<---- New Report from Wednesday.

So as seen in the report I bought a 1960's Velzy Pig that I'm going to try to get wired. If this works out I'll sell the Dan-O and be back to a 2 surfboard man. It's a dilemma though, can I really make a classic board be my sole longboard? Will I learn how to handle it without a leash without killing anyone in the lineup? Can I switch between my 2000's shortboard and my 1960's longboard quickly without having to re-learn the board every time? We'll see.

A bad surfing week for me. Missed the waves on Monday, looked flat on Tuesday, floundered trying to get the Pig wired on Wednesday, looked flat on Thursday, but maybe today I'll get something and redeem it all.

It seems we always have a swell during thanksgiving. Or maybe it's because I always spend thanksgiving in Ventura and Ventura always has waves. Remember the thanksgiving swell from last year? Both Wednesday and Thursday were some of the best waves I caught all winter. Wednesday was the "100 foot wednesday" at Mavericks. Well it seems Wetsand has a history of over-pumping swells up....but they are saying we'll have swell over turkey day. If you have to fly to Iowa to visit relatives, I'm sorry.
