January was an amazing month for waves along California’s coastline. After what seemed like an eternity of flatness, the charts finally starting showing some color, and surfers shook the cobwebs off their boards and paddled out.

Life is temporary. I love how all these reflections and shadows are unique and completely related. Derek Hynd and I once stumbled upon a band playing in the streets of France at night. He turned to me and said “Any one of these guys could stop playing music at any time and it would NOT affect the music.” There was no synergy, it was chaos. Photo: Aroyan/lowtiderising.com
