House of Olaf: Seal!

So we hit the Santa Monica beach break at a place called chet this weekend. Saturday and Sunday were really nice peaky rollers that allowed for great lefts or rights sometimes all the way to the beach. Due to an achy shoulder I took out the eight foot fun board which was great. It picked up the waves nicely and no last second hard paddles which is usually where my shoulder gets tweaked.

Halfway through the Sunday session one of my compadres pointed out a dark triangle that was poking out of the water about a hundred yards out. Everyone saw it and after the shark sighting a few days earlier we thought that it deserved some looking in to. Lifeguards are cool people in general and they have all sorts of neat stuff in there little huts such as oh, binoculars. I went and asked them to check it out and in stead of a killer shark (!) it was a chiller seal(.).
