A
surfer off the coast of
Santa Cruz, California, is performing a "cutback", or very sharp turn. Santa Cruz and the surrounding
Northern California coastline is a popular surfing destination; however, the year-round low temperature of the
Pacific Ocean in that region (averaging 57 °F or 14 °C) necessitates the use of
wetsuits.Photo credit:
