Hot Weather Part 2 - Dual Sesh

Day started out waking up late and checking the buoys late (I didn't think the swell was going to show up until later in the day). 0600 farshore buoy data read 5.6 feet at 14.8 seconds WNW. What! Alright, I need to surf with the bro's anyway, I'm outta here.

Meet up, paddling out at 0720. Weak, tide too high, swell just not really doing it. MikeyB trunkin' it. (So what else is new? Da Polar Bear.) SUP for an hour, met Mo on his Kazuma, swapped boards (Thanks Mo!) Coffee after with the bro's, then they, off to work; me off to clean up the patio for the summer weather.

Weather: Hot (high temp at 11AM (81 degrees), offshores, awesome!

Second Sesh: Still-hot-air. Offshores whispering water warming. Trunked it in 2 mil spring suit, rash guard, boardshorts and hat. (John says I'm a pussy. I say, "Meow!") Met Greg on his 12' red Laird. He got the waves of the day at Sarges. Me and John move to GDubs after a while and get our best waves of the day. Insiders served up some multi-bowl lines.

It gets like this what? Six, seven days a year. I'll take all I can get! Water still cold. Can you say en espanol...la nina?
