Humboldt checking in
Waves were 6 to 8 feet on the face and glassy with A- frames peaks up and down the beach
Water was a little on the cool side :shock:


peace and good waves

got some really good waves in hb yesterday afternoon, the ocean was mixed up but the waves were still somehow pretty glassy....

Then went to the Austrailian Pink Floyd show at the Honda stadium...such a sick show!

Greenough footage at Government point was on the projector throughout the Great GiG in The Sky!....

never saw the footage before ...soooo stoked..

Looks like I missed the Salt Creek session today... came back last night.

I think I saw the Linn clan... day before T-Day? Late PM? Saw another kneelo out Friday PM as well.

I was out on T-Day in the PM... as folks were leaving for dinner. Pretty good call on the crowds, but the swell didn't fare well with the super low tide. That said, it was pretty darn fun all day long. It was 'outside' gravels to the inside 'hope this lines up all right...' pounders.

Got another session at Oceanside last Sunday that also got better and better with the AM crowd thinning.

Beyond that, I did see John Adams. Not good. More to come on his thread.

Jimbo, I can't tell if you're down there or up in SB... NB... seems you're all over the place!

Were you out? Which days?

Once the dust settles I'll go through pix and post if worthy...

Max - Saturday afternoon was insane at the Con. Super crowded low tide screamers. You're right - Sunday was really inconsistent. Wasn't DOH but solid overhead on the sets. Ler - Ranch??? Ranch itself or further north????
