HB cliffs sometimes has surf ...
Gary came in from his bike ride and was about to head out for work. I said "are you nuts?" Get your board paddle out and catch three or four waves and then go to work. Oh Yeah, he caught some waves.

it is not always a good idea to pack your car with a bunch of people and come surf these surf breaks. The more you bring the more chance they gonna have to catch their quota and they will take off on you!
Ask Mark, he will tell you all about it!
Still on other days the HB cliffs ...
can hold a whole bunch of people and everyone catching waves!
The place can be magic when it is going off!
a
HB
cliffs surf story...
While shooting at the HB Cliffs a few weeks ago, I came across this young surfer walking up the beach. What drew my attention to the lad was that as he was walking toward me approximately seventy-five yards distant, I saw something the off-shore winds were causing to swinging back and forth behind him. It was something I have not seen in easily thirty plus years. The kid was wearing a O'Neill long johns and beaver-tail jacket circa 1974. I walked over to him and we chatted for a bit and he told me the wetsuit was a "retro" wetsuit he got a HSS. I told him thanks for taking me back to my childhood and told him to go catch some waves. Wow, I was in hog heaven watching this kid surf in that good o'l beaver tail.
