Newport Beach early Oct, the surfmat meet up in Ocean Beach (San Diego) the other week, river mat surfing a now \"green faced\" wave in Salida, Colorado last week..  So wish I could do it all: live at the beach; live near the river waves; and live up in the mountains (snowboarding/snowkating/powsurfing)...\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNewport Beach, CA on a small fun morning.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuck walking (I never bodyboarded before so these fins are hard for me to beach navigate).  Scored a real nice set of Yucca ultra soft flex fins that work so well barefooted.  I have a set of XXL Yucca ultra soft fins I use in the river over 7mm booties for the cold water.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWas such a cool surfmat meetup.  Worth my flight and room points used!!!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSurfline shots of the surfmat meetup. Matsurfers on the black ball-near side of the jetty.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll matsurfers in this pic!!!  At one time I counted like 30+ mat surfers in the line-up sharing the joy of riding bags of air for fun.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage processing.
