Greg and Steve were in the water when I arrived and consistent head high sets started pouring in. Steve had been out for a half hour all alone, taking down wave after wave. Scimi's was off the hook with pretty, a-frame overhead bombs pouring through, with even more consistency than GW's. Only a dozen guys out. The three of us surfed for another hour and a half before Greg and Steve had to go in. I surfed another half hour before I got tired, paddled back to Sarges and took a chest high closeout into the beach. Finally, some good Winter, high tide waves. Too bad Winter is over.
Greg got a nice one for one of the waves of the day. I hooked into a couple myself. Click HERE to see it full screen.

ReplyDeleteHey Ramsnake,
ReplyDeleteHope you're getting a lot of good ones down under. Yeah, I was glad to be able to get Greg on that wave. He surfs GDubs so well and he's a dawn patrol regular. Thanks for the comment. Take care and aloha.
