So many awesome parts about this article, it's hard to choose only one, but I'm going with this:

"The device was now packaged with a large disclaimer warning it would only repel sharks when the surfer was still in the water waiting for a wave.

The solitude of surfing in the rain. Marginal conditions at best, but mystical & empty, and I picked off a few at SFOB. #marginallystoked

That was interesting. DOH spring conditions @ SFOB. Is it still surfing if you get skunked? What if your only wave is an inner bar reform?

If I didn't know better, I'd say the #quake junked the surf at SFOB. Was like a shook bowl of water beneath all that impenetrable fog.

Surprisingly fun at SFOB. Clean, albeit a bit disorganized, HH-OH swell, light NNE winds. Solitary stoke under sunny blue skies.

SFOB wanted to be lined up w/glassy, SH-HH waves & offshores, but it was just off a bit, delivering inner bar beat downs instead. #ouch

Was hoping that a 5 day break from surfing would make spring go away. Nope. Junky, infrequent, & misshapen OH-1.5x surf at SFOB.

Glassy, slight offshores, & 6'@15s swell normally elicits woohoo's, but something was off. Too right place/right time. Way outer bar would throw on occasion, crumble at other times. Infrequent, but just frequent enough to keep me, for much of the session, smack dab inbetween it & in the inner bar. Some beautiful waves seemed to break off in the distance, both S & N of me, but it rarely lined up. Caught a few, still stoked, but a bit of a frustrating day. I'm guessing someone out there is really stoked b/c they successfully lined a bunch up.

poor surfing conditions at Tahoe - Northstar

sticker — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 18:32:52 -0800

$101 tickets, literally zero coverage where they aren't making snow, and icy conditions where they are. Pretty terrible conditions, but at least the runs were uncrowded. The Village was another matter. Jammed with people not skiing.

On a side note, not sure what they've spent $30M on at Northstar... Same crappy beads & candle stores in the Village. They dropped another lift on the Backside, but that just means they tore out some great tree skiing. Oh, and they added another bar/restaurant mid-mountain. Generic Asian/Mexican/American fare.

Sorry I sound grumpy, but $101 will do that to you.

Flailed around on the fish in overhead conditions. Classic kook move of misjudging wave size led me to bring the fish thinking I'd encounter shoulder-head high conditions. Despite some morning sickness warble, there were some beautiful overhead-1.5x peeling & reeling waves rolling through. Unfortunately, my fish would get me in real late, leaving me little more than a heavy drop & explosion of white. Still, really fun under cloudy, cold skies. Stoked.
