Glad I did. Sets to overhead and a half were rumbling across the reefs when I pulled in, and the crowd was light. Everyone surfed out or too cold? In either case, it was great. After the last two sessions in which I had a little bit of a frustrating time grabbing the set waves, got more than my share. You get good and bad days in the water, and this was a good one.

For all the waves I got, though, I left the session with a bit of a sense of ennui. Either the wave was uncharacteristically mushy today or my tastes have evolved for hollower, more critical surf. May have to branch out to other spots for some variety this summer.

Did a dumb thing when leaving the shower today, rinsed off my board and then cracked the nose right on the corner of the stall, taking a little chip out, just enough to expose foam. No big deal, the board was already dry, I could just patch it later, having already surfed.

The drive back north revealed a different answer. Surf was up! Sets around head high were all over the points from C Street to Rincon, and me with this damn stupid ding in my board. What a bittersweet moment.
