Northern California

This is my first entry into my Endless Summer Tour. Ironically, I've chosen to start this trip in the coldest place in the world. You get off the plane and you think it must not be that bad because you're in California, but as soon as that wind hits you're face you know that there is Southern California weather and then there is Northern California weather. The trip to Half Moon Bay was incredible. Lush plantation, mystic scenery, everything you would expect from the region and more. After an hour or so I finally get my first glimpse of the coast. The coast that far north is so powerful you can feel the vibration from the shore. Unfortunately, there is a storm in the region so every spot is pretty much closed out, including Mavericks by Pillar Point.
I'm still on EST so I woke up the next morning at 5:30 completely well rested. The trip down to Santa Cruz was again incredible. The Cabrillo Highway passes along the coast and comes across vast fields with livestock and produce galore. Santa Cruz is such a great city. It's quaint and maintains it college city feel mixed with an underlying surf culture, which I absolutely love. I think in a previous life I must have been a banana slug....A University of California @ Santa Cruz Banana Slug that is. The pics will follow, I promise. The computer I am working on doesn't have a USB port.
Next Stop, Southern California and all its glory.....
