10/17/12 - Blacks

Headed down this morning a little bit later than usual but was out in the water by 6:40.  Waves picked up in size and were mainly in the head high range to maybe a bit overhead on sets.  Winds were also offshore making for some hollow sections.  Note to self for future sessions - don't try and ride a 5'8" made for groveling on a day that has power otherwise you will find yourself sliding out on bottom turns and also having to air drop into to sets.  Besides the undergunage there were some really fun lefts rolling though and crowds not too bad on N peak which is where I tried to stay today.  The conditions started changing quite a bit with the south starting to show and the swampy high tide.
