Board : 94
Notes : Super foggy – couldn’t see past the jetty. But it was low tide and I could see loggers were paddling out. A short-boarder came in and said to his friend “you can’t see from here but it’s really crowded out there.” Indeed it was. Once you paddled into the shroud surfers appeared everywhere – ghost like apparitions bobbing in the sea. What was disconcerting was that most of them were short boarders. Not a good sign for me. I paddled diaganol- due south away from the scrum. When the set came it was large – short board material. Fortunately most of them were going left. I waited far from the slot where everyone was packed tight-Got a few right handed bombs. Kind of scary in the fog. Plus I was surfing poorly. But- the waves were good= broad and slabby with a lot of power. Over Heard couple of short boarders say that they were only surfing Capitola because everywhere else was maxed out … like Capitola was a source of shame. I steered away from all of them- santa cruz short board jabroni’s – who needs it
