San Clemente, California

Hello all,

Just writing a short note from here in sunny California. I have been here in San Clemente, California for a couple of days now and loving it. San Clemente is a somewhat small city, a population of about, 65,000 in between LA and San Diego. It's a beach town right on the pacific ocean that get amazing waves.



Actually San Clemente area is one of the best spots to surf in North America. It has an area that beginners can start surfing, all the way up to more advanced surf spots. Also this area, more specifically Trestles beach, will be hosting the upcoming 2008 Boost Mobile Pro surf competition from Sept 7th to 13th. I wish I could stay longer to watch the comps, it should be a really good one.

I am staying at a condo that is pretty much right on the beach, with a view of the pacific ocean. It's pretty awesome, check out the pic below. It's really amazing to wake up everyday and have the ocean right there for a quick swim or surf in the morning before you start your day.

Today I went bodyboarding, since I never surfed before, and it was so much fun. The waves where pretty gentle to my surprise and a good size for someone, like me who is not the best swimmer. Tomorrow I'm going to give surfing a shot, want to see how close or not it is to snowboarding. I already know it's going to be hard because I was trying to stand on my bodyboard and it's not easy.

Well I just want to say that San Clemente is a beautiful city with sand, sun, surf & really nice people. I think this could be my new favorite place....we'll find out. Definitely a city to check out if you have the chance.
