Kman, alot easier to test the tick and not you, more accurate as well. Marin County health department can do it I think. Typically tetracycline is used to treat it, does tend to make you very sun sensitive. Going to go check some waves at OB around noon today. Saturday was marginal, missed sunday, hoping for some small clean ones.

Sunday morning at OB was good. I was at the north end and got some 6' waves with offshore winds in the warm sunshine. I only lasted an hour since this cold has me tired all day, but it was a fun hour.

Another dieing swell..1-2 at the reefs.Only consolation is there were only two of us.Hellacious hot walk up the hill.
My nephew was over ob few days ago,said he saw a few kneelos at second parking lot.

Only way to go.Send the little bugger to county health.30 days before they can test for lyme's,ain't waiting that long.They gave me some tetracyl.Said if it's caught within 48-72 hrs good chance it would knock it out....Insurance!

cheers

That was us. Jeff and Bob, Friday, 10am to noon. Alone and really small (3-4 foot faces) but had push.

Had to work Sat and Sun. but got 3.5 hours Monday and 2 hours today.

Good yesterday, too small and too weak today.

All this was at second lot...

Opted for cronkhite this morn.Small but rideable with the usual backwash...fun though!Nothing out here at all,the reefs were flat.
Here's the report straight off stormsurf.

North CA: Expect swell pushing into the coast starting early Wed (4/22) with period 20+ secs, with the second pulse arriving Thursday AM again at 20 + sec, peaking late Thursday evening after sunset for the first pulse and 2 PM Friday for the second, then dropping into the 15-16 sec range for Sat (4/25) and 14-15 secs Sunday (4/26). Peak swell size for the first pulse is expected at 3.5-4.0 ft @ 17 secs (6-7 ft faces with top breaks to peak at 7.5-8.5 ft) from 192-198 degrees with the second pulse perhaps up to 4.0-4.5 ft @ 16-17 secs (6.5-7.5 ft faces with top spots to 8-9 ft) from 180-186 degrees

surfed uppers this Dawn......really big sets coming through fairly consistent,,

super easy crowd for trestles....got ALOt of waves....

We were walking through a tight bush path and i somehow lost my center skeg.....

My favorite one too, G3000...

so i took the mat out for a few waves and got some good smaller ones.. one 6'er that just blew my mind.....speed blurs...

then grabbed my now-twin fin kneelo and proceded to drop on on set wave after set wave and get super long rides ,couple of reallly loose turns that were a rush....

trying to pull off of a wave id say was about a 10' face maybe 8' at the end bowl, i managed the biggest air of my life.... im not even going to say how high i went...

my boogie friend said something about his channel-less bodyboard that i think applys to my kneelo- air, No drag ,... No Lag!.

GREAT DAY!

10 ft that most have been bigger than wedge

K-man · Post by **K-man** » Sat Apr 25, 2009 3:51 pm

Swell jumped a bit over yesterday.Reefs are blown,so the channel was the spot.3-5 bigger sets.Middle peak to the inside...Pretty good rights.Mostly locals,only kneelo out...again... :lol:Tide/wind killed it about about 12.Go back about six.NW's usually shift around and come out the channel from the north, OS.
Ken,where were you??Hunkered down on the left?Looked a bit dicey with that crew.You're more even tempered than I am... :lol:
Some buds found two caster tri's[good condition],20$ apiece at a garage sale... 8) They're brothers,and they both rip...is that kumbaya or what.... :lol:

cheers
