Labour Day weekend typically marks the last days of summer and an end to yuppie filled parking lots and line ups. This year, beginning early friday morning radio station began to broadcast extreme surf warnings and told swimmers to stay on the beach. Legends and locals from up and down the coast began to gather and wait for the first signs of the 22 sec swell. As the sun began to set on Friday night, the tide went dead low and Malibu beach lit up. Parking lot talk compared it to a Hawaiian winter session and as broken boards washed around in the soup, locals roared from the side lines as legends were made and their hometown hero's shot the pier once again, celebrating the end of summer.

Bio
12/18/1968 - Grew up in NYC metro area. Had lived in Venice CA for 15 years when at 39 decided it was time to learn to surf. Loved it. Now surf 4-6 times a week.
As a technologist I had to get the GoPro HD Surf cam when it came out. I record all my entire sessions in 960p HD, unless I can convince one of my friends to ride my board or put the camera on their board, in which case even cooler I have footage of my friends surfing.
More and more of my friends are starting to surf, inspired by my pictures and videos.
