Solid overhead pushing 2x. It takes a special snowflake to even try today. Being my usual self, I of course, was dismissive. Got out the 6'4 gringo thinking eh, no biggie.OK, biggie. Three mouseketeers put in where the crow flies, and after that it was a 6 bar full signal duck a l'orange slogfest. A few times we gave each other 'the look'. You know as you paddle out, and a huge folding meaty beast roars on the inside, and it makes you pause, and 'look' at your paddle partner in disbelief and dismay for confirmation. I even gave the roundup signal, but you know, stubborn me...never gives up a fight even if up against the ropes. So I pushed. And I got out. The next question is what now....I made it out, so now I have to actually DO something. I'm watching HUGE bombs just spray to the South. I see H20 in the pit to the South and I'm like 'wow, I'm glad I'm not there'. So my strategy to get back in was to get a tweener. Not a huge outlier bomb, but something imbetween in the pit. I move in and take the risk. Next thing I know I see a tweener building. Go time. Stand, yet I feel air...shit...then...thankfully board again...tha tha tha tha tha tha tha F YEAHHHHH!

Double session today. Definitely ass cold this morning. Hood, gloves, the whole shebang. Very wonky and hard to line up. But there was some size and power moving out there. Got one HH+ right and had to go to work. Grabbed a sunset session and paid a heavy entry fee. Took 30 mins to get out. Same story as this morning. Wonky and crossed up but some shapely HH+ shoulders rolling through. Again with one nice right and called it good. Better than poor because I made it out and caught a couple.

"where i was at toward sunset wasn't too bad to get out but was a bit treacherous on the in ..."

"i saw someone take a pretty sick shortcut to the lineup today. they didn't even use their ..."

"Wavejet?"

"ha, didn't think about that one. i think they just knew the right place to be. "

Looked alot better than it was. Kinda a mix between close outs and mushy shoulders. Alot of current sucking me south and ass cold this morning. I got two and called it a day.

Fun morning out there. No wind, mostly small waves with larger sets. Lots of clean lefts, some rights. I was out from 8-9:30; the waves seemed a lot mushier by the end.

"It was fun out there. It depended on the spot though. Pretty easy to be swept south away ..."

"Thank god you called all your friends to hurry up and pack the line up."

Size, check. Shape, not checked. Anyone else see the tow surfer? Kind of funny towing into DOH crap. Looked like he was the only one catching anything though...

"I wouldn't put it in the poor category. I had a half dozen 2-3' OH waves this a.m. and it ..."

"I wish I was surfing your section, I got nothing but confused waves. I love the plovers ..."

Punxsutawney Phil is full of sh*t--Spring has arrived at SFOB. 1.5x but textured, unorganized, & misshapen. Fun w/low standards, though.

"F*ck. I just punched myself in the nuts to distract myself from the searing pain caused by ..."

"Nuthin to do with the report, I need to get my head in the game. It, as well as the rest o ..."

"I too just punched myself in the nuts."

"Punched nuts +1"

"Is this the screengrab everyone is looking for."

10am was one hell of a paddle out at play land.Definitely brought the wrong board. way too thick. still a good paddle, Lots of force behind them waves today. got sucked back and went over on another. looks like it mellowed out again just 2hrs later. had fun.

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.

"Nah....you got it right... Inner bar really was the only game in town this morning. The ..."

"Same here. I was not the liner-upper."

"Inner bar treated me right. Was better than it looked from shore. But it is all mind fra ..."

":-)"

"Bouys looked good, conditions were good, actual surf was not. But it was the kind of day ..."

In hindsight, a #longboard wasn't the right choice. Spent most of my morning #surf paddling desperately away from big waves at #SFOB

"I got gentle log-rides at the small end from 8-9:30."

"Woohoo! Damn fun morning on the fish. Some peaks were delivering beautiful headhigh to a l ..."

"Sticker, you only bring your fish out under two conditions: 1) It's small 2) Cockpit e ..."

"nothing loggable where i was. hello 19 seconds. "

"Personally anti-twitter. Who needs constant feeds of b.s.? But then I'm an old fart. ..."

Racy and a little closed out. The waves couldn't decide whether they wanted to break on the inner bar or outer bar. A little warbly and disorganized. Chest high with occasional head high sets. Punch and power behind the waves, but backing off sometimes on the outside and waiting to break on the inside. Very hard to get a good wave due to the inconsistency. Fair -

"It was a great morning with long period goodness on tap. I had about 8-10 waves in 1.5 hou ..."

"I got 8 waves in an hour and a half. I would say that's pretty darn low considering I was ..."

"I'm not a counter...but I will say this...3'@16 produced the gamut of results this morning ..."

"hey piss, complete guess, but I think I saw taht wave. Was it around 8:15 somewhere near t ..."

"I'm 100% sure I saw our own @lee absolutely *slaughter* a wave from the outer bar damn nea ..."

OB takes a day off from beating the crap out of everyone! Mellow and small. Good day to dust off the log. Probably not worth it anymore with the high tide.

"Still worth it."

"I took out the log this morning and it was a blast"

"Fun little peak on the north side this evening. Left & rights and a easy going crowd. Suns ..."

"Definitely a mellow and fun afternoon at OB. December spoiled us but I will take today... ..."

"Certainly worth the paddle today. Small and breaking mostly on the inside. But I got my sh ..."

fun surf out there this morning around low tide, semi clean HH+ working nicely on the outside bars where i was. things were a little disorganized with the short period but no complaints here, lot of wedgy ones to fill the stoke.

"Glad you had a good one. I didn't see many good rides where I was, wonky with the short pe ..."
