I've been watching a hollow, ledgey, sketchy wave develop down the beach since last fall. It doesn't break that much but when it does it's pretty tempting. It's always been a hair too big to go take a look so I always check other spots that are breaking at that size. This morning nothing was really doing that well, even the beach down the way, but that sketchy ass wave was doing its thing. It was incredibly bumpy with a little wind but the snow and wind were forecast to chill out so I went back to work and kept an eye on the ocean. Almost right to forecast everything backed off at 3 so saved my files and shut down the computer. When I got to the beach it shaped up a little but still had plenty of sketch in it. The paddle out was like Haleiwa bouncing off every bit of chop but the current was blasting so got out in no time. Never surfed this spot so just hung out where I thought it was going to break and when the next set came through got a little puckered. Full-on sucked out slab with some dry reef on the side. It was a solid 6 foot and when the next set came through I put my head down and airdropped into the thing. Warbles, bumps, it has it all, and freaked when I saw the bottom. Scary shallow. Made the next few sections and pulled outta that sucker. The current was fully ripping and sucked me back out to the top with only a little paddle. Sets were building and after riding that one, decided to call it good and revisit it when it's a little more chill. One and done! 
ystdy good small swell. waited on the tide which worked and paddled out w/only

speaking of skulls, it was bound to happen surfing the same spot four days in a row with a mix of skill levels, some young guy on a longboard with a leash somehow blew takeoff as I was paddling over the shoulder and his board shot up sideways straight at my head, i twisted and threw up my right arm to block it and the board bounced off my elbow and grazed my head, the most painful part was the sudden movement to block tweaked my jacked up shoulder, I yelled at the guy and later almost ran him over but told him don't worry I won't hit you , one of us knows what we are doing. He apologized multiple times and I told him he was lucky he hit a friendly old grumpy local. lolSpeaking of skulls... (merging with the CL thread)

may I simply note the first part of this sentence makes the qualifier of “somehow” rather unnecessary?

Beautiful conditions this morning. No swell. Maybe take the glider out for a paddle this afternoon
Edit: mini-glided this afternoon. 10 lil knee-high runners. Nice to get wet and wash off the week.

small and cold with a couple on the right bar before the tide drained and ruined it. Solid but wiggles on the Fluse. Cold at dawn then warmed up nicely. Solid talent on the boardwalk after I got out. If I had JKB with me or a bolt tattoo I would have scored for sure.
Found a longboard on the sidewalk for the taking. Covered in green mold that had to sand to remove. Second wave on it , I had to engage the hind leg and apply ample squat rippage power.
And thus the result.
Need to up my squatting reps to get the box out next time

Sunny warm glassy and small. Didn’t go to the name spot where I took a board upside the head yesterday, instead went down the street and had a great time on the LB with a couple people. Know I am gonna paddle tomorrow. Paddle out for my old friend and classmate “Lips” tomorrow. If you surfed Abs or IB you probably surfed with him, a true classic who will be missed.
Girlfriend and I found a fun beachbreak peak for the last hour of daylight yesterday. Some rights, a few lefts, a head dip, nice sunset.
Short period windswell, about 2-4'. Pretty mushy although a few sections here and there stood up. Almost made it hair dry until set came in right as I was almost out the back. Oh well. There was a nice sandbar right but current was relentless at pulling you off of it. Expended a lot of energy staying on it but I did get a couple that linked all the way to the inside. A couple I kooked but otherwise decent sesh; felt a little unlimber overall. Long paddles back out, was pretty spent after about 2 hours. Doesn't help that my thicker 6'6" gets gradually more waterlogged as it goes. Splurged and picked up a pair of XCel drylock 5mm booties. Toasty but a little stiff in the ankles. Hoping that gets better as they get broken in.
A few seals cruising through the lineup and chowing down on fish. Did not complain when was joined by a few other people although was pretty spread out. I sat out the back, waiting for the bigger ones, regretting a couple I let go through but they didn't go to waste so that was cool. Fun day and beautiful out on top of it.

paddled 12. was ok on te way dow....mild but HORRIBLE texture on the way back. god im out of shape. might have to do with a solid hangover hanging koala styles on my head...butwhatever. felt good. god i love this.
Lower back has been cramping like crazy for the past week, so no surf for me. Fun-sized and clean conditions but the sandbars look really funky. Guess I'm not missing much ... least that's what I'm telling myself.
Mid day maintenance sesh
Small and clean with some pretty fun lefts finding me , rode the WTF twinzer and got a few turns in before running onto dry sand .
Looked like a summer day on the beach with plenty of talent.
I will take it
