surf was really good yesterday but i didnt have very good luck..first we get all the way out of the harbor and my ski starts running on one cyl..plus cap popped off...so i get towed all the way back in switch plugs fix the problem so i thought and head back out..get all the way down to where we ride and its the best its been in months..overhead and thick..i go up for my first slash on a decent size wave and my ski starts running on one halfway through my turn..i get caught in the lip and take a little trip over the falls and lose my ski..well my hoodlatch broke and my ski nearly sank..so i ended up having to get towed back again (about 2miles)..not fun..but i found the problem..didnt trim the plug wire back far enough..oh well..

Have any details on decent spots? Any direct beach access (not having to ride 25 minutes through a sketchy inlet).

I have to agree, you all have some horrible water quality over there...

I wish you guys could see how sweet the water is over here on a clear day... Man, it's like crystal clear sometimes... You can see 20 yards underwater...

that wave on the outside there was all we had to play w/... It may have been a foot tall... I was rolling off them though... Hate doing small rolls... no fun and lots of work
 
I got to do one role on the 4th behind a 30ft Chris Craft.... It was clean, and I was drunk, and on a friends SJ.... so I decided that was enough.... this weekend will be a hole other story..... i will huck roles all day in knee slap with the 780cc flattop 265lbder :biggrin:

Slutty, I bet you catch more air on my ski ;) Your gona have to give her a whirl Saturday... fingers crossed for any kind of surf.

What's that saying....pin it to win it.

Small rolls are kind of fun, until the next big wave when I end up fast planting a 1 1/4 roll becuse I've been hucking it so hard all day.

uh yeah.... that right there is a problem....

I had been working on getting em bigger (winter, spring) now I'm trying to get em smaller (summer)... no fun :frown:
