A warm sunny day turned to pea soup fog towards the end. The walk out to sands was a little chilly, and the fog was getting too thick to check out Deveraux. The crowd at Sands was pretty small, actually small enough for me to surf at 1st peak for awhile. After getting ran into by one guy, and getting into a snake battle with another guy, I headed over to 2nd peak for my own sanity. It wasn't breaking as good, it would real in the sets but they wouldnt' hold up as nicely.

There was a kid out there I've seen for a long time, I think a Goleta local who surfs in contests, blond hair with a black wetsuit with red trim. He was shredding it out there, getting the best waves, and working them the best.

It's been about my 5th Sands session in a week, and this was the worst. Water had lots of smelly tar crud too.
