| Comments: | I was going to go to Rincon. But i absently drove by the offramp. As I looked at the cove from the 101 there were already 8 guys in the water, and it was only 5:52a.m. So i didn't turn around. I ended up at a reef/point that saw some "bombs" come thru about every 15 minutes or so. The lulls were long, and the crowds started to build. At first it was mostly short-boarders and there was order in the lineup, but then it became hard to compete with the longboarders. I guess I wish i was longboarding cause my wave count woulda been higher. Got a handlful of waves in the 2 hours session and was still trying to get the new board wired in bigger stuff. Must have eaten it 3-4 times just trying to cutback. When I left there must have been 20-25 people in the water. Dolphins visited us. On the drive up Rincon looked fun but it was tough to spot the water between the bodies. | ||
