Was reminded on how much we need to respect the water even when we are goofing around the other day... As normal for me, went out to get some a little too deep and found my self in a place I did not want to be and a very big board seemed very small... Took the beating then stayed where I could line up with out having to fight a fight I could not win... Got some good corners that faned out long... Then had to go for the "one more wave" and met up with the tide change whirl pool thing that came over the bar and had to paddle for my life once again for like 20 mins... But things do seem to be setting up for a good time around here...

got back in the game today after two weeks on the bench, pretty rusty but managed to put up a few points.
No wind, minus tide dawn patrol with a handful of others. Disorganized funky confused swell that looked to be shaping up with a filling tide as I pulled myself away. Hard to drive back when it was 60 and sunny and only getting better but at least I arrived to my daughter having taken a big dump on the floor of my home office...

Rincon, Swami's, Huntington Cliffs, and San O all in the past five days. It's amazing down here.

Nice pre work session on the pushing tide with EV this morning. More fun than it looked from the lot with no wind and clean sets. Nice to paddle around on my shortboard and get a few fun ones.

EV decided her thruster wasn't fast enough to link the sections so she air dropped on to the center fin and busted it out - instant twin fin!

Plenty of wind where I was...
Still, some fun ones...
Solid, and mostly blowing...
In the right direction.

Dropped Child off early. Loaded up on coffee and Dub, found a peak to myself, surfed for a good few hours, made some satisfactory turns, picked up child and came home. I love surfing.
