Surf Expedition

Last weekend, Sean and I hit up ALL the surf spots in Washington state! Friday night we drove out to Neah Bay, and stopped on our way there to check if the surf was breaking in Port Angeles. (It wasn't). This was my second time going to Neah Bay, and I still can't believe how gorgeous the Olympic Penninsula is. It's worth going out there just for the stars (between light pollution in the big city and cloud cover I have completely forgotten that stars existed, let alone the milky way).

Saturday morning we surfed at Neah Bay. The surf was a good size for me but really strong sideways currents made it pretty exhausting. It was sunny though, which was awesome. (Our 'usual' surf break, Westport, is orders of magnitude less sunny than Seattle. Which is also not that sunny.)

After the morning surf session, we drove to La Push, where the waves were huge and scary, and then to Ocean Shores where the waves were also huge and scary, and then ended up at jolly old Westport.

At Westport, the waves were breaking really shallow and I didn't want to crack my head open and die so I took a pass on surfing. But Sean has no such fears, so he surfed away, and I attempted to take photos!! I loved it, and I am now chomping on the bit to go back out there and get better pictures! I got an OK picture of Sean, but he wasn't quite standing up yet so it could be better. Also, it would have been better if he had gotten a left because then he would have been facing me. See why I need to go back now? That being said, check out my sweet pic:
