Comments:
Headed down the Mesa. I to surf, and K-dog to study. By the time we got there it was pretty blown out and messy. The waves were breaking on the beach and kids were getting slotted. After some lunch and a few pictures I headed out there. I stayed out for two hours but had a horrible session. Most everything closed out and/or broke in 1 foot of water. The local groms were out in full effect, most in a bad mood since SBHS got trounced by DP the night before. I felt the effect of their angst by getting burned on most any wave they felt fit too. Glad I had a fun session this morning, cause this was a loser.
