Paramedics, firefighters, surf rescue, and beach patrol personel look on after onlookers reported a ship aground at Ocean Beach, San Francisco near Sloat Blvd Friday July 1, 2011.  According to bystanders the ship was close to tipping over on the sand bar, eliciting the full response of San Francisco’s surf rescue personel.  The ship managed with dislodge its hull from the sand bar without further incident.  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
