Performance : ***
Board : 94 al
Notes : Going with the five. The whole coast was abuzz. Every spot from from Linda mar down to san diego was firing. Left in darkness and found first light right around waddell creek on the border of santa cruz county. feathering head high glass. I knew the point would be a no no too crowded and too big. considered privates but opted to go straight to capitola. it was a litttle crowded for capitola with people sitting way on the inside and way outside. feathring outside glass perfection. i paddled out fromn the main becach cause its quicker to get to the outside lineup from that vantage point. Also you can easily avoid any oncoming sets. i got a great wave every 10 to 15 minutes. a good ratio. there were some sizable ones. great and challenging to ride. the board can REALLY perch on these types of waves. Sometimes I am surfing it abd it feels like i am not IN the wave but STANDING ON A LEDGE looking down at the wave from above. it’s weird and don’t know how it happens but it does on certain waves. I am about the nose of the board (or near the nose) and the board just HOLDS in the crest very stable. anyway last wave caught by the cam is attached…
