Teahupoʻo Pro Surfing Competiting Tahiti

SUPing the Big Sur River

We spent Memorial Day Weekend camping in Big Sur at Andrew Molera State Park which is home to one of the most popular surf spots in the area. The beach is situated at the mouth of the Big Sur River about 1/2 mile from the parking lot and 1/4 mile from our camp site. I wasn't looking forward to carrying a board down the trail so I decided to SUP the river.

There were some portages on the river but some really good moments standing up.

The surf wasn's great and the wind was howling just past the shielding cliffs that make this a popular surf spot. The waves were breaking in about 2ft and allowed for 2 very quick turns. Despite the less than incredible surf paddling the river was an incredible experience and catching a couple waves was a bonus.

Rip Curl Pro Search comes to San Francisco

Pretty psyched to have a pro surfing competition right in my new backyard but I am not sure where I should surf this weekend. Yesterday Ocean beach dished out the usual currents and one pro surfer spotted a shark coming in mid heat. Check out the competition live!
