The Traveling Pomeranian and I went surfing at Cowell Beach in Santa Cruz. Cowell Beach is known for long easy waves however on this day just a mile up the coast there were 13 footers breaking. There were too many rogue big waves coming into Cowell Beach to paddle out with Bailey but we were able to hit some waves closer to shore.

I saw a few Class B & C RV’s that were pulled up for the day to go surfing. The surfing culture in Santa Cruz is very inviting.

The waves were really hitting and there were some excellent surfers out on this day.

Most people take these stairs down to the water. Others that are bold jump off the cliff and throw their surf board while they are in the air.

Bailey gets really excited to go surfing. When we use to live in Newport Beach she watched the surfers and would greet them when they came in. When I started taking her surfing she instantly loved being on the board. Even when it’s out of the water she likes to sit on the board.

After we were done surfing we decided to watch the surfers take on the big waves at the cliffs. We walked along the most scenic 1 hour walk in Santa Cruz.

Great moment taking in the sunset overlooking the Santa Cruz Pier.
