[Surfer's log] Coal Oil Point, California

in #sports7 years ago (edited)

The surf has been pumping in Santa Barbara lately. However, the natural disasters have put a lot of stress on local families and our tourist economy that depends on visitors from Los Angeles and other cities south. The highway 101 and mountain roads were closed for public traffic for two weeks because of a terrible mudslide. We were basically cut off for a while. There was no way to get to the best surf spots in our area such as Rincon or Ventura Point.

So, the locals were left with only two choices - either surf downtown (it’s only good for beginners) or go to other few spots by the famous University of California at Santa Barbara. One of them is called Coal Oil Point and can be fun once in a while. Of course it isn’t nearly as good as Rincon and is clogged with UCSB newbies who paddle out from their dorms and nearby apartments. But you get what you get and should be thankful for any opportunity. That’s exactly what we did! Chris, with his board. And I, with my camera:)

От кадров с серферами на волнах аж дух захватывает.

you should check my blog and learn how to bid, you put 20 SBD into a bot which was showing you that you could only bid less than that...

hahaha, okay, I guess you are right. though i was trying my best to read the bot tracker correctly. i'll check your blog))

hehe I know, is just to take care of your money and that from the rest, normally bidding a high stake is risky since it makes the max. bid profit to decrease fast, and also remember many people waits until last minute, so try to bid 1/4 or 1/2 of what is the max. profitable bid during the last minute, that leaves space for others bid, and in case it turns negative it will not be much. My system gives me a 10-15% liquid (SBD for author rewards) plus another 5% illiquid (Steem Power).

Indeed, you advice was invaluable and I greatly appreciate you sharing this knowledge with me!

Glad I made a change, there is so much information that sometimes is better to give it like this :)

super like surfing ...

Great photos !
Sorry to hear about the mudslides, hope the community recovers quickly.
We did the 101 last year during the storm and it was pretty sketchy, rocks were rolling all over the place.
Gotta surf where you can!

Yeah, what a disaster, even those who didn't get hit physically have been affected. The community is holding strong though, people are very supportive of each other. Thank you!

Glad to hear that, looking forward to seeing your posts

Классно! Какой зум нужен чтобы снимать серферов? 8)

Приглашаю в sevendaybnwchallenge https://steemit.com/sevendaybnwchallenge/@boddhisattva/the-seven-day-b-and-w-challenge-day-2

Спасибо!;) у меня Canon EF100-400mm и три проблемы: 1. всё рано мало, вероятно, нужен конвертор, но я боюсь потерять автофокус, не пробовала пока. 2. в сумерках, на рассвете, почему-то именно этот объектив плохо себя ведет)) 3. у меня старая камера with very slow shutter speed, я упускаю часть нужных frames из-за этого(((В серфе есть определенные моменты, на самом топе или в самом низу при повороте. Остальное - в топку((
Короче, есть, над чем работать))
Пойду почитаю про photo challenge!
