Palos Verdes

Took off from work a little early yesterday and decided to hop on the streetfighter and explore some of the coastline near my house. Palos Verdes is a little peninsula that stretches out just north of Long Beach. The cliffs and coves are amazing and the views are the same. I really wanted to check some of the secluded surf spots back there.

The first stop was the Korean Friendship bell that sits up on a hill over looking the Pacific. The place is pretty relaxing.

Next I headed north and got this shot of the Trump National Golf Course. The Donald bought this strip of land that was falling into the ocean and built a golf course. What a fantastic idea?

I headed down some side streets and stumbled upon this beauty of a cove. There were million dollar mansions behind me but not a soul in sight. I think this cove could hold a nice right point break on north swells. There should be one rolling in tonight so I might try to check it out again tomorrow.

Next was the infamous Lunada Bay. This place is a very big right on the right swells but the localism here is all time. People throw rocks at you while you walk down the trail then punch you in the face if you make it to the line up and then when you get back to your car you realize your tires have been slashed. Pretty stand up citizens around here.

The sun was setting so I figured I'd get a pic of the streetfighter's silhouette. I didn't realize that the sun was going down, I was 40 miles from home and only had a limo black face mask to ride with. Needless to say, I couldn't see a damned thing on the ride home.
