Venice surf photographer Aliza Almaraz was on the scene capturing the surf, the swell and the Venice Breakwater on January 12th, 14th & 15th. Here are a few notes from Aliza on the surf: “Waves were in the chest-shoulder to head high to overhead high. This is probably some of the best waves I’ve seen so far in Venice. I can’t wait to see what this year brings. The crowd was heavy and so were the locals.” To view more Venice surf pics, visit http://alizalmaraz.smugmug.com/Sports.
