Loc: North
HB
Crew: Bri
Conditions:
1-2 FT, windy, onshore, choppy, sunny, small.
Long story short, Bri and I were supposed
to do nothing but study this Monday, but I had the itch . . . the urge to leave
the house to get some surf. It was a beautiful day out, so we launched a
surgical strike to HB.
South HB was shit . . . too small. A couple
guys were out, but . . . with the
drained-out tide, it was just terrible. We drove north a little and saw more
guys at Golden West, but a lot of them were leaving since the wind picked up. I
was pissed off at myself. We should have just stayed local, but there was an
extra foot of surf here.
Bri didn’t think we’d paddle out, but I
didn’t drive down there for nothing. I unloaded the Zippy and we headed out
towards the choppy, dismal surf, but . . . we had it all to ourselves. Little,
wind-swell peaks would pop out of nowhere. Even though they were tiny and
short-distanced ride, there were so many of them, and they were fast. After an
hour I suggested that we go in, but Briana said she was having fun, so we
stretched it out a little longer.
In the early evening, we found ourselves at
California Pizza Kitchen, enjoying a free Veteran’s Day meal. Turned out to be
a good surf trip after all.

ReplyDeleteTalk about a near miss!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteSurfing G, awww, we could have bumped into each other! Yeah, the conditions were not appealing, but we did it anyway, made the best of it. Indeed a "near miss."
