Surfing in the South Bay with Matt Pagan
by Brad Jacobson Matt Pagan and I have chased swells across the South Bay region of Los Angeles for the past 6+ years. He’s an incredible surfer with one of those smiles that light up a room. I’ve never seen him get negative or act like he’s having a bad day. I’m sure he’s had […]

Anyone who knows the South Bay understands that early winter big swells have no shape. The sand just hasn’t moved since last winter so the waves come in, hit flat sand and wall up.

Endless Session, Day 403: Surfing through Sunrise

Endless Session, Day 337: Cheers
by Morgan Sliff I’m really giving this everything I have. Back when I made the commitment to surf every day for a year, I had an inkling that it would be difficult. I thought I’d definitely make it to day 100, then see how I felt from there. 100 came and went, then halfway, then […]
Endless Session, Day 236: Expression Session
by Morgan Sliff Today I was floating. Not just from a previous long night of craft beer and arduous time change, but because today my surfboard and I were kindred spirits, and together we glided across the ocean’s surface like we had just been handed sweet freedom. Topaz was twice as big but Sapphire had […]
