Performance : ****
Board : 95
Notes : Going with the double 4’s. It was clean waist to head high and some getting bigger than that. An epic 46 people in the lineup. But mostly because it was a VA surf meet. Like a lake – then the sets would power in. When I first got in – very clean with the outside bombs. An entire contingent were just surfing the inside right. Another entire pod was doing the small right – in front of the near jetty. I got a few records as far as length of rides – some 600’s and one 957 foot. I could of surfed a little better – but my last ride was truly epic. A seal was dead in front of me as I was about to take off. So close I had to just paddle with my right hand. If I had reached with my left I would have likely hit it. (I’ve heard they take off fingers with one bite. Plus this was an adult.) Other factor was two soft top kids – right in the impact zone who were looking at a triangulation of a big floating seal , a big wave coming at them – and me bearing down on everything. ) At the last minute the seal dove straight down – fast and hard – allowing me to take one crucial paddle that angled me into the face of the wave. I could almost feel the slimy back tail of that seal as I stroked hard. It was the final “direction” stroke that got me into the perfect spot. The soft top kids got tombstone/obliterated. Me? Straight down the face of a glassy shoulder high Cap right hander that allowed for a lot of S turns and some tip time. A wave so good – I called it a sesh. [Plus I didn’t want to see if that seal might be out there looking for me.)

Notes : Clear skies and offshore. we had a beautiful drive. Decided on the patch – way outside slow rolling breakers – with A in the mix. First 45 minutes had all the glory – had some slow killer outside waves that went on forever. Then it kind of shut down. We had lunch at coast cafe local caught fish and chips. Then came into SF at prime Mission Carnivale period. Took cab to Zeitgeist – Tom electric – Pliny on tap – Bay Area Bounty…

Notes : Overcast. Misty. Slight onshore. Mostly flat. Except that same little peak just north of the A lot pump house. Great gun little corners. surfed well – with nice friendly crowd that included S , M, many others. Peal thinned out from a high of 14  to about 6 or 7 – fun sesh…Later went to Al’s in North Beach to pick up the … Official Linda Mar Creek Rats Wool Lined Waterproof Hooded Surf Jak – “Presidents Edition”

Notes : Wow – pretty good out there. When I rolled around the hump and looked down onto the Linda Mar beach it was pretty much flat as a lake. But there was a pod north of the A lot so I knew there had to be something. I parked in A and hoofed it up North- where there was a playful little right and left. not much mind you – but it also wasn’t;’t nothing. it had a little push and stayed open for a bit so you could get a nice racy little right or left before it basically collapsed onto shore. got some very nice rights. great crowd also, P and M and B and M and M and J and others also . Funny it was basically like the only peak on the whole mile long stretch of Linda Mar… very good session

Performance : ***+
Board : 95
Notes : Clear skies- still a little chop in the water. there was stuff at the dox but I opted for Taco Bell where there was a little more heft – very nice rights (also lefts) that were coming through. Great crowd that included J and P and M and A and M  and B and other souls – not that crowded – plenty of waves to go around- surfed well – a lot of “LEFT GO RIGHTS”…

Performance : **
Board : 95
Notes : Clear and surface chop – waist to shoulder high dox offerings- crowded as all get out. I could never quite connect with the waves. I did a lot of misreading of waves – like I would be sitting outside and something would swing by but I let it pass and there was nothing behind it. I was like “why the hell didn’t I take that?” that happened 3 or 4 times…
