at first glance, it looks like this surfing is riding a wave on the ocean. when it zooms out, you see this is the sacramento river in redding. the location is at a spillway that you can usually see, but heavy rain this winter led to the water rising over the spillway and creating this snaun stop wave. the crew filmed this earlier in the year and just released the footage. they say when this was filmed, the water was quite cold. when you live hours from the ocean, it's a real treat to have the waves come to you. that's just incredible. i love that video. okay, time to ask finney this morning. donovan from vallejo has a question about parking tickets. he spoke to us at our ask finney event in daly city. seven on your side's michael finney has your answer. >> how do you fight a ticket that you did get on your car or the subsequent notices in mail, and was given on a sunday in san
