After a morning of catching waves, Brian Anderson waited his turn to surf the last set on a Christmas Eve outing with his buddies.

The experienced surfer took a breather and straddled his board, his legs dangling into the gray waters 100 yards from the Seaside beach near Tillamook Head.

He was exhausted and sweaty inside his wetsuit as he looked into the cloudy sky above the ocean about noon."
