Comments:

I wasn't alone in choosing this spot to surf the newly arrived swell at. It was a high tide morning and there were 30+ surfers at this tight lineup. A lot of very young groms packed tightly on the inside and outside were the heavies, the guys you see all the time like Branden Arroyan and some complete shredsters out there. Sets were very consistent, rolling thru all the time. Very fast takeoff, a race down the line. Further outside some sat, and sometimes these would connect thru, but most often shut down at the main peak. It was so crowded it was worth trying anyway.

First session after sitting out of the water for two days from a cold, I wasn't quite ready to get re-introduced to physical activity in this intense of a situation. It was a good nasal passage cleaner though.
