Entry 034 - New Perspective


Happy Memorial Day! A little smaller than yesterday with a new perspective on the GoPro. Yep, I turned the GoPro around and was rewarded with plenty of dolphin. They were totally in the lineup! Couple of guys even had to dodge a few when they paddled into a choice set. Didn't catch many myself but I suppose I should be happy with the ones I did catch considering the crowd (10-12 checking out each wave)! Should have brought out the 8' Costco special.  Think I'll switch back to the other POV of the GoPro too. Not much to see at Porto.


Weather: 64 deg, Mostly Sunny
Conditions: Glassy, Warm, Steep, Mixed Up, Crowded(!)
Waves Caught: 3
Sea Life: Dolphin (6 and close!)
Sea Temp: 65 deg

Entry 033 - Cool It


Similar to yesterday - all mixed up. Got in and the water was bumpy but eventually turned glassy for a bit toward the end of the session. Dolphin were out as well and one popped up within 3 ft of my board. Any closer and I would have fallen off from shock! Caught two good rides with a bunch of junk in the middle. All-in-all little more fun than yesterday except when you take into account those who thought they owned the ocean today. I mean, seriously, we're all out there to have fun. When I'm paddling back from catching something while you turn your board around 2 feet in front of me expecting to catch the monster coming in, no, it's not going to happen no matter how hard I paddle into the peak. Cool down!

Entry 032 - No Booties


Yep, no booties today! The water was nice and warm but the surf was just okay. All mixed up, confused, and steep when a set did come through. I'm hoping tomorrow is better. Nothing else to say really, board repaired and lookin' for something good.
