Entry 279 - Saturday

Another beautiful Saturday morning session at El Porto. End of September and the water is still warm although the discharge from the Hyperion treatment plant is still slightly visible. No health warnings at El Porto - most of it was way up the beach. Glad Porto is a little protected from the LAX area. Small surf today with a few good rights.

SurfExplorer has been down - WTF!

Entry 278 - Shoulder

Nope, not that kind of shoulder. I don't know what I did but I strained my shoulder today. Didn't notice it until mid-afternoon and I'm not even sure it was from surfing. I can't believe I'm typing this but I'm kinda glad I'm heading on business travel this week. It'll give my shoulder time to heal up for next weekend. Session overall was good though there was a lot of debris still in the lineup from the storms on Tuesday.

Entry 277 - Warm Dawn Patrol

Wake up to a warm dawn patrol on a Saturday. Needed to feel a nice cool breeze after yesterday and the surf was rewarding with many rights that had good shape. Almost barreled one but still no luck. Gotta keep at it!
