| Comments: |
More slop, looked worse than yesterday but figured I could
use the exercise. Very light crowd early, with the peaks
breaking things up, making waves pretty easy to come by but
also shortening up the rides quite a bit.
Got a wave from the top of the cove all the way to the call box -- first call box ride of the year for me -- and that had me amped to run back out, turning what would have been a 1-hour workout into a pretty fun 2-hour session. The back half of the session didn't go quite as well, with dropping swell and a building crowd not making up for the slowly fading winds. Look for a repeat of the past few days to roll through again on Wednesday. |
