One of the shortest Rincon sessions I've ever had; the
only one I can think of that was shorter was when I
lost my leash on my first wave and went in, lacking a
replacement. This was a hell of a lot more fun, though.
Why? I was one of 20 stoked people surfing for the Isla
Vista Chapter of Surfrider in the 3rd Rincon Clean Water
Classic fundraising event. And the waves were great!
Unfortunately, my best four rides to the freeway were
non-scoring rides gotten while I was without a jersey,
and the only wave I got when I did have it on was a closeout.
My first time in the water with judges looking on. A rather
strange feeling.
