| Comments: |
Pumping sets going wide of the rock and closing everyone
out as I watched and stretched out on the beach; saw at
least ten waves go unridden. Plenty of room for me!
Most of that ended as I paddled out; some long lulls set in and the crowd slowly began to fill in. Had some adapting to do as I was back on the 6'6" and totally unable to catch waves on the outer reefs that were easy pickings yesterday. Other than that, the wave was in fine form, fun bowly takeoffs and a super stoked, talkative crowd. Didn't even get much hassling when someone's leash accidentally caught my arm and dragged me under water as they were attempting to negotiate a takeoff. |
