Rincon, Santa Barbara – I love right point breaks

If it wasn’t for my dad’s father and mother, Witch’s Rock Surf Camp …

I’m guiding a surf tour on the Zori a week on Feb 17th. That has been taking up a ton of my time lately. We have done a major retrofit, including: – complete engine overhaul – new windows throughout – aft stateroom modifications (converted to 2 staterooms, 1 stateroom with double bed and 1 stateroom with 3 single beds) – new curtains, new beds w/ marine upholstery for sleeping on deck – new aft deck …
