After a freakishly warm early November, finally neoprene was the answer as water temps dipped into the low 60s. With cold water comes winter swell and the beginning of the South Bay’s Big Wave contest time period, December 1st. Drop Zone had the pleasure of seeking out all of the finalists from last years event for an up-coming article in the December issue. These seekers of the Bastions of Bomboras are as eclectic as ever as each surfer is completely different in almost every way. The street team’s rusty station wagon hit the PCH asphalt from Playa Del Rey to an undisclosed Bay in profiling madness all for the love of surf story.
This week also included the first real swell of the winter season as the Drop Zone email box is overloaded with hot shots of the locals at places we have the responsibility of not naming and will not name. Best advice, figure it out yourself.
