Got a few fun ones in the middle around 2:30. Waist to chest high on the sets, not too crowded, super-easy paddle with dry hair. Overall a good way to ease back into cold water surfing. T'was fun

7-8 a. Windswelly. Marginal. Some occasional goodness. Just couldn't get too excited about it. Wish I'd checked OB. Probably better now.

"OB is looking pretty good. As usual some spots were looking better than others. Fair amoun ..."

"Some kinda wiseguy, eh? Well we know what to *do* with wiseguys, don't we boys? Myeah."

"Yes, there's an Ocean Beach or "OB" in San Diego. Great surf spot. Most people I know ..."

"OB."

"Yeah, we pretty much own the term. Connecticut: http://www.ocean-beach-park.com/ Flor ..."

A weird report for a weird session:
Really fun at first, with the high tide allowing for some long runs, but then the new swell appeared like an angry ex-girlfriend and...carnage. Just carnage. But then it seemed to back off again and bunnies frolicked in the meadow. (I wouldn't trust those bunnies. I think they're packing switchblades.) So, the after veering wildly between "fair-plus" and "fair-minus," let's just call it "fair." But weird.

"life's too short to surf lindamar"

"Hasbro? While I tend to agree with the "crapbar" comment made a month or so ago, I never ..."

"file under: life's too short to drink bad wine, but too long not to drink at all... "

"For when you are to lazy to paddle out to the outer bar, you go to lindy!"

"I'm surprised Broseidon's getting negative votes...I'm no Linda Mar-hater, I surf there a ..."

Can you say "uluwatu?". Peeling left and rights from boat docks to sharp park. Lots of workable corners. Why go to Bali when we have our own slice of heaven here? Seriously.

"Very, very funny. But not really. "

"Seriously. Not."

I came, I saw, I turned around and left. But it might get better with some tide. Sigh.

hopped on the bike and headed south cause i took one look at ob and realized there was no way i was gonna make it out.

"How's the ride back on that get up? Do you hop the bus to make it to the top? That seems l ..."

It's cleaned up quite a bit from earlier in the week. There is swell, it's not junky, but expect closeouts and long lulls. Swinging wildly from Knee-Chest high to Chest-Head. Workable with patience.

Sun's out. Light winds. Froggies singing over in the marsh.

""I was rocking newborn-deer style pretty hard" I almost spit my cereal on my work keyboard ..."

"wow, once you get up on the 7'4 consistently, pretty much any shortboard is going to be fa ..."

"Ha, Zero! Thanks. I got one nice long wave which I spent wiggling all over the face li ..."

"I don't know you Tracy but reading your posts makes me smile as I seem to be tracking just ..."

"Pretty board! Glad you're stoked. "

Really good time out there this morning. I looked at the wind projections, and the swell size/period and decided a trip down S would be best. Sometimes I get it wrong and sometimes I get it right. I got it right. LM was lined up, giving nice long rides, with not too many people on the peaks. Norteno side offered very nice head high rollers. Tucked into a few dead ends, but the size was saying it would be of no major consequence, so I stayed in till it got dark a few times. Went back down Southside for a second helping with a few friends, so it was a one and a half session morning :) Dunno why everyone was congregating there, but then again, I was alone Northside and that's just fine says selfish me. Good times.
Polished it off with a free coffee from Sbux because the barista took pity on me because the lady before me was executing a laundry list (no less than 10 fru-fru drinks). So I took my two bucks I saved and went next door to have the bear claw of surfer's revenge. Tore into that mothertrucker like a bear on a mission, digging into the hive....impervious and unabated by the swarm of stings. Fair+, standing on two hind legs, sniffing the wind.

"Mexico was offing some smiling faces with white feathers on their shoulders when I was dow ..."

"my god - i would NEVER go surfing on the first day of rainfall after such a long dry spel ..."

"fun stuff indeed! deadly indeed! Just say no. Surprisingly crowded for a rainy windy d ..."

"Didn't have the luxury of going home to shower off the runoff cooties before work. Shot of ..."

"@piss - next time try the bavarian cream filled maple or chocolate bar at that donut shop. ..."

Small bumps coming in. The ones that don't just crumble and die all seem to jack up and immediately collapse. Face-time for the lucky.

Beautiful morning though. Breeze is offshore.

"I'm going to pretend each and every one of those closeouts was a barrel. Ahh, that's bette ..."

"optimism+"

Good morning. My name is Cazart and I'll be your surfer today. I'd like to tell you about our specials...on this end of the table we have Jumbo Family Size Closeouts, and on the other end, the more petite Gutless, Dribbling Closeouts. All served freezing cold.
Can I get you something from the bar?

"Service was Poor indeed, but I did get some fair minus appetizers inside that were sorta t ..."

"metaphor abuse! ;)"

Fun stuff out there this morning. WH-CH peelers, occasionally walled-up. Not a lot of wind, but the ocean was a little bumpy. Lots of smiling faces.

observed: MOON!

"That was super-fun. Great to see everyone. Stoked!"

"Happy I didn't completely burn a day on the little board. Chilly, moonfilled, and fun enuf ..."

"@tracey, how'd the new fin go?"

"That's no moon..."

"New fin is okay enough. I didn't overshoot the scrappy little waves I got like I normally ..."

got in at 8 got out at 3 u do the math. to stay in that long at lindy explains a lot. caught a lot on my shortie but some SUPS kept paddling into the set waves for about an hr until they got caught inside and washed ashore near Vancouver... Then the fun resumed.... YAY! good times good times

"That will equal 13 seconds of shoulder time"

"Was there with the big high tide. Made it a little weird for the shorter board, but pretty ..."

"got in around 3 after bicycling from the good ole sunset. leg cramped up as hard as a rock ..."

"@Shredlife, pretty sure I saw you biking up skyline, you had just passed some people who w ..."

"this may be redundant...by why would you ride a bike from OB to linda mar to surf??????"

total basura.
