Tubular Travel Time & Rainbow Snap

Check out Christopher Taloa, Matt Mohagen, and Kim Magin and their approaches to a "secret" South Bay spot.

 A hollow space, for a few fleeting moments
 Whenever Hippy Tree rider Matt Mohegan does a turn...
 a rainbow appears.
 (Check lower half of the second and third frame for proof!  Sorry, but it wasn't the coveted double rainbow of YouTube clip fame--maybe next time.)
 Hawaiian professional bodyboarder Chris Taloa's riding fit this oddly-shaped, warping wave perfectly.  Here, he parks it in the shorepound at the end of a long ride.
Kim Magin earns the closing shot, however, as he was able to pull inside a wave while riding within very close proximity to the photographer.

A Tale of Two Windswell Turns

Two different wave riders, two different beach breaks in the South Bay, two different stances, two different wind directions, and one result: a lot of displaced water.

 Bobby Kithcart, bodyboarder, dropknee smash, Manhattan Beach Pier earlier this month
Sunset at Manhattan Beach Pier later that evening earlier this month
 Unidentified, surfer, standup slash, Redondo Beach this evening
