\"kellys\"<\/p>\n

SURF:<\/strong> 2-3 ft knee to waist high and fair conditions.<\/p>\n

This morning’s dawn patrol:<\/em> Clean, scattered lines getting up around waist high. It’s fairly small-scale, but definitely rideable this morning. <\/p>\n

Waves this weekend were looking pretty small up and down the coast. I met up with Cryptomail to spend a little time on my Stewart at Ocean Beach.<\/p>\n

Waves were indeed small. I got in a handful of really nice long mellow rides. I saw a dolphin and some sea lions. I pearled quite a bit and was having trouble going left but it was nice to be out on my board again and great to surf at a new spot (especially when it’s small and manageable.)<\/p>\n

There was a group out at Kelly’s having a reunion. They had a best\/worst surfboard competition, a bbq, and a memorial to surfers who have passed on. We checked out the boards. Very cool to see such a tight knit surfing family enjoying the day together. <\/p>\n

Oh, I picked up a shortboard recently. It’s on perma-loan from a friend. I have no idea if I can even ride it. <\/p>\n

\"rocket\"<\/p>\n

It’s a little thick so I’m hoping I can duckdive it. I’m also tempted to pick up a great sounding little fish but I’m worried I’m collecting boards without any idea how or what I want to ride. A fish sounds like a fun small wave alternative to a longboard. Part of me wants to challenge myself with a board that can take bigger waves but I’m also afraid of taking on bigger waves. It would be more practical to have a shortboard that can work well in steeper or larger waves that my longboard can’t, but it would be fun to have a fish and goof off in the little waves!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
