Anyone else loving the winter, outside of the snow?

left the cold northwest for a few days in San Diego to visit the girlfriend's family....we got a couple morning sessions while there...first time I'd ever surfed in SoCal...man, I could get used to wearing a 3/2 suit with no booties, gloves, or hood in the middle of winter...wasn't exactly like surfing in Mexico but it was darn nice.
..and now I'm back in the NW, 5/4 suit and all the other crap waiting for the next time the swell is a reasonable size for my meager skills.
i got a couple session at steamers christmas eve and day after it was good i hate the cold water but love it at the same time. those pictures are epic where is that wave at?
I don't have any pics, but Salt Creek was insane yesterday. A foot or two overhead, clean all day.
I got to go from skiing good windbuff at Mammoth for four days to surfing epic Salt Creek, one of the reasons I love Socal.
Those waves are at three different spots, all down there in Southern California.Quote:
