This is Harley Rubinstein. I met him in a parking lot about an hour before I shot this. He was a traveler from Australia eating PB and Js out of his Ford wagon. He is one of the most genuine dudes I've ever met. Long story short, we scored fun waves all day, shared some laughs, and left at dusk as friends. It was a pretty epic day. Photo: ColinNearman.com
I live in an area filled with novelty waves. Our coastline running into Big Sur is filled with hundreds of bays and coves. Upon receiving south swells, each one reacts in a different way. Your day can either lead you searching for hours with no luck, or scoring oil-glass peaks on your log without a soul in sight. That’s the beauty of the Central Coast. Fortunately, I got lucky on a smaller south that came our way last week. There were three days of total bliss. It was nothing but good waves, good friends, and a buttload of smiles going around. As surfers, we’re easily entertained. Surfing allows us to appreciate simplicity at its finest. I dig that we can learn that from the ocean.
