Met Arnold up at Indian this morning, we decided… what the hell, didn’t look that good, but we needed to get wet! Turned out to be a bit of a paddle to get out, even though the rip was working, and the intervals were pretty tight…. water was nice…. still on the warm side! Glad we went….. got a bunch of shoulder to head high juicy nuggets… some bouncy drops, but damn fun….. then the foot paddled out…. I think he needed the the big orange board….. but he was getting a bunch when I left…. met Samoan Eric on the road in…. Good start to a week that we thought would be crap…. sun is even out…… go figure! Tuesday should be about the same, picking up on Wed and Thurs to 9-10 ft, then dropping on Friday to 7ft…. Felt like it still had some South in the swell today…. We have now decided that the very last deck party will be on Monday… Labor Day…. we want to get a bunch of signatures on the building before we knock it down…… and, WE WILL BE OPEN DURING CONSTRUCTION!
