I unexpectedly ended up at the Nike US Open of Surfing today, at Huntington Beach. It was super fun. And also my first time ever shooting surfing! I’d be a lot more immersed in the culture if I had moved to NZ in 2010 as planned, instead of rotting away in northern England.
Huntington Beach is world-famous for its surf. And the US Open is famous for the amazing surfers who come from all around the world to compete. A winning combination.
These guys do things that I can’t even imagine is possible on a surf board. It doesn’t always go to plan! I’m heading back tomorrow, so look out for another post!
So, we left the PCH behind and ventured in to San Francisco.
Although we simply drove through, I got to see a good portion of Downtown SF, and of course, the Golden Gate Bridge.
We managed to make it to Medford, OR, before stopping for the night.
Next day – Portland. We hit up Voodoo Doughnut, which is this world famous doughnut place. It’s earned its reputation, they’re seriously nice!
