Windansea in the Time of The Pandemic

Someone did something pretty gangster during the Covid-19 pandemic-shutdown and monthlong county-wide surfing ban today.

Here’s the feel-good story of the month so far. This set of photos, from the page of Randy Dible, who for a long time has been San Diego’s premier local surf photographer ‘is everything’. I so hope someone caught this epic event of social distancing on video. ~Editor

“Man paddles into pumping Windansea…..catches a couple waves….as cars stop and honk horns…crowd gathers to watch and cheer him on before authorities close in on him….he makes it to his truck and makes clean getaway” ~ Randy Dible.

[When surfing is outlawed only outlaws will surf! Totally gangster. ~Ed]
