Would of liked an earlier start Sat am to beat the wind and surf at an open beachie away from the masses and honestly probably would have been fine soaking up rays in my remote yet centrally urban backyard, but the fam was wanting a beach day. And with a some swell on the buoy sunshine on the cams and gloom in town, my motivation was just a little more than it would be for dealing with the bum bum fest at the coast.
The grumpiness set in as we hit the stop and go at the 26/6 junction and muttered to my wife…. been here long enough to know better and not fuking leave mid am or leave period. Back doored it through the ole Banks back roads and beat most of it or at least kept moving. Wind was on it in CB, so opted for Tex’s favorite spot again. Lots like Hug P were maxed with parking spilling on to the 101. Pulled into Poopsands and lucked into a front row spot with minimal finagling and thought hum maybe this was meant to be?
Found a window out there….. lot was probably filled with 40% or more hikers and beachers and lineup was mostly kooks. Paddled to a productive peak slightly under the radar. Some fun wedgey lefts on the push being held up by the side offshore wind. 5’8” quad fish fit the bill nicely. Got into a good rhythm and surfed around a few longboarders, one was actually proficient who I saw get some good ones while suiting. Eventually they splitskis and after 20 or 30 mostly alone a couple guys I know paddled out. Guess they saw me getting wave after wave….. tide filled and fun peak was pretty much killed. Surfed with my kidos for a bit and soaked up the sun, sand, and sights for the rest of the afternoon. Saw some funny shitt most of it is not coming to me right now, but the dude paddling around with white framed mirrored shades was pretty funny.
Stayed the night in a campground that said “No Vacancy” yet had vacant sites? Reservation systems have killed any spontaneity of just going camping this time of year, but whateves thanks for the complementary site Mr No Show. Gloom and south winds were up yesterday. Paddled out elsewhere hans solo, but despite thumpy sets sand bar was not really there and hasn’t seemed to have been for years now.
