3/27/12 - Blacks

Paddled at the usual 6:30am time today and met up with Russ for the walk down.  Tide was low at .75ft this morning at 7am and the waves were breaking like it was high tide even though it was low.  Waves would crumble from the outside and then there would be racey inside sections.  Second day on the new board and was able to pop it out of the water on a left bowl on the inside.  Loving it so far.  The wildlife was going crazy today as well with huge ass dolphins swiming everywhere and jumping out the water four at a time.  One even popped up right between Russ and I as we were talking and scared the shit out of us.  The fishing must have been good with dolphins blowing bubbles everywhere and pelicans and other sea birds all over the place.  Surfed the outside just south of Middles for the majority of the session and was able to connect on several all the way to the inside for some long rides and then near the end I sat on the inside for the last 15 minutes for tons of short little rides.    TP buoy showing 2.1-2.6 ft, 210 degrees @ 13.7 secs.  Overall a fun day with the new board defintely adding to the fun factor.  Here is a picture of the master and his work.  Thanks Michael Miller Surfboards!
