Not Head High
| Location: | Campus Point |
| Weather: | Sunny and Warm |
| Conditions: | Clean with Paper Thin Lips |
| Swell: | 9.6ft @ 14s @ 310° |
| Surf: | Waist High |
| Rip Curl Bomb Wetsuit Life: | 27 Sessions in Replacement Suit. |
First session in three weeks that hasn't had any head high waves. Waves were more like thigh to waist high, but super clean and pitching out with some paper thin lips. Somehow scored Campus when it wasn't too crowded, the folks that were out there opting for the 2nd peak while Kyle and I mostly soloed the outer peak, which sometimes connected thru. It was a non-stop wave machine, with frequent 2-3 waves sets peeling in that were about waist high. Weather was warm and sunny, water is still warm, and a the waves would gently pitch out these super thin lips that we were trying to use for shade, without much success. Only time I got covered up was when a lip feelbly broke on my head.
With that many waves in such a short session, it was very nice to get in some turns, this session makes up for many of those bigger sessions in the last few weeks of screaming down the line to avoid getting clipped by head high lips. A session like this builds ability.
