Board : 95
Notes : overcast mushy onshore white capped mess. Surfline had the hook as “flat” no wind and tide falling. exactly how I like the hook so I headed down. sure enough there were a group of regulars saying how it was “flat and nothing”. I looked over the ledge for 5 minutes and in comes a perfectly groomed waist high glass wave – perfection. 4 people in the water and one really excellent long boarder. during the session we were all surrounded by pelicans – just sitting and floating by us in the line up. suddenly one of them started to dive bomb for fish and every other pelican took the cue. Suddenly we were SWARMED by dive bombing pelicans – literally plunging right next to mat board. some people covered there heads. one guy said it was like feeding time at the zoo. I took one wave and narrowly missed one diving into the face of the wave. sea gulls appeared and tried grabbing the fish out of the pelicans mouth right before it plunged down the pelicans long elastic gullet. then the pelicans would snip and bite at the sea gulls who would squawk back. I had never seen anything like it – quite amazing. plus 4 waist high glass nuggets…
