HMB Surf Team/Competition Practice @ Kelly Sunday (Nov-25) 9:00 am; Club will meet @ Dunes.

We're hoping that the easterly offshores will hold for us just one more day. If you're in town, come on down and grab some waves before the weather changes mid-week.

Note we have just one more week to go before our competition next weekend at the Hook in Santa Cruz (junior high Saturday, high school Sunday). Comp surfers will need to work on going right (especially goofy-footers), popping up quick and getting your hits in fast and sharp in short peeling waves. We will try to run heats if conditions are favorable. If you plan to compete on body board, please bring them tomorrow.

See you there,

Your coaches

See you Weds,

Sunday's practice was captured on video by Chris Loeswick:

Anyone who made Sunday's practice should check out Chris's video. Nice straight air by Mr. Hunter Murison.

Conditions we're kinda wonky and back-washy, so all you guys did really well to get some contestable waves and turns.

Remember, for comp surfers we need to continue to work on "speed, power and flow" as well as opening up the front shoulder to set up turns with the hands. Variety is also very important. If you did a roundhouse, follow-up with an off-the-lip and floater (or air!).

Chris promises to get even more kids next time around.

Thanks Chris!

Coach Mike

HMB Team/Comp surfers are invited to join the paddle out for the Maverick's opening ceremonies on Friday (Nov-9). Club surfers are welcome to come spectate at the beach inside Maverick's.

The ceremonies technically begin at 2 p.m., so please be prepared to head over immediately after school, be suited up and ready to go by 3:30 p.m. at the latest. The paddle out and ceremonial circling of the surfers in the waters just offshore will be at approximately 3:45 p.m. This a serious and sacred event for the invited surfers that kicks off the contest window and we expect you to conduct yourselves respectfully with that in mind. They will likely be honoring fallen comrades and looking forward to a safe and spectacular contest.

This is one of those events that makes living in HMB so special, and being part of the surf club and surfing community here such a privilege.

See you there,

Your Coaches

Due to the time change we will start practice earlier and wrap up by quickly sundown, which is now about 5 p.m. The surf is forecast to drop, but the weather is set to cool off with some West winds picking up, which could bump up conditions. Be prepared for a venue change if we are forced to retreat.

Note, Team surfers have been invited to the Maverick's paddle out on Friday and the concert-fundraiser at the OPL is on Saturday. More details will be forthcoming ahead of these events.

See you tomorrow,
