Santa Cruz Steamer Lane Surfing

Summer has arrived with its tourists and small glassy waves.

Scotts Creek Surfing - Santa Cruz

A few weeks ago, we visited Scotts Creek as Santa Cruz. Only a handful of surfers were on the water. May be one day, Benoit and I, will be strong enough to surf there, but meantime, we ended up at Cowell beach, with the beginners.

Since Francois has the right lens, and I have the right camera, we decided to share. The camera was mounted with his 300 mm lens with my tripod and the camcorder with his monopod.

Brave and Courageous surfers do not fear the cold and the shore break.






















































Next photos were shot by Francois. He does know how to use a camera for sure.

Wow






The next photos were taken at the waterfall surf spot. It was huge but we were lacking a big lens. Next time we will come well equipped.

The wave must be about 2 feet over head.
