Had so much fun out there this morning! Chest-high and fast. I actually don't know where the swell is coming from, but I know it was fun - seemed west. I felt really comfortable on my board out there and I even pulled an air! With speed to burn, I hit a little ramp andpopped an ollie about 1 1/2 feet out landing like you land a floater, right in the transition. So fun, so stoked. With my ankle feeling better, I figured out that I have been leaning too much on my bottom turn, causing me to lean too much on my top turn the opposite way, resulting in not being over my board for the top turn. Translation: I was pulling everything today, stayed right over my board the whole time.
Supposedly there is going to be some mid-period NW swell this weekend. I hope so! With the sand the way it is right now, the weather, the crossed up nature of the swells and the short periods it could be super fun this weekend. It could be... Probably not though, but at least it has a chance. Before the sand moves around (from bigger winter storms), when the right swell hits, it's a fricken barrel-fest. Lots of thumpage, but every now and then, yeah, a big fat pipe that you can get out of. I hope this happens. After the surf lately, which has been fast and critical, just not large like it has been down south, I'm about as quick out of the gates as I can be. This is critical for getting some time in the green room. Stay tuned. I'm stretching tonight. Nah, I'm stretching right now - In my office!
