Entry 069 - Glassy!

Gorgeous morning for dawn patrol. I've never seen the ocean so glassy and clear. While the sets looked small from the parking lot, they turned out to be fun and often steep when I got in. The smaller sets were hard to catch and petered out while some of the big stuff had a tendency to wall up and make for some fun and exciting rides. It was crowded, of course, for Labor Day weekend and there were newbies in the lineup and on one of the nicer waves I caught a guy paddled right into my line. Really kinda sucked but no hard feelings, it was all about having fun. As the morning drew enjoyed my share of rights and lefts and had a good time with everyone else. Don't know if I'll make it out tomorrow morning but today was a hell of a nice one!

Entry 068 - More Small Stuff

No Pic Today

Small again today but more sets coming in that were semi-rideable if they didn't wall up too close to the shore. Definitely fun even if the rides were short. While the 9' Stewart did its job today I probably would have been better off with something 8' or slightly less given that some of the sets were walling up and it looked like the shortboarders were having a little more fun. Apparently the shark is still out there somewhere and everyone was talking about it. Didn't spot him/her this morning but kept my eye out so as not to get too close.

Entry 067 - Small Again

No Pic Today

Very small today. Headed out right at low tide and caught a couple of short rides. I was surprised at how many folks were out considering the conditions. But, then again, it was mostly longboarders with a few shortboarders on the inside. Even though it was small and mushy, I still had a good time and caught a nice right that had me doing a few small S-turns. Maybe head out tomorrow a little earlier to see if things get any better.
