Surf is sizeable, but pretty stormy. Hoping for an afternoon clean up with a wind change. The South East winds are blowing pretty hard at the moment..

January 13, 2012 Austin sets up and easily pulls five 360 chop hops at Pleasure Point, Santa Cruz. Almost pulls the 6th attempt. According to Facebook post, he did 18 chop hops on only 3 wave. Unfortunately, I only caught this one wave by chance when riding my bike by the Point.

Sept 26 was a glassy day at Pleasure Point on the East side of Santa Cruz. Waves were small and typically mushy but the water was a nice green color. Jumped of the rocks at the top; had a guest appearance by Mike Howard. Then surfed my way down the point. Lots of bottom turns to foams climbs, a 360 foam climb, cutbacks, pullin, headdip, and an off the lip. This is the short version with music.

Scored this little gem at Pleasure Point. I thought I saw someone embedded in the lip as I went by.. Backwards angle goodness!!

Managed to snab a nice 360 air while paddling out.

Austin Smith-Ford stick’s this one with authority!
