Thursday: Small Surf w/ Potential
After session shot 8am.
Shot before gettn' in.
Ankle to thigh plus south wind swell this morning. The tide was droppining and hurting it. Offshore winds and a few hip high sets that were alot better than a majority of the surf coming through.
Hopefully, I'll have the camcorder running with the new housing by Saturday. The "Golden Bear" is in town this weekend!

Contentment!
Todd.
Today's pictures turned out foggy. I believe the lens had something on it. Today was a great surf early from 5:45 to 7:30AM before the tide got it and slowed it down. On our first several waves it was still dark, waist to chest high and perfect glass! I titled the post "contentment" because B-Dog and I agreed that we caught several waves that left us feeling completely satisfied after our session. I know we both caught chest to shoulder high waves that stood up perfectly.

Playful Waves Today!

Cha-Ching!
This morning was a fun session with good friends. I've shared more waves with friends in this past year of standup than my entire 23 years of surfing. I beleive the ease of catching waves and standing early gives us the safety of riding together more often.
I hope to have a new video cameria by the time the aproaching swell arrives. As of last night's report, Wedneday and Thursday look promising.

Small Waves, Nice Morning!
Northend #16 at 7AM
Today was a great morning to be on the beach. A thigh high wave every now and then kept it interesting. We're all hoping for some wind swell to kick up for tomorrow and Sunday.
Lesson of the Day: Never give Z a camara to take pictures. He's not mature enough for the responsibility.

New Fins & Fun Surf
I got my board set up as a quad now and really like how the fins release. In addition, the board seems to have more lift when pumping for speed. Thanks DW with the fin help.
Today, forecasted to be small, and of course there was a thigh to waist high wave with offshore winds. Before Surfline, Swell Info, MagicSeaweeed and online buoy reports going to the beach and checking the surf was like Christmas Day. You park and run over the dunes and you either got good waves (which would be like getting a great toy for a gift) or flat surf (like getting socks & underwear as a present). Now, if the forecast shows swell and when it's not there it's like I just got sucker punched in the stomach. Especially if you rearranged your work and family schedule. When the forecast shows no swell and there is good swell I freak out. Like someone hooked my adrenal glands up to my car battery. You could call Guiness about the world record work clothes to wetsuit exchange time. 60 seconds flat! Minus a few seconds because I am driving you know.
What do normal people do to keep occupied?
Aint Surfing Great!
