Surf: 3 ft at 16 s from the SSW at 196\u00c2\u00b0 rising tide. Light wind.<\/p>\n

With a new swell coming after a long dry spell, I knew Santa Cruz would be crowded. <\/p>\n

Most of the folks out at 38th were floating around, chatting, so it was pretty easy to pick off waves other people were letting roll past. Still, there were a few close calls when party waves got a little too crowded. For the most part, there were plenty of long rides.<\/p>\n

I was starting to feel like a bit of a wave hog as the day went on. We surfed for four hours. At one point, I got an early wave in a set then picked off a later wave on my way back out. No one had cone for it and I was in exactly the right spot, I just had to do it. After that, I let a few sets go, hoping others would snag a good one. <\/p>\n

I tried to work on my noseriding again. I had one or two waves where I got really far up. I’m sure it looked beyond awkward. I tried to find myself on the cams, to confirm my inner cringe, but sadly every time I took off on a wave, the camera panned. ARG. <\/p>\n

I’m hoping to get some lessons in this year. I want to work on my style and longboarding competence. <\/p>\n

The ride back, we went up the coast. Dog out the window. Checking all the surf spots. Sunburned and happy.<\/p>\n
