During the early 1980's, Bottlenose Dolphins arrive at Rincon, surfing the El Nino currents Northward. They found a coastline of the Santa Barbara Channel loaded with baitfish and great waves like Rincon to surf, so they laid down their roots and have been reproducing locally ever since. This one is just a pup, What you can't really see in the wave is the mother and possibly also the father -- a "surfing family"...
