took this a few hours ago...
swell is breaking all the way over the top of Cape Kiwanda...

long story about the only camera I have is my phone, but I managed to capture one picture.

this was about 1/2 way back to low tide.

fun times watching about 3 guys trying to paddle out in that. I'm not sure what they were planning on riding anyway, but they never got very far out.

Ya not too many cilvilians out on the S.jetty
too windy and cold
one approached with kid, wife and boogy-boards
Ben the nice guy from surf shop went out and explained the dangers
turns out he was an ocean kayaker pal of his
and they played safely in the pool downwind

We gave a ride to a surfer on the way to the jetty
he went out paddled around for half an hour just getting hammered
came in and said it sucked
but he got some great exercise Laughing Cool
