Shoulda brought more foam, but still reasonably fun.

OBSERVED: Baby dolphins. A birthday girl. And the usual suspects.

Surfed better than it looked, which isn't saying that much but blah, blah, blah spring.

looked friday morning, sucked. Saturday morning sucked. Got up this morning to go look and didn't have the energy. sigh...

KH -WH peelers in somewhat bumpy/windy conditions. Hecka-deca fun tho: lots of waves, not too crowded.

observed: loads of jellies on the beach

"I think I saw you pulling away from a spot check early this morning. Glad you found waves ..."

"Sorry I didn't say hi. I'm terrible recognizing surf people when they are dry. I took my ..."

As good as it can get out there today. If you arent in the line up you are in the wrong place right now. I would almost call it EPIC today on the linda mar scale.

"stoked for you."

"Your irony is almost profound....."

"all-time"

"SUPer!!"

The new swell and consistent, warm offshore winds made for a great morning session out at Lindamar. All the usual suspects were in the water, eager to catch a good ride in the unusually good conditions for this time of year. Go out and get it!

"Agreed. pretty sweet this AM"

"Nice. I was wondering if I'd spot your shots somewhere. :) Glad none of us ran you over. ..."

"Looks like a Kook-fest. Bow before your King, my subjects !!!"

"Pic #2: I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blooowwww your house down. Goodness, what a ..."

"Pic #1: Surfer with the yellow board looks like he's dropping in on a really steep wave. D ..."

Went out at 10 AM and foolishly tried to paddle out in front of the pumphouse at low tide as there appeared to be some decent rights, which proved to be an illusion. You know it's not gonna be to nice when there's only 2 other people out at lindy. Got my ass kicked by the incoming high and the OH clean up close out sets in the shallow sand and got sat on the bottom a couple times. After I made it out, I went south where there were some waves to be caught but it was mostly a disorganized shit hole. Caught one real nice left though.

Well I had fun. These bumps had a little more oomf than I expected based on the numbers (but heck, I'll take it). The wind was behaving and that flag (at half-mast, btw) was leaning west for the early part of the morning. Occasional glassy SH whoppers, but ridable whoppers came through. The mucked it all up around 9.

observed: whales, dolphins, and a funky chummy aroma

""Funky Chummy Aroma" = Manatee's next single? "

""Funky Chummy Aroma"= down wind from Tahko Belle?"

"Yup, kinda fun. Way better than it's been. Not going to win any awards, but certainly surf ..."

"they're giving out awards?"

""Best worst drop in" and "Most soulful soul arch" are my favorites. I'm a contender for ..."

Friday am was lots more fun than expected. I went out with a 9' longboard and had a blast at the Souse-end. Honestly, all the Lindy haters are just snobs. I saw some really fun rides and cool surfing. Yes, it was not shit-your-pants-and-die-@-OB-in-January, but well worth the trip for mere mortals.

Playa Del Taco offered up mostly clean close-outs with a couple of set waves that were open enough to get a couple of turns.

"I had a good session yesterday. But the mobs of people were uncontrollable "

"Looked better than it surfed but was still fun. "

"never again will i go here even though my friend bought me a late breakfast for joining hi ..."

"Polemic begins here. Please believe me when I say this im-white, your presence won't be ..."

"its sad b/c u make comments and don't even know where i was or who i am. it's quite funny ..."

7:30-9A Some of the best LM in a while. Plenty of Classic Closeouts, but quite a few that held up. Nice to see so many of youse. It was really fun. Get some.

"snagged a couple fair. snagged one that was as good as I've ever seen at Lindy. stöked & ..."

"Do you think it will be good tmrw morning? I went to sc this morning it was alright... ..."

"no it wont b good tmr. it's nvr good on sundays. "

"i hit sc as well. kept goin south when i saw LM lookin a little too close outy for me arou ..."

More of the same, though the wind came down which let these ungroomed ripples rough up the wave face a bit. Zippy, fun. Mostly KH-WH plenty of smiles in the water.

"i was out with a friend about then and yeah... smiley faces aplenty! "
