Back to back high tide sesssion at the Rincon Indicator, it's as if I plan on going at high tide for some reason, but no it's merely a good time. Had a much better session than yesterday although at first it seemed smaller and lullier. Had some of my longest non-longboarding waves of the year at Rincon, catching a few from the shifted left peak at the indicator, down to above the rivermouth. Not a long rincon wave by any standards, but long considering the conditions.

A haved headed guy got a sweet cover-up. There were not many cover ups to be had today, but he dropped in, and most certainly willed the wave to pitch out over his head. He disapeared as the thing swallowed him and I hooted. I made sure to give him props on my paddle out, it's always good to have 2nd hand confirmation that you really did get pitted as deep as you thought. Towards the end it got less and less crowded and more and more consistent. I was so tired, I was passing up lots of waves waiting for a set wave that that looked workable.
