Nice morning session before work. Waist to chest and super fun.

Note, this was at the beach break South of the point. Point was packed, guy paddled out on a SUP, took the next set wave, fell and then blocked the takeoff for the next 4 waves.

Yes, he was shouted out of the water, yes, he deserved it. I caught one on every set all by myself, all I could get, alone.

I waved him over to me but he slunk off alone. I've been there.

Great day, offshore winds and that beautiful blue grey water that comes with stormy skies. So how about we focus on that?

Coffee in the parking lot many laughs and someone got heli lifted off pch by the county fire. It was not me and for that, and the waves, I'm grateful.

Stopped at Shaper's Supply for more epoxy and took work calls all the way home. I love LA.

Yeah it's gonna get nutty. Samo, you need to hit that South beach break at Topanga on a decent tide/swell with that fanatic. You'd have a ball.

Yeah I've been scoping out that spot out lately. On the last swell saw many unridden waves in that cove. Is that a low tide spot like Sunset?

Laszlo I'll PM you.

Today was my first shot at this swell, between my cold and then the storm and the toxic residue. I figured 48 hours was a reasonable wait after the rains. I checked out both Topanga and Sunset and decided to go out at Sunset. Glad I made that call, Sunset was as good as I've ever seen it. Couple of feet overhead on the sets, and several peaks to choose between. Virtually no crowds to speak of.

Did Topanga today at low tide. The cove was breaking nicely, maybe one good wave for every ten on the point, but then it was uncrowded and sweet. Two other sweepers, but not both at the same time.
