Entry 138 - Should Have Gone Out Yesterday


Small, mushy, and bumpy. I might have had the right board (8' Egg) but I just had very little luck. Good to get out, one okay right, and that was it. Bleh!

Entry 137 - Backwash Part 2


More backwash today but still just as glassy as yesterday. Some fun rides early and then as high tide set in, the sets got slow. Probably could have brought out the egg today given how some of the sets seemed to wall up or closeout at times but I still had fun on the Stewart. A nice left, a nice right, and then a short right that barreled me - might have been the backwash!

Entry 136 - Backwash!


Epic backwash today! Fun but kinda frustrating when your paddling for a nice one and it gets washed out back the backwash. Sometimes the waves going out were bigger than the ones coming in! Spectacular to watch in the lineup though. My eye caught a spectacular display on a paddle out - 5-10 ft wall of "glass"! Caught 3 memorable lefts along with some small stuff to start off a beautiful Memorial Day.

Thank you to all of the men and women who have made and continue to make our freedom possible.
