Killing to get them

It was me and Lower Trestles today. All by myself, glassy, freaking rainbows shining down.
And yet, somehow the crowd appeared and ruined a perfect session. That, and a wind-capped South wind. Not to say I did not get a few killer waves, it's just I just could have used a few more without killing to get them.

Pretty frustrating experience

So I should of had Dogpatch to my self, but a pack of Dip Stick Paddle Boarders ruined just about every wave I tried to surf. Grumbles got me a couple of stray waves, but for the most part, it was a pretty frustrating experience.

Zoo arrived in full force

Even though it was a holiday, MLK day, I managed to squeak out a few nice waves at Dogpatch under cloudy cool conditions. The weekend close-out swell is being replaced slowly by a nicely shaped NW that gave me a few nice turns to round out my rides before the Zoo arrived in full force.

Mine all Mine

Little but Lower Trestles's to myself is what it is all about. Sunny and cool water, it was the lulls that were killers but so were the tiny little waves. Head dipping and skating to the shore, I love it when the place feels like it is mine, all mine.

Happy New Year

After a drought of waves for Christmas but plenty of stinking rain, the New Year's gods were more receptive as I got some waves yesterday and today. The waves were freezing and I was cold from lack of getting wet any time recently. Let's hope 09 is on its way with the cool waves, even cold ones, as long as there are waves!
