Pretty small today compared to yesterday. Caught a couple fun waves, but nothing too exciting. Was mostly a limp, hungover disaster. 

Love is in the air...

Woke up too late this morning, and it was really choppy, but still got some good rides. A random saw me waiting out a huge set, and said "up and over!" trying to motivate me. Then got all embarrassed & apologized when I beat him out to the lineup. We found a nice spot without any other people (sandbar in front of 33rd seems to be working well right now) and I got an awesome right. It was pretty big & I was doing what Taj B says, using your arms to point which direction you want to go. And every time I thought the wave was going to flatten out & die, it peaked up again; felt like it lasted forever. Gave up when about 20 massive waves came through & my hands were to frozen too paddle. B got this pic of me on one of my first waves:

Had another pretty fun day. It was another one of those crazy tide days though. When we got out at 9:30, the waves weren't really peaking, so it was hard to catch anything, then the tide drained out so fast that conditions deteriorated fast. Surprisingly crowded out too, but B & I managed to find a spot by ourselves (gotta love herd mentality) & caught some fun ones. Then it got crazy windy & turned to mush.
