Best day of surf 2015?

You know Mitchell fancies himself Delaware's version of LBCrew.

Oh hey my ovals are here. Gotta run !!

 

Hey! did you just give me the business and then run off!?

LBCrew seems like a pretty cool guy, so I'm fine with that (except for the "fancies" part - I'm not really the fancying type) Oh and I don't even know what ovals are.

 

That's the spirit, Mitchell.

However, I now announce that the new Delaware guru is....

Zeroevol.

You may redeem yourself by posting pictures of the next megaswell calling it......Two foot.

And then you can reclaim your status as Swellinfo's Delaware guru.

Unless, Zero calls it "flat."

Yeah, brah just checked Rockies and it's flat.

 

HA HA HA, Mitchell logs more water time then me!

PS, conditions are crappy today! HA

 

For me it was November 1st at Lower Trestles. Head High Plus with some even bigger sets and about as flawless as Lowers gets. Stayed glassy all day. Crowd included Mike Parsons, Jeff Booth, Kolohe Andino, Pat Gudouskis, Jake Davis, Rosey Hodge and Ian Foulke and a bunch of other rippers. Besides the great waves we were getting to ride we got to see some of the best surfing I've ever witnessed in person. Despite the crowd there was a great vibe and plenty of solid waves to go around. Dream conditions really.

Picture I snagged of my son a few days later at Lowers on the smallest day of our 8 day stay there. It was a real good trip.

 

Did a 2 month Mex trip this summer driving. Three days stand out .... One day the wife and I found a right point breaking off a headland. It was about a mile walk down the beach. The wave was pretty fat, really a good simmons/log type wave and I had a short board but the fact that it was just us 2 in the middle of nowhere riding waves almost half a mile then running back up the point was pretty insane.

Another day we rolled the dice and went on this crazy adventure to a spot a local told us about. We had to find a guy with a key to unlock this gate to a private road. Drove down that crappy road for twenty minutes. Then we came to a giant lagoon. Thought...what a waste of time we're screwed. But then these guys building this restaurant said we could pay one of them ten bucks and they would take us in their rowboat....which took 45 minutes. Got off the boat, hiked over the dune and the beach was 2-3x head closeouts. But there was a cliff at the end of the beach....jogged down there about ten minutes and watched it for a while but nothing was coming in. Was about to give up and this 3 wave set just peels off the cliff something insane. Ran back, grabbed board, and surfed this 2x head firing right point alone for 2 hours. Completely nuts some crazy sh!t!

But really the best day was this magic day at Puerto . It was managable Zicatela for me shoulder to head and a half with some double overhead sets . Surfed down the beach and it was just the most easy makable tubes I've ever surfed. Packed a good 8 barrels in the morning and then it somehow glassed off in the afternoon and got even better. It was insane. What a trip. Happy new year to all!

 

P

Great discription! For a sec I was on that wave with you!

 

You are a good man, CJSurf!! Your son looks to be killing it!! AND, more importantly, having fun!!

 

Thanks. The locals out there are very lucky to have this wave as their home break. Its no wonder SanClemente consistently produces some of the best surfers in the world. Its really cool to see how much my son progresses in a short time surfing Lowers but on the flip side it makes it suck to come back home. Even our smallest days we've gotten out there the past two years would have ranked as day of the year back home in NJ.

 

This South African who some will recognize was supposed to be nursing a bad back.......

 

This wasn't the worst day, but it also wasn't the best... LOL

 

Ok so today was maybe not the BEST surf of 2015, but for me second to only October 29. Caught a spot really working today. Surfed a couple of hours and had a blast.
