Smile yourself, Zoltar.
Waiting for the perfect wave. Which is pretty much all they ever do…wait. Even when the surf is good…they wait. Actual surfing doesn’t *really* seem to be their thing.

I’m gonna real enjoy this pass, I can tell already.
World’s largest wind chimes…
For real!
The view from the wetlands…
…Saddleback, looking good.
Looking for lunch…
…the struggle is real.
