- Well, I had a killer session two weeks ago Saturday, when the whole north
- coast was getting slammed with some pretty huge swell. There was a large
- crowd out at Mavricks, so my brother and I headed south. We ended up north
- of Santa Cruz, at a name-spot known for focusing large surf. All rights.
- We stayed out 3 1/2 hours and had an extremely fun session. It pretty much
- flattened out shortly after that, and the swell has been pretty small in most
- places for most of the last two weeks.
- Friday we saw a little bit of south swell show up here, and between a bunch
- of stuff I ended up having to do, I still managed a "quickie" 45min session.
- I went out at the reefs behind my house. It was fairly small, though there
- were set waves to just overhead (about 6 foot faces). No one else was out, and
- no one around (partially why it was a quickie!). Since the reefs are pretty
- secluded, if you get in any kind of trouble (hurt, maimed, eaten, etc. you
- know, the usual stuff =:-0) basically no one will find out for awhile. It was
- worth the risk, though, as I scored 6 to 8 really decent rides before coming
- in. I had just glassed the trailing fin back on my 6'4" Bonzer, and really
- needed to give it a try. The thing works pretty good!
- Surfed the reefs again today, and the swell was up, but it was bumpier than
- when I pulled a loner sess on Friday. There were a couple of guys out, and
- we all caught our share. Faces were from 5 to 8 feet, and it looks like it
- may be building...
- Have to work early tommorow, so I guess no surf for me till Wednesday.
- If any other N. Cal net surfers want to get together for an Ocean Beach, or
- possibly Half Moon Bay net surf sometime during the week, let me know, as I'm
- usually up for it. I don't surf on Sunday, and pretty much hate the crowds
- which tend to appear on Saturday, but if a couple of you want to go on a
- Saturday, maybe that would work too. This week should be good, as I hear
- we're in for a north swell in the next couple o' days. Later...
