Surf's Up at Hendry's!

A change in the weather has made the leaves fly all over town, folks are digging for that blanket they put away in April and surfers have headed into the water. A quick sunset look at Hendry's Beach/Arroyo Burro County Park at sunset Friday evening showed decent waves and a dozen or more surfers in the water.



As you can see, the waves were large enough to have some fun, although they didn't appear to be too predictable or regular to me - a non-surfer.


The waves provided enough fun to turn this surfer board-over-teacup - or some other equally cool surfin' lingo-speak....


This wave had a size and shape to attract more riders than it could hold. Surprise, here we all are!

Now who's gonna ride and who's gonna watch?
Well, maybe we both watch...???

All's well that ends with a grin.!.




This guy had some nice rides!


I found him on several waves.

Just another grand day on Hendry's....

I like the photos and, being a surfer, find it refreshing to read comments from a non-surfer instead of the usual "too cool" lingo that surfers use. Thanks for putting them on Edhat!

I remember bodyboarding at Hendry's in elementary school and buying french fries from the brown pelican back when they had an outdoor bar. I remember my first kiss sharing a seat on half moon rock at north point one sunset. I have so many fond memories of this beach.
