4/22/12 - Blacks

Met Tony at the glider port this morning at 7am for a DHD reunion session. Waves were a bit inconsistant when we first got out but there was still plenty of funs ones out there. As the tide started filling in the waves started breaking a little further north which was good because at first they were focused mainly on middle peak. A slight chop on the water with mostly waist high sets crumbling from the outside to wedging up nicely on the inside. It was breaking like high tide again on the low with the waves seeming hitting a little hole near right before breaking so it made it a little hard to judge on where to sit. We ended up paddling a little further north against the steady nearshore rip tide. TP showing 1.8-2.3 ft, 206 degrees @ 12.9 secs. Tide was a dead low at about 4:30am rising another 3ft. Stayed out for 2 1/2 hours before calling it quits.

It was fun to get back in the water on a short board for a change. I still think I need a little more volume in my short boards to assist with paddle power, but I don't want to lose the shreddability of a shorter board. Water wasn't too cold ...............but my toes were!!! -Tony
