Pier Ratting (you know like mall ratting) is hanging out, just hanging out, in the parking lot on the south side of the Pier. During the week there are only a few, but on the weekend the lot is jammed, with cars cueing up for a spot (at $1.50/hour). Not only do the surfers park there cars here, but they also hang out here when there is nothing going on. They would prefer to be surfing and I would prefer to be shooting. But sometimes it just doesn't work out that way. So you hang out.
Chris' car is always parked in the #1 spot in the lot, seniority!
Right now Italy's 2 man beach volleyball squad practices directly in front of the lot.
A windswept beach littered with volleyballs.
A cyclist stops by to admire and photograph the view.
Shadows in the sand are nice, especially if one is of me!
A rather optimistic Natalie waxes her board even though conditions don't look promising.
