Got out for another morning fun time…… an interesting group this morning….. Cheap Bastard, Finger, Stuck up, Slomo…. and a couple more….. waves were everything from mushy, junky and some would stand up and get steep…. shore break had some teeth to it…… waist to chest…. NW 4-5ft @ 8-10 sec’s…. high tide was at 6am, no wind, but supposed to be light winds all day… high of 84 down here….. Wed., NW 6 @ 9 sec’s with light NW Winds and high tide at 7:15am Thurs. NW 6 with light N winds, high at 8:30am Friday and Sat. NW 5 with light NW Winds……
So…. we are out there this morning…. early, tough to get into them, as the tide started out, got a bit easier, but still had to work…… so….. there I am going down the wave….and who is paddling out in front of me…… the infamous Finger….. I can do one of two things….. cut in front of him, or head straight for him….. naturally, since he is a long time friend, I took option 2…. went for him…… then, as if everyone else in the water sees what is going on, starts to chant…. ” take him out”…. over and over….even from the parking lot, I can hear this chant……” take him out”……. wow….. in one clean move, I can make so many happy…….. then at the last minute, I remember….. wait….he is a friend of mine……. so, I just clipped him…… HEY….. what are friends for???? He gave me 1/2 of the peace sign…… damn, got that warm and fuzzy feeling…..
BTW, the last pic today is “Hoppy”….. he was pulling up as I was leaving……
