Tourmaline Surf Beach

On 28 April 2007 my Dad and I went to Tourmaline Surf Beach for a day of surfing and playing in the water and sand.

My Dad and I have beginner boards that are made of foam instead of fiberglass or wood. I think my Dad is going to need to stick with the beginner board for a long time! Today was his first attempt at surfing and he never made it up on the board. He'll keep trying.


The cliffside neighborhood of Bird Rock is just North of Tourmaline Surf Beach. Notice the huge wads of seaweed that had washed ashore. Gross.


I tossed a few mudballs into the ocean...


...and jumped over the seaweed.
