Board : 92
Notes : Wretched Linda. Onshore close out slop AND crowded. M2 & B suiting up in B lot. Surprised me b/c they are usually more discriminating. As they paddled out I checked the Bolinas surf report- it started “long lines…” . Read no more. Hightailed it N. back to SF and over the GG to B-town. Had to park on the highway leading into B. because every surf hippy and Viagra male model was hittin’ the Bo. Patch had inside and a far, far outside breaking wave. However, the two were not connecting like on September 7th. So, my misgivings about not surfing the Bo’ during ShArktOber were cast aside with the promise of a decent slide. Thusly, I paddled outside. Cross offshore was heavy so it was a constant “keep in position” paddle-game. Still -all in all- almost a four. My performance was poor due to my lack of proper wave selection. The waves I did get I surfed okay. However, I should have (and indeed could have) gotten bigger, better and longer rides – but I didn’t. It was a positioning problem and failure to really read the swell. Had a glorious time but given the shifting problems of the swell I failed to respond as I should have…
