Comments:   It was so super small but Steve forced us to go out anyway and get wet. Walking towards a little peak I was seriously doubtfull we'd catch a single wave. Grumbles came from Unkle and I as we paddeled thru some high tide chop. However once we made it out to 3 trees we caught quite a few waves and broke-in the Walden at the Saturday Spot. Waves were a meager knee high typically, some rogue sets would suck up to waist high, giving Steve a "I told you so" look.

2nd sesson on the Walden and I finally got a nose-ride. Most certianly nose rides better then the Dan-O did. The "Magic Model" is most certainly one the most fun all around Longboards I've ever riden. Found some good rythm of fading towards the peak then cutting back towards a little section that sucked up and gave enough power to noseride. Repeat.
