Just about as good as anywhere.

I let the 4th of July crowds come and go and was rewarded today with a new swell and way better surf than I expected. I went out just as everybody went in and a head high series of sets let me unload some seriously mean turns across the Old Man's Inside Peak and inside wally sections. It seems like inside Old man's,with a 190 degree angle, is the next best thing to Lowers, which was completely zooed today. If you time it right, the inside stands up at a 2 foot tide and for 100 yards it is just about as good as anywhere.

I ripped the bag out of it!

Whereas yesterday was a lot of easy-going-fun-in-the-sun, today was more a trip to roller-coaster-land. The waves kicked in to be a good fast thrill ride, allowing for some serious surfing on the Long Deep thick swells that came from all the way from New Zealand. With full face carves and some vicious full speed turns today and even some tubes, I can say just like the Aussies, I ripped the bag out of it.

Hot waves

Lower Trestles was in perfect form today, offering head high waves with just the right amount of juice so you could really blast one off the top, the bottom, or anywhere in between. In spite of the fricken' day care kids polluting the place, I still managed to get some big bowly rollers in the warmest water yet this season.While smoking out in the water, I was thinking that the breeze was just needed to cool me down after burning down the line time after time surfing all the hot waves.
