The waves today are amazing! The size and power of Hurricane Sandy, the Super Storm, is pretty incredible. We had no winds whatsoever for the past 10 hours resulting in super glassy double to triple overhead waves. Tres Palmas is FIRING! Other tucked away south spots are working well and have barrells big enough to fit my car vertically. The North side of Rincon is maxed out and closing out a lot. Only the big wave breaks are handling the swell. Just about every big wave spot is EPIC right now. We'll have a Gallery up when this event is all done so keep checking back. If you ever see yourself in the report, claim your pic(s)! Email:rinconsurfreport.com Want to know the wave forecast for surfing Puerto Rico? Check the forecast further down.

THE DONALD

doesn't get any better than this!

 By the time he was 12 years old, Takayama bought his own plane ticket with money earned from a Honolulu paper route. He promptly landed a job in Venice Beach, CA, at Velzy-Jacobs. When Velzy and Jacobs split up .. Dewey Weber set up shop in the same little building located on Pacific Ave.
