Cowabunga bro!! This is sick!
In an unusual sight in California’s Sierra Mountains, surfers wasted no time and paddled out on Lake Tahoe, taking advantage of the high winds and big waves brought by the massive storm that began pummelling the northern part of the state on Thursday.
The “Pineapple Express” storm, named after its point of origin near Hawaii, is the strongest storm to hit the northern and central parts of the state in six years. It brought some travel disruption and property damage with it, but Tahoe’s surfers were quick to make the most of the unusual weather system. Surf’s up, dude!
Apparently the high winds that brought in the surfers will turn to heavy snow in the high Sierras this afternoon, Reno NWS reported, and snow was already starting to stick to the ground near Donner Pass, which is just above 7,000 feet.
Send out for snowboarders and skiers…you can’t stop their momentum!
