Santa Barbara Area Surf Reports

Comments: Met Wild Bill down at the Pier while K-dog went running. Weather was awesome. We headed out to the northside, he on his Walden and I on K-dog's funboard. Giant crowd in tight so we were at the next "peak" up. Traded waves for sometime at this peak until the crowd started spreading out. Many closeouts but also some long rides. The fun board is fun. Can catch a lot of waves and yet still come up and hit the lip. That thing has so much Deveruax tar on it though it needs a good cleaning. I was sporting the new Dakine Interval Westsuit backpack which Wild Bill got for me. Thing is rad, look for a review coming up soon.

Wild Bill headed in and I paddled over to the pier to battle it out for another half hour of waves. Got some fun lefts on the sets. Soon a guy with a mission to catch every wave on earth came out and managed to always do so. I wasn't feeling like jockeying around for 2 foot closeouts so I headed in.

Later that day Wild Bill, K-dog, Haggarty and myself went out for one of our famous boooogieboard sessions. I was once again on the BZ DiamondRail with flourescent green bottom and flourescent pink rails. Haggarty decided he wants a floursecent green wetsuit, they are coming back. The wind was blowing strong offshore, creating waves that held up and pitched out. A half hour of extreme boogieboarding and this crew was ready for some Mojitos and Pork.
