Good Friday!

Not as pretty or big today, but a sparse crowd over my favorite little reef at Dogpatch was all I needed. A scant 2-4 feet and and easy paddle, I lumbered about picking off some fair waves at first that only got better as the tide came in. I won't say it will hit the history books for quality or beauty, but a few rippers peeling over the inside reef is enough for me to call it a Good Friday!

The good get going!

With head high waves and a friendly crew just paddling around wondering if it was really happening, what was the worst dry spell in recent memory has finally been broken by a sunny offshore day at Dogpatch . With the old guys hooting and dolphins ripping it up in the faces of waves, I got a hold of some real beauties this morning. With big flowing turns off the tops and vicious bottom turns, I had more than my fair share peel for a good long ways and then launch me at the end over the inside reef. I'll be a aspirin junkie for a few days, as non use made my muscles squeal a bit due to their recent lack of use, but it was finally good today, and when the going gets good, the good get going!
