Comments: Session with Rio and Greggory at Campus Point. Greggory skates down from his cozy office on his skateboard that is missing an entire bearing. The siezing of this wheel, and his adjustment to it, ending up giving him a sizeable advantage in the kelp strewn lineup, with all of it's over the bars hiccups that kelp gives.
Greggory advertised the conditions as chest high from his mid-morning check. It didn't look it, campus point looked pretty small and a few out so we went to the empty Poles on our longboards. Rio was awarded MVP of the session with his both-arms-out balancing act, his late drop ins, his late standups and his large wave count. For a guy who hand't surfed in 6 months till Monday, he was owning it.
Waves were small, but had some speed. Kelp was a mess, made taking off tricky and would often ruin any chance of making a tough section. Waves seemed to pick up towards the end, perhaps building for the awesome waves on Friday.
