Notes : Big lefts just north of the A lot pump house. Once you got in you could meander and left and right – but the peak was the left. Further up north a big right was breaking and I felt confident enough to go there for my last wave. only a few people were on it. A bomb came my way – but as far out as I was I was still too inside. Oddly it was leaning left so I decided to try and grab it. From the whitewater was a steep left drop- I held on – but just barely. I stabilized and realized I had a giant sloping line of whitewater behind me- I could go any direction I wanted. I decided to cut right and it was the better choice- the wave started to pitch up and hollow out but i was positioned well.over a 200 yarder – rare for linda-kinda of a twofer good left into a great right – same wave

Notes : Yes a five. The a lot pump house was working again. It seemed crowded however with a lot of quality surfers including B6 and crew. D5 was also getting in so my eyes rolled down towards the creek. Noone except a canoe guy. But M4 was walking back and said to me-“go” it’s great and no one is on it. Just then a majestic right hander came in at the creek – un ridden. I hoofed it down there and avoided the crowd. Well worth it. The first half hour was magic fat feathering roller right at the creek- they guided you in then you had a wide open face that curled into an inside section. After a half hour it dropped however – and changed- D3 came in and was nice to talk w/her. She also avoided the a lot pump house real b/c of the crowd. we shared what arrived – which included a pod of dolphins getting jiggy. The wave was now more inside – but still a gem – you could “carve” the face. I also did a switch foot and rode the second part of a wave successfully goofy footed – it was great. Only 10 waves but each was so well groomed …

Notes : What a sesh. Again in front of the A lot pump house. Glassy rights – been working all week. The peak got kinda crowded fast but it was very consistent. Almost as soon as you paddled out another war came at ya. 22 waves-shortish and sharp – glassy and fast 15 and 16 MPH each ride…

Notes : A four based pretty much on one insanely great ride. offshore head high – folded over then a relatively fat face. Funny how speed is such a factor thrill wise. Yesterday bolinas rides were 3X as long (or 4X) but the average speed was only 12 mph. today the speed average was up to 19mph but much much shorter rides. stoke factor was the same. Saw gregg bedlam and his wife in the parking lot after session. great to see them both after so many years. (they are both used to the OB madness and not LM’s mellow-rama.) Great to catch up…
