Comments:

Was disappointed to see the wind on it as I arrived at noon. Almost didn't go out, but a few sets convinced me. Did not get any waves to myself, got snaked once by some ugly fat guy in corduroy shorts on a longboard w/ no leash. He growled something at me after snaking me then falling; all I did was tell him I tried to grab his board so he wouldn't have to swim in...
