Friday 6-22-12 Torrance Beach with the Riviera Wave Riders

Friday 6-22-12 Torrance Beach 2'-3':

Surfer: Eric Cedeno
Torrance Beach 6-22-12

I looked at the surf for a lot longer than I normally do and I almost decided not to go out at all, but I figured I'm here so might as well make the best of it. I grabbed my 6'10" and headed down the ramp at Torrance beach. I saw a few of the Riviera Wave Riders out there already in the water and I said high  to Topaz Mike (Lifeguard) before paddling out. The waves were pretty walled and most of them were closing out. I knew I would have to be picky on my wave selection. I managed to get some good ones. I even got a few big sets that held up all the way in and those Riviera Wave Riders are a pretty cool bunch of people. Three of them told me "nice wave" after I pulled into a big left and actually made it back out past the shoulder.  I paddled back out to the peak and a big right came up and the older guy on the red board let me have the wave even though he was in the right spot, that kind of made my day. One of these day I'll get a picture of me surfing on their website... One day...
