who here has been surfing this week?

fun waves today went out earlier, sandbars everywhere its pretty cool lol yet still some crowds.its been pretty good this winter,havnt been out since January so it was nice to get wet

 

Paddled out with MFCondor aka NickM on Saturday, 2 to 3 with some bigger sets. Caught him pulling into this sweet little barrel.

 

Bro, glad you scored. Howeverrre, has there everre beene a great day in tasket in the history of the physical world???

 

btw, hit R*nc*n P***t yesterday for the first time ever. Wasn't by any means an all-time day there for it's standards or anything close, but wow.

 

damn.... i want to surf rincon.....

 

Ahmeen, I didn't get it on any special day and there was some cross-up in secondary swell and it was getting swampier at higher tide but still....damn, bro.

Ventura/SB coast is the best setup I've seen so far when it comes to access, user-friendliness and number of dope spots. Just consulted my Stormrider book last night to identify lefts to check out next time I'm out there.

 

sixth day in a row of decent waves...started off big and burly for a couple of days, hanging in this afternoon in the mellow but fun range. Easily this smallest its been for a week. 3 hour session helped by the 65 degree air temps and calm wind.

 

Surfed rodanthe the last two days. 3-4ft and offshore both days. Combined 13 hours of surfing the last two days... Can't wait for more. Keep it up El Niño

 

First time, ever, two days ago in Cozumel, Mexico, 76 degrees, Sea 80 degrees, wind 11 mph NE, 3-4 footers. Lucky enough to get up for a few seconds and seemed like a lifetime. Thanks!

 

Congrats Surf!! You will always remember your first wave.

 

Yea... It's been a really good winter so far, in terms of ridable days.

I was thinking...last winter, there was a thread about how "it's always flat in January." I had to laugh...

 

I hear that LB. I think I've surfed more this Winter than I have the previous two combined. I got in both days this weekend. I was in both days about 2 hours before low tide. The angle was just right for my sand bar. My youngest son and I had it all to ourselves both days. Saturday was a bit of a paddle but worth the reward. I liked yesterday's smaller set up better though. I had that strength and positive vibe all weekend.
Now, I'm smack-dab in the middle of a 15 hour work day/night and I have to spend next weekend in Pittsburgh, which is prolly the dreariest city in America in the month of February. I'm going drink the entire town supply of Jack Daniels....

 

+1 Been pulling two-a -ays, it's been fuuuuuun!

 

I am convinced that today's surfers are really sheep. Despite all the media hype about how surfers are individualists and search for empty waves they are a bunch of sheep who like to flock together.

 

Met up with a fellow SI member for a surf yesterday before dark, wind and tide were on it but still found a few nugs out there. Chest high, sometimes bigger. One in particular was a head high drop at the peak, real chunky, had some bump on the face, got in early and then hit the gas pedal, was cruising along on my LB and then all of a sudden the wave burped or something and there was a ledge I air dropped off of, had to jump back on the tail to prevent nose diving and eating sh*t, made it, kept going, throw some turns in, a little walking of the board through sections, and into the inside and spun out just before getting pinched by the shorepound. Conditions weren't very good but this one was worth it. Caught a few more before the tide really got on it. One wave sometimes is all I need, as long as it's a long ride.

 

Nothing wrong with that! YEW

 

I obviously prefer nice perfect clean green walls to work with, but sometimes the added obstacles on a less than perfect day can make things interesting lol

 

lmfao

 

Don't we all! On Sat, it was small and hollow, but fun. Dropped into one of the larger waves of the day, steep little drop straight down the line. A little ways down the whole wave started to close out so I turned towards the beach. The water was pretty shallow and the wave broke with such force, it shot me off my board forward. I came up cracking up. My buddy was on the inside paddling back out, laughing his arse off. It was a fun day!

 

You mean like well filled bikinis in the way???
