The cold Sunday morning made it hard to be very dedicated. It was worth it though cause EV and I found a spot we've only found to work once before. HH and glassy for a couple of hours. The waves were thick wedges that hit a bar pretty hard. Then it started hailing with a strong onshore wind in a matter of five minutes. Finally, we enjoyed a snowy four hour ride back.
Speaking of which. To all the folks out there that believe that just since you paid upwards of 40k on your vehicle; you are not necessarily qualified to drive in the snow.
Some pointers- Pull over if and let others pass that are clearly confident in going faster. The thirty seconds isn't a big loss.
-Don't ride others like you could stop in 1.13 seconds
-If you must go so fast, have the courtesy to put your vehicle in the ditch when you slide out so as not to effect traffic

I've seen soooo many rollover accidents on coastal passes in the winter...
It's the one part of the valley to coast trek that I most dread.

You forgot:
- Don't go to the beach if the roads are icy.
And:
- Hell, you might as well play it safe. Don't ever go to the beach.

surfed a lonesome beach break today with nary a soul around. crystal clear water, mushy waist high rights and the occasional shoulder high runner. maybe a left or two, but just a drop. now, let's get these conditions with a little more size!!!
60% of the time, it works every time.

Remembered that I like surfing...
Even when it's so so...
Like today...
Found a couple corners...
Couldn't feel my fingers...
Changing out of my suit.
