Comments:

Further proof that some of my funest sessions are when I least expect it. For example today, no Monster Swell predicted and no hype out there, not much energy showing up on the buoys. No expecations of waves whatsoever, and I barely convince myself to suit up. Glad I did because it was tons of fun. Just 3 or 4 high school kids out there and me. Mostly small waves but rideable on the Fish and sometimes a waist high set would come in for some shrap shrap. Sunset was great, which is the first sunset in many days of fog and drizzle. Really can improve ones mood seeing that great glowing orb. Some of the kids were getting some sick micro pits that they were compressing their adolescent little frames into. I actually didn't suck and managed to pull off a couple of little tuck ins and some mad turns.

Bird Island destruction has come along at a good pace, still a lot of activity out there but the main structures apeared to be down. No dolphins or seals out there. Pretty quite day in small town america.
