Drove northward past Sunset, Topanga, and the Bu this morning before settling on the familiar for some small waves. The 6'6" felt squirrelly and unstable under my feet after just two sessions on my new 9'2". On a positive note, I felt a lot more aware of the board and where I could place it, and I was actually in shape to paddle.
Bumped into "Zuma" after a couple of decent rides. The crowd filled in by 11:00 am along with the tide, and the sets faded, resulting in a pretty absurd overcrowded situation.
No swell apparent from Douglass yet. I have not been tracking it with much enthusiasm, but I heard it banked west, which is bad for So. Cal. despite its presence in our swell window.
