Yes, Santa Cruz is the top US spot to surf. Not a surprise, with the variety of beaches and point breaks that can be found. Tonight, the wind was dead and the waves glassy. I was too late for the surf but just in time to take that nice sunset at Waddell creek a few miles north of Santa Cruz.

The blue whale skeleton can be found at the Marine center just a few miles from our house. The weather patterns have been really strange lately. A large storm with thunder light strike us. I am pretty stoked that I could snap that picture which is a bit dramatic with those dark clouds.
