Dan Riesgo took a minute to look out to the ocean Tuesday morning, July 16, to assess the conditions before heading out on his stand-up paddleboard to where big waves were rolling in at Doheny State Beach.
He stretched his paddle out toward the ocean — to where waves were calmer and fewer people were sitting on their surfboards — and pointed out a safer area to his 13-year-old son, Declan Riesgo.
There would be less chance of being clobbered by incoming waves at the Dana Point surf break.
