Got in the water at 6a this morning at Pipes…. wasn’t great, but the water felt great…. no gloves or hood, and super warm with the 4/3 and 3mm booties. Had a bunch of waist high fun nuggets…. only 3 other guys out for a while, then by 8a, looked like about 10 more…. but good vibes and no crowding…… going to pick up more boards today, and meeting with some suppliers, then over to my parents for family biz and cocktails….. Sure is nice to paddle out without the “ice cream headache”, no winds, and as a bonus, about 15 dolphins hung around for a while……That in itself should insure a good day!
