Notes : Moved over to Crapitola – mostly to avoid the Hook toxicity. It was soft and mellow and way to kelpy – managed a few decent right hander – where I performed well – however overall – this holiday weekend as far as surfing performance – it was sub-par- but who’s complaining? not me — great meals and great hikes – we had alot of fun – especially considering this was the great “dem bedwetting Biden get out of the race weekend of the 2024 election cycle”

Notes : Drained low tide. Some heft and size – especially at first bowl where it was shortboard city. Sets had nice fast hollow shape- locals said it was “soft” but could have fooled me. Surfed much better sitting over at the edge of second bowl – the last spot before you head over to Sharks – which was also crowded. I managed to sneak in some really nice fast zippy rights in the first 1.5 hour. The second half was a different story – got crowded with loud mouths. Here is what I texted to Odle and Gina in Thailand: “Yesterday early AM at hook was good. Then it got REALLY CROWDED with major misogynist super asshat Shortboarders – all trying to out yell and out obnoxious the next toxic shit for brains local… ( ie twice divorced Soquel plumber with a former meth habit)”

obnoxious-meter was code red. “All you soft tops get out now or move down to sharks” “too many fucking longboarders are out here” on and on. All white guys 35+ doing the yelling.

Some of the yellers were really really good surfers, however, the majority were not , just slightly above average.

(Really good surfers say nothing because they have the skills to avoid any and all kooks.)

If you are going to be a regulator you need to be respectful reasonable and helpful – not like some surfing corey lewendawski- trumps re election SS thug…

Notes : Same deal – early AM – foggy – super negative tide. Hollow sets coming thru the first bowl. Sat on the edge of the second bowl waiting for a ridable shoulder. Not AS bad a performance as yesterday – Managed a little bit better before the crowd arrived – but still -alot of “a swing and a miss”. Not sure why I misjudge so many waves – could be that I suck at surfing…

Notes : We spiraled down to SC fern river cabin 3. In at the hook early where the early AM. saw a drained low tide and hollow yet soft lines. Couldn’t get arrested – kept getting out of position. Alot of work for maybe -= shocking- one decent ride. Pathetic performance.

Notes : Wow another really good classic boat dox morning. clear blue skies, windless- the sets still did have stand out head /shoulder highs. hi caliber in the lineup as far as long boarders – and I surfed not as well as I wanted to given the VG conditions – flubs, should have had – and lame ass takeoffs – but still managed some nice rides

Notes : Wow – glassy and clean boat dox offerings. crammed with good long boarders. I would call this classic boat dox knee to head high on sets – clear skies – windless. more kelp than I have seen in past years – it is a hairy, ropy type of kelp- as opposed to the rubbery – plant like leaves of the kelp down in Capitola /SC – which is heavier and harder to blast through. Surfed very well and snagged some real nuggets…
