The beach looked a bit weird and jumbled on the ultra high tide, so I headed south with the intention of surfing somewhere far away from the city. However, today turned out to be one of the rare ones where Linda actually holds up with a bit of size, and I opted to save the gas. Paid the price pulling into a closeout on the Canada end. I popped out the back and came up to this. Bummer days. Adios, favorite all around stick. There were lots of fun ones preceding. If anyone's got a thruster or quad in the 6'1 - 6'3 range that's in decent shape, let me know as I'm now in the market.

Parko was out there having his way with it. Fun to watch him surf in person.

Headed down yonder early this a.m. to escape the wind and chase the current southerly pulse. Found some glassy, well-formed inconsistent south/windswell combo peaks running up into around the shoulder high range on sets. The lulls were plentiful and there was a crowd on it (most likely due to a surf drought-ridden summer), but when the waves showed, it was absolutely worth the while. Lots of dolphins and seals lurking too. After the past week or so of garbage up here, I'll gladly take it.
