It's beginning to look a lot like winter

Just signed up for unemployment

Going to be off for 2 weeks while the boss is on vacation. It will be nice to get to surf other than the weekend

And get PAID for it

Does that make me sponsored

Caught a quick sesh down the street before work on the first NW swell of the fall to make it around Pt Conception. Been living on mtn biking all summer, very little windswell this year.

I do wish my colleagues had consulted the buoys before scheduling a morning meeting tomorrow instead of Thursday when it surely will be flat again. How inconsiderate.

Headed over to Santa Cruz after work with my middle-size wave board. After looking around town (kinda crowded), I ended up at 4 Mile with rapidly building sets. After paddling out, the other few guys kinda disappeared and I sat there alone, not knowing the Monterey buoy had jumped to 16', 17 seconds!

With the dropping tide and the growing swell, the takeoff spot moved out to a quite a ways beyond the point, easily DOH. I got mowed down a few times by the sets, had some awkward wipeouts where my board felt so unfamiliar and the tail drifting around (should have been on my gun), and two long, long holddowns, gettin' wrapped up in the thick kelp, like you usually never experience until December or January. A lone surfer was just standing there on the point with board in hand, waiting for the swells to subside so he could jump off the point. After almost 30 minutes that time never came and eventually he walked back to the beach. I paddled in from my solo session at sunset, happy to feel sand under my feet and happy for the first real northwest swell of the fall, wiping away the memories of a pathetic summer of surf.

Yeah, I had my hat handed to me Santa Cruz style...

Hey Masons I live about 2 hours north of ya.
maybe we should get together to surf some times?
point breaks sound good sometimes and if ya wanna check out some reefs and spots up here I am often looking for someone to paddle out with.
actually surfed with just me and a friend this afternoon for a couple hours at a nearby reef was glassy and fun. it got interesting after about 45 minutes when half of a seal floated through the lineup! it drifted around near us for about 25 minutes until a big enough set and the current took it around into the bay!

Not quite like Huntington Pier, eh Bazza?

Barry,, you gotta respect the landlord if he comes to collect.

Sketchy stuff lol.

Ya, I really appreciate the invite to surf, PM sent and we should definitely get together on the next solid west down here. If the degree is below 290, especially 275ish, then it goes off and there's a lot of areas with perfect rights north of SB proper.

No lie Masons. From IV to Gaviota there lies a lot of nuggets......

I sure hope K-man is scoring in Kauai (how could he not be?) because his home break has been all time this week.

I'm back after three days of surfing OC, MD. Monday was three feet overhead, and kinda ugly. After my fourth ride in, I lost count while going under at least 22 waves trying to get back out. Man I was in a foul mood!

Yesterday was nicer. Head high, drops still rad. Think heavy Seal Beach.
Today was epic, soooooo many left and right dry tubes. About chest high waves. FCS surf plug came loose somehow on the Blast, but the board was killin it. Surfed four hours. It's getting cold.

You scored Mike! Dry tubes both ways...can't remember ever saying that around here!

Uh huh Brad, keep it on the down low

But I can't believe I think I had more right tubes yesterday, than in the last few years. Confidence level is up for now.
