The Lost Boys . . .
Last night the high tide coincided with pumping South swell and a surprise sunset that set the horizon ablaze. As I was getting my camera out I heard people hooting and pointing towards the point and knew the kids were jumping. I jogged down the trail and sure enough, there were groms everywhere, mostly on surfboards trying to surf the backwash. There were a few kids jumping, but only one really owning the spot and going full send. Of course, it was my neighbor, who was in a similar photo I took two years ago. I tried to get closer but the surf was so high I was practically swimming when I snagged this moment as he jumped off the top railing. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else do this, nor would I recommend it since the water is only a few feet deep. But he’s the master of making the leap and makes it look oh so fun. Summer is here.
