The Weekend Knowing the weekend was about to turn loose the masses, I went for two go outs on Friday. Got some fun surf and, as through out the swell, got to see some ripping. The swell had dropped slightly, but there were still overhead sets out of the west. Someone thought my comment regarding "east-coast bullshit" (translation: suits and ties, powerspeak - it's all bullshit) had something to do with hating the east coast. Not so - but, this weekend I did find some place to hate - Sacramento - the seat of power - the definition of sprawl. It was foggy all day, 32 during the day and 32 during the night. What made my trip even more enjoyable was my stay at a Holiday Skin. Meanwhile - I heard the crew was soaking in the beautiful winter weather and surfing the leftovers of the first swell of 05. I was in the Sac so that my youngest could complete in a soccer tournament - yes, there is something to do besides surf - but not much. Got home Sunday - left the fog and cold and found a beautiful day closing on the bay. The surf was restrained by the low tide, but showed promise for Monday. Surfed second bowl and sharks today- waist to head high mix of fading ground swell and 12 second wind swell. It was fun. Here's a picture of the last swell of 04 - it wasn't taken in the Sac.
