Great day to be in the water. The rights at the Channel were fun til the tide dropped. Super crowded on the lefts.

"Beautiful photo, thanks."

head + fun very packed but better than taking freight trains on the head at my normal spot

chest high, mostly closing out after about 20 yards, ten thousand people. blech. others may disagree, and maybe it'll get better with more swell (sets definitely getting bigger) and tide. but by then there will be twenty thousand people.

"I suspect the irony police will always visit the surf report that talks of crowds."

Last session of 2011, and what a day! Glassy, and slight off shore breezes with 4' to 6' walls all over the place. Long, long rides where I was, and plenty to go around with the crowd that showed up. But damn it's cold getting into that wetsuit. Not really as cold as when I left town this morning though with frost all over everything. The Bo' was pumping, and hopefully is a sign of more to come.

Now this old body will settle in at home for the evening with some home made turkey soup, followed by some Geritol and pain pills ; - )

"I must have caught it at the wrong time, because when I surfed it was waist high and shre ..."

Stinson gets no love. 75% close outs, but also got barreled. fun waves and nobody ever gives it a chance. Wish more people were out so I don't feel like shark bait.

"Stinson gets so little love that @wrybread didn't even bother with a comment about taping ..."

Did I say soft? Yesterday I posted a report describing the conditions at OB as "soft"; today that word was redefined for me at Bolinas. On the plus, the sun was out, conditions were uber-clean, and there seemed to be plenty to go around.

"Wrybread why don't you delete your account?"

"There's a spot to surf in bolinas? Awesome... Im on it bros!"

Did the post dawn patrol today at the Bo' and what fun we had in the water. Not to crowded, and plenty of knee slappers, with some occasional waist high sets that peeled all the way into either the channel or the reform depending on where you were at. Water's still not too cold, but damn, getting out of that wet wetsuit and taking a nice warm rinse is priceless.

Still plenty of those damn cruiser SUP's trying to take all the waves on the right, but sometimes you just need to snake them out of the way on the inside. Ha Ha!

Bolinas was very nice this morning. Median age in the water was 60, median vibe was "stoked". Lots of consistent waist-high sets coming through and a few old guys who really knew how to use them. Love that early Sunday crowd. I think I made a new friend or two.

waist to occasional chest high. i say fair plus because when i got there.....well, the place was completely empty. perfect. by the time i paddled out there were three of us for the next 2.5 hours. fun lefts that eventually got shut down by tide pulling out. beautiful day.

First 'weekend' out in a while, and what a different crowd, but still pretty mellow for the Bo'. WH to CH on the right with plenty of waves and long reforms on the inside making for some fast rides. Parking always an issue here, but pulled up just in time as someone was leaving. And Brrrr!

Tracey, there's always Women surfing here at any given time. Nobody gives them any "fucking" shit either. Although there are many a Male who still have this elitist attitude that Women should not be surfing, of which I say: What a pathetic attitude to have, no wonder you're alone, and will stay that way for a very long time.

The conditions 'were' sunny with slight off shore breezes holding up some fast knee high lefts. Water and air temps made for a most enjoyable day at the Bo'. Not crowded, and the vibe as usual was friendly in the water. I sure do like this little village tucked away as it is.

Couldn't figure out what his guy was trying to accomplish. A new side slip take off? BTW, this photo was not taken today, left the camera home?

"Thanks for the photo. I've been struggling with my bottom turns and this really helps. M ..."

One word, Junk! But nice to be back at the beach. Tide was moving out so fast on the left that it was destroying what waves were coming through, even though they were knee high and crumbling. To the right was flat as an old girl friend of mine in high school, but her personality made up for it as did a day at the Bo'.

Water's still a bit warmish, 55, so no need yet for the gloves and hoods.

Dribbly, crappy, knee-high, semi-blown. In addition to the 20 or so dudes you see killing it in this picture, another 20 were running down Brighton Avenue to get there.

I'm glad I wasn't there to surf today.
