Photographing a surfboard can only be done so many ways, and this was a new one for me. Ocean Beach local Mark Valenta showed us his quiver and I was able to reflect his neighborhood in his single fin. @jweiand/obb

The “Dancing Wolf”, a 38 foot yacht reported stolen out of Vallejo, sits aground on Ocean Beach, San Francisco at low tide. A man allegedly ran the boat aground in a drunken voyage celebrating his 35th birthday, only to be woken up by the National Park Service the morning of Friday April 15th. Jon Weiand

The winds shifted for about two hours from stiff onshores to moderate to light offshores with no one out. It takes dedication and a flexible schedule to catch it on a day like this. This wave was one in a thousand. Oh and I did not fake the lighting, I saw a split in the clouds and waited for some swell to hit this bar. Jon Weiand
