| Comments: |
Mid-day break from a work-at-home afternoon, a quick
grab of some fun Indicator and Rivermouth rides where
the low tide and combined swells were making for some
fun, fast and hollow peaks. Thought I had the perfect
barrel ride set up on one wave. It started to bottom
out and I stuck with it, looking for the coverup and then
it collapsed and mushed. Nothing like pulling into a barrel
only to have it not be there.
Overall though it was a pretty fun session, with the
pitchiness of it making up for the sometimes small size
and relative shortness of the rides. A thinning crowd helped
to get a bunch of waves in a short period of time, good when
on a tight schedule. Unusual for here. I like it like that.
