Happy Halloween 10-31-2023

Waves: 1 - 3+ Feet

Wind: Variable

Scary sets with ghoulishly good conditions!

 

Got costumes?

 

 

The Hawaiian-Bat-Tarzan?

 

 

Ready to go!

After seeing some good sized sets, we opted to leave the costumes in the car, for safety reasons. We wouldn't want to run over someone while wearing a mask.

 

 

 

Paddling out Brandon and I saw something floating, we went to check and found this poor turtle dead.

RTP  WTF  is this J-bay?!!!!!!

 

 

Remember the dead turtle?  Bruce and I went to check on him because Bruce thought it was a seal.

 

 

Bruce realized it is a turtle.

 

After checking the turtle, we paddled back into the line-up. No more than a minute or two later, we were all witness to a shark THRASHING on the turtle!!! I can't say if it was 1 shark or more and we couldn't tell how long the shark was but the bugga was THRASHING and TWISTING on the dead turtle. I was just happy the shark wasn't thrashing when I was sticking my arm in the water to take the photos.

What a scary Halloween morning in the surf!  I'm glad our TREAT was paddling in unharmed, we don't need no tricks today.

 

Come on down tomorrow!
