Tres Surf Sessions

7.17.12 - Magnificent Montara

Time: Dawn Patrol
Where: Montara
Surfed with: Jacob, Dolphins
Swell Height: Shoulder High
Swell Condition: CLEAN
Board: Tweetie P 7'10

Session Highlights:
I usually bring 9'0 Maroon Platoon, but I wanted to ride Tweetie P because I haven't ridden that board at Montara very much. I like challenging myself and trying new boards. I was a little rusty at first, but then I caught a nice right. I paddled out for more and it seemed like the swell was getting better. Fun morning!

7.18.12 - Magical Montara
Time: Dawn Patrol
Where: Montara
Surfed with: Jacob, Cynthia, Marcia, Luke, Tracey, Chris and Dolphins
Swell Height: Shoulder - Head High
Swell Condition: Clean and Slabby
Board: Tweetie P 7'10

Session Highlights:
Cynthia gathered the troops for dawn patrol. Easy paddle out but the waves were a bit tricky. I thought I was far enough on the outside to catch one of the steeper slabby waves, but my judgement was incorrect. I got smacked down by the wave. I learned my lesson and paddle out further and caught some really nice lefts.

We caught our last wave, but Tracey and Chris showed up. Jacob said, "Let's catch one more wave" and I paddled back out again. I immediately caught one, but didn't want to wait on the beach so I paddled out again. The swell was dying and it took me about 30 minutes to catch "one more wave."

7.22.12 - Sloppy JT

Time: Mid Morning
Where: JT
Surfed with: Jacob, Cynthia, Luke, Heather, Perrin, MJ
Swell Height: Waist to Chest high
Swell Condition: Sloppy and bumpy
Board: Tweetie P 7'10

Session Highlights:
It is becoming a tradition to surf on Sunday for "Church of Surf" with the crew. Sometimes we have a large attendance and sometimes few gather. Today we had a great attendance.

Each of us did a surf check on the our way. We checked Montara and it was super heavy, Cynthia said Bunnies was decent but might not be good for a beginner, and Luke said JT was small but doable. We drove by the JT and it was flat. We didn't wait for a set and decided to meet up with Cynthia at Bunnies. Luke, MJ, (Luke's friend) and Heather had already paddled out at the JT. We decided to join up with them since we planned on meeting.

The surf was not great and there were a lot of people out. It was windy creating a lot of bumpy swell. I caught a nice left but the other rides I got were subpar. I took off late on one of my waves and decided to ditch the board and body surf instead. It was actually really exhilarating!
