Comments:   We had to drive to UCSB to get greg's board from his office. We checked Campus Point at about 6:20 and it didn't look good. Perhaps we didn't give it enough time and it was just a long lull. We drove north along the Gaviota Coast. The tide looked too high and it didn't look promising. Dis-heartened we were prepared to drive down to Ventura when we thought we'd just check Bedwetter's for the helluva it. It looked OK and only 3 guys out so we went for it.
There were some really fun sets where you could ride all the way to the beach. Some fun sections but also the typical Led Fade was in effect. The crowd was mellow, so although Rincon was much bigger, I didn't really care.
