Ok, I think SBS should be up and running now. It was up and down from Thursday-Sunday for a little server swap.
The swell has been treating me pretty well. I made the trek down to Malibu for the weekend to stay in a friend of a friend of a friends house along Broad Beach. Friday around sunset Leo Carillo looked good, everywhere else looked messy. Saturday was mostly speant in pounding shorebreak along Broad Beach with the exception of a sunset session at Leo Carillo. There was a Japanese guy out there who had one of the best drop-knee bottom turns i've ever seen. Sunday the swell seemed smaller in the morning but started growing in the afternoon. County Line was a little overhead on the sets around 3:00. The problem was navigating the scores of Harleys and Rice Rockets. Closer to home, Rincon looked flat so I think every surfer in Santa Barbara was surfing south of it, judging by the crowds and cars. Even places like Mondo's were showcasing some head high waves. If you didn't stick on the outside there, the littoral drift would sweep you down practically to Tanks. Wetsand says we have even more in store.
