This will be the last time I get to surf this year... Met up with Alison for a short session. Not many people out and small waves. One kid was out sponging in just a black t-shirt and shorts. He stayed out a long time. I was impressed. Waves were small and crumbly, not well formed but not closing out too bad. Still a fun day.

Board: Wilken

Nice sunny day (until the fog rolled in around sunset). Got several fun rides in. The thing about this board is that any sudden turms breaks the tail out - which can be fun.

12/27 **
Time: 10:30
Location: Pump House
Tide: +5 and falling
Direction: 277
Size: 2-4
Board: Wedding board
Water Temp: 57
Wind Conditions: none really until the end
Comments:
Pretty fun with some larger than expected sets. There were a lot of guys out at old mans/turmo, but not much of a crowd at the pump house. Nice long rides on some outside sets that were pretty far out. Got pretty cold at the end, plus the wind was picking up and mixing it up too much. Time for the kite boarders.

12/26 PM ***
Time: 2:30
Location: Turmo
Tide: -1 and rising
Direction: 286
Size: 2-4, 6'
Board: Bonzer as quad
Water Temp: 58
Wind Conditions: Windy, but not as bad as this morning
Comments:
Wow, what a difference a few hours made... or maybe it was the tide... or maybe it was the wind. Any way you slice it, it was 180 degrees different. Some pretty fun drops for Turmo. Tide was pretty low. I was way out there maybe two piers out on a peak by myself for a while.

12/26
Time: 8
Location: Turmo -> Diamond
Tide: +6
Direction: 284
Size: 4-6, 7'
Board: Wedding board
Water Temp: 57
Wind Conditions: looks to be strong onshore
Comments:
I got the warning from Turmo Steve that "It is brutal out there!" He was shaking and clutching a cup of gas station coffee. The side shore current was really strong so I walked out as much as I could. If I would have tossed my board up in the air, it would have sailed away as far as the leash would have let it. There was a lot of water moving. At times you only had a second before you had to duck-dive the next wave. I couldn't get all the way outside (breaking past the pier) and before I knew it, I was at the pump house. There was some ridable stuff on the inside and I got three rides in. By that time I was at diamond... probably less than 30 minutes in the water total and a long walk home. I hope it cleans up later today.
On the loooong walk home, an older lady stuck up a conversation with me. She said that it was looking pretty big and that she used to surf before there were wet suits. She said that was when she was a teenager and didn't care about being cold. The probably also used to be able to have fires on the beach and drink beer legally. Would I trade a wet suit for beer and fire?
