If you are a socially adept person a crowded lineup is hell. Playing nice won't get you waves. So we search out the empty spots where we can hunt waves and not offend.

But now in the summer lull of the years swell cycles, on a Sunday, entering the fray is what we do.

Ran into Colas and his camera crew/charming wife on the beach after his early go.

I wonder what those prone surfers thought of that egg slicer headed towards them. Might be the best way ever to keep people from dropping in on you.

Beautiful, beautiful vid and beautiful day!

That is some delicious looking swell and water!  And you're doing a fine job surfing your sup through that crowd. Nothing but 1-2' onshore mush here in NJ for days now!
