This is a late, and short, blog entry from Sunday...in anticipation of better things this weekend. Sunday, Earth Day, wasn't bad, but nothing special, either.
As the title suggests, it was a gray morning. A string of sizzling days inland had left the coast in deep overcast and fog, drizzling off and on throughout the morning. Hopefully, not a preview that June gloom has set in early!
A hope of warmer water lead us to don lighter suits - I was in the 3/2 for the first time since Decembers - but it felt pretty chilly getting in. Although, as the pictures show, the size was sufficient to ride and it was typically peaky, Mark Ghattas and I found that we had the Main Peak area all to ourselves through the 90 minute session, with an occasional stick joining us.
Crumbly at first, it actually got quite fun - even a few waves hollow enough for a decent tube ride - about halfway into the session. As we surfed, a team of younger locals, including one who often joins us bodysurfing, picked the sand clean of trash in honor of Earth Day.
It was a decent session, especially since we didn't have to scratch against a band of sticks and sponges for our waves. Always good to get wet!
But Colorado refugee and former Park regular, Eric "EY_\" Yeisley, is on his way to SoCal for a rare immersion, arriving tomorrow. A modest swell is on its way to meet the King of the Smallies, spinmaster EY_\, and back-to-back sessions are planned for Saturday & Sunday.
Can't wait.
