This video courtesy of John Bonaventure, my new hero for paddling out in this swell. took this awesome video of Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz just prior to the 25th Annual Santa Cruz Surf Kayak Fest.
Steamer Lane, as reported is a pretty densely packed area for surfers, John does a nice job of grabbing waves in a pretty tight line-up.
Also as a sidenote, this was also the last day Santa Cruz saw sun for a week.

So whose wave is that?
Awesome question Tom, it's pretty clear that it belongs to the kayaker in this case. Not because he is kayaker, but because he is closest to the unbroken shoulder, he is underway surfing, and the board surfer didn't even stand up yet.
