US Open of Surfing 2008 in 3 days...

Summer is upon us, but as always, we are blanked with limited south swell; and the US Open of Surfing is scheduled to start in 3 days. Despite the meek conditions, the pros are out warming up in sloppy small surf.

A reminder that summer is in full swing. Charlotte about to paddle out
