Nica Post: Fresh and Tiny ... New Surf Video

The morning's dawn patrol yielded some tasty bocadillos, video-wise. Check it after the jump.

The 5:20 a.m. wake up got Spat on the beach in time to attempt another time-lapse sunrise, which may actually have yielded results. Tomorrow's effort will zoom tighter on the giant glowing orb.

The swell has dropped to about nil, but that didn't stop Ed Pickett from North Carolina and Jeb from France. Spat set up on the viewing stand between Buena Onda and Rancho Santana, using the HV30 and the 1.7x lens with polarizing filter.

In other Spat news, the GoPro has been mounted on the Linden and it gets a spin today. Low tide at noon apparently will work at a pocket beach just north of here, by the curiously named Magnific Rock restaurant.

Mario, one of the local kids, says the swell returns Saturday. Until then, Spat shakes off the rust and test cameras. In the meantime, roll Jeb below, hinting at chops in more critical conditions.

And here's Ed, who runs the Crystal South Surf Camp with his wife back in Car-o-line. The HV30 setup shows its capabilities at this range, which is about 75 yards... Any more than that and it's gonna be a leap.
