Got 1 wave today

Pathetic little waves and the surf schools have added to the mix of kooks in the water. The National Schoolbrats Surfing Association have taken over Lower Trestles this week for a contest, too. *Sighs*. Got 1 wave today.

Summer is here again

It sucked a lot less than usual today. Less crowds, less south wind, less kids all helped. Not sure why, but tI think everyone wanted to sleep in the first day of summer vacation. It wasn't anything special, but the Old Man's inside point had a couple warm wet ones that made me feel like summer is here again.

One two three

I got a few waves this week but today was the first Trestles truck in a long while. Although the mind was willing, and so was the surf, the body way a little shocked I had taken it out into the water after such a long time. In spite of the body, the mind over matter thing made it ride some really nice long waves that were just as easy as one, two three.

The waves of the day

Easter crowds have come and gone with the addition of some very good surf, much to the dismay of all the little groms sitting in class. I just did the Old Man's thing, because of the SW swell in the water, and the inside bowl at low tide did not disappoint. After a couple of back to back absolutely perfect walls I was just wheezing like a race horse at the wire, but certainly in just a few minutes lucked into the waves of the day.

There were plenty to go around.

Spring Fling as Easter Break unleashed the hordes in record numbers. I bit the bullet and traveled to Middles, about as far as one can go to escape the kids on spring break.. The Crowds were there but it was such a nice little swell it didn't matter. I got several nice ones, several got me, and at least there were plenty to go around.

Lines, peaks, tubes and everything in between

Well, if I am becoming a fair weather surfer, today was the day for it. With Springtime blossoming everywhere and the sun shining down, Lowers should have been a full boat on a picture perfect Sunday, and yet it was not. I had the pick of the litter, providing little lips to duck under, and big broad lefts to carve. The Multi swell thing produced lines, peaks, tubes and everything in between.

Perfect Toontown surfing

When 50 Dophins greet me as I paddle out into perfect little Lower Trestles, I have to pinch myself hard to see if I am dreaming. Turns out it was just a fairy tale type of adventure on a windless glassy uncrowded Lower Trestles at 3PM in the afternoon. Little rippers and a couple tubes to boot made me wish it would never end. But school let out and the kiddies all showed, but for a while, it was perfect Toontown surfing.
