thursday and finishing Saturday, Trestles beach hosted the Hurley Pro surf competition. Hurley Pro Champion Kelly Slater floating down the wave. Enough about my romance, let's talk waves. Now as I'm realizing and solidifying who I am as a person, as many of us do in our mid-20s (and many others in their 40s), I've come to find that none of us choose the ocean, in some strange way, regardless of how inland we live, she eventually finds and demands our attention. The ocean was once a mistress of mine that I kept secret from the craggy mountain perches. Surfing gives us a chance in the morning or evening to slow down, a chance to time our lives by each wave set rather than the second hand on our watches (at least the analog ones).

Surfing is the mellow lifeblood of California that stops the heart attacks that should be caused by our always-time-crunched personas that can only be compared to Alice's white rabbit.

Trust me, it's been on my mind since the beginning, I just needed a good event to cover so I could approach it right. I know what you are thinking, how could I possibly have gotten this far writing a blog about California culture without having talked about surfing. It always feels good no matter how many times you've done it." - Surfmeister Paul Staunch.ĭane Reynolds catching air off a 6-ft wave.
