Nice sets rolling in and there was a peak to the north with just a few kayaks. There was a bit of a wait between sets, but not too bad. I had one where I broke the backend out and almost recovered. That would have been sweet. Good quality stuff. Odd for almost July.

Checked a few spots and there was actually some size coming through. Pump house looked the best and it turned out to be fun, but surprisingly crowded for that time of day. Again, I was moving my hand about and getting some great turns in. Old man on a yellow longboard made a point of coming over and asking me if I was getting anything on "that little thing".

Road new electric Electra to work today. Took about 45 minutes each way. I did have a connection problem at first that caused a delay.

Alison made a great observation last night as we were looking at photos. She told me I had scarecrow arms. Sure enough, I do not move my arms as I surf. So today I made an effort and what a difference it made. I was able to make sharper turns and keep my momentum. Really fun session and would have stayed out longer, but the water was really cold.

Took Alison with me to move into new office today. At first the surf monkey was lost and then, when I found him, he was broken off at the knees. Not to impressed with the new area... anyway, we ended up going to TP on the way home. The beach was packed, but they didn't have a swim zone setup! Surf was not too good because the backwash was swallowing up waves, but some were still doable. Fun drops to mushed out hands in trying to get another inch on the waves. When I got out, Alison was fast asleep in her chair.

This time on the way to surf there was a group of young kids on the beach. A couple came over to ask me where I got my board. Apparently they just got into town from Brazil. They were disappointed that they would have to wait until 9 for a shop to open.

There were only a few good waves today. Wind and direction weren't cooperating.

Crowded considering the time. I assume it was because other spots weren't breaking as well, like the last few days. I tried to find an uncrowded peak, but that wasn't easy. It was walling up, but holding up. I got a fun right and busted the lip

The little allen head screw on my leash loosened enough that it became disconnected. I took a few waves after that, but then headed in. It was easily fixed by tightening it back up.

Turmo was looking flat, so I drove down to MB. Wasn't looking too great and I was thinking it would be a three wave session. However, it turned out to be more fun. Sections connected for some fun directional changes. Been cold after the last few sessions, so today I wore a top.

I drove down to turmo, but had to turn around when I thought that I forgot my rash guard. I thought it might have fallen out when I was trying to make the new cooler fit in the Pathfinder. It's too big and I ended up taking it out and putting it back in the house. Anyway, by the time I got down to Turmo people were already leaving. Turns out there's a contest and no parking. So I ended up going home and walking down. When I did get down there, some guy tried to rope me into taking the bouy out. The thing was pretty big and had an anchor and there was no way I was putting that on my board. Some other guy tried to swim it out and it looked like he had problems.

When I finally did get out, it was already getting crowded because they had taken a good chunk of Turmo for the contest. I did grab some fun outside waves and sat right on the bouy.

Walked down to Turmo with Alison. I got four rides pretty quickly. The first three where came quickly and then a long wait to finish up this quick session. Again, sat outside and picked off the quality set waves. I pulled off some powerful turms (for me anyway). Fun stuff, but called it early to give my right shoulder some rest. Picked up a nice loose fitting rash guard from Costco today and used it for this session. The arms felt loose, but it was not iratating.

Some sets came through, but mostly closeouts. I did get some fun rides on both sides of the pier. I did smack my forearm against a fin when I got caught in one closeout. At first I thought that I had cut myself and grabbed my arm really quick. Luckily, there was no cut but it did swell up quickly and I'm guessing that I will have a nice bruise soon. Good thing the fins aren't sharp like the bonzer's.
