At a certain size, about 2 times overhead, the choice of spots starts to reduce from plentyful to a hand full. Combined with a warm Sunday afternoon and there you have it. Be happy for what you get, wherever in the lineup you can find it.

The last bit is a warning to myself, too much time on my wider boards, 31"ers, hurts me when I jump on this 28".

After two hours I found myself suddenly alone on the first peak when a rare set rolled in. In spinning to get the first wave, I splashed. With the second wave about to mow me down I thought quickly about the little bit of fray I saw on the nylon box to leash cord, and then took a deep breath.
After I swam in.

I wondered about that last wave.... definitely in the O Zone.
Looked like you got some nice parts midway thru!

I surf a break that busy, when it's good.... always interesting

I'm glad people like yourself sup in the winter. Gives me some nice videos to watch which relieves my "cabin fever".

Thanks for sharing.

That was a beautiful day, Jay. I can tell from the camera that when they look big on the GoPro, they must be really big.

I finally got out today with some well formed waves, caught several standing up, which I love, a few kneesies and a couple caught prone. Santa Cruz hasn't been so great in December for some reason. I have only been out twice in three weeks due to weather and timing, and one times sucked, but today was perfect for getting my sea legs again.

Dewey told me that this last Wednesday was the best day he has ever experienced around Sharks, but I was in Discovery Bay attending a funeral.
