Surf: Started out Chest high and slow, became slightly overhead.5.9 ft at 12.5 s from W at 270\u00c2\u00b0. Outgoing tide.<\/p>\n

I had a little bit of free time today and I’ve been itching to try out my Vaquero on a nice point break. <\/p>\n

The cam’s looked okay. Fairly manageable, a little slow, but I wasn’t exactly racing down. Hell, Beamer and I stopped for lunch on the way. <\/p>\n

Getting down there, it looked fun enough, but still slow and on the smaller side. I was relieved. I still have a pit in my stomach from last years Pleasure Point beatings. Even after paddling out and into some reasonable sized waves, I was still a little nervous. <\/p>\n

I got a slow wave off the bat, missed a few for a while, then went inside to pick up some little steeper ones. Looking back, the size had really come up. Suddenly things were head high+, clean, and beautiful. The sun was out, people were smiling. <\/p>\n

I paddled around till my back muscles were burning. When I got tired, I headed to 38th and cruised along on some chest high waves a while. I was getting a little bit of a look from some longboarders eyeing my little Vaq skeptically, but I got into to plenty of waves and swished and zipped around. <\/p>\n

Met back up with Beamer for a hot tub soak and a couple of slices of pizza. Pretty good day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
