Patagonia booties are so damn warm

Summary
Patagonia boots feel like God on my feet. Not only are they warm (3mm) but they feel so non-existent that you forget you're wearing them while surfing. Oh, Stables was fun again today too. A bit mushy, but certainly some good shoulders nonetheless.
Waves
Super clean, calm but beautiful offshores, far less size than the afternoon session yesterday. I was hopeful that it would stay overheadish (and scare away the poser surfers) but they did not. There were shoulders aplenty, no doubt.
Crowds
Few early on, but that changed quickly as people woke up. C-Street itself was more packed than 1st point is on a good swell, Stables was loaded with people too. There was an NSSA competition going on too, so I'm sure that didn't help.
Weather
Beautiful warm sunrise. Water temperature a bit warmer than yesterday (booties maybe?) and air temp slowly rising from an offshore breezy mid-high 50's early on to a mid 60's by the time we left.
Forecast
Sunday is looking yuck right now. As I'm writing this I'm throwing up the possibility of heading up to Ventura again tomorrow since South swell is still lacking for anything around here. We'll see, knowing me I probably will. Thanksgiving season is looking like some decent south swell will hit down here, but I'm apathetic. Northern California is getting hit with some nice swell, and some pretty decent conditions. Morning should be clean every day, and perhaps even one or two decently surfable afternoons. Fish and shortboard are the two boards, size should (and hopefully is) less than 1.5 overhead every day, and with 12-13sec period, hopefully it's got some nice little carvable slabs. For sure Salmon Creek and Dillon Beach, maybe even go for a few little hikes and hit up some unsurfed spots near home =)
Eventful Stuff
I saw the a-hole who yelled at/called some 80 year old handicapped lady "inconsiderate bitch".
As we were leaving some chick in a huge truck pulled up next to us, who had apparently hit a bird while driving on the street just a minute before. Guess pidgeons really are that dirty, the car certainly wasn't.
Some bad ass waves. I had some beautiful 5ft drops, perfect quick shoulders, a few cutbacks and wraparounds. Overall it was a bit too mushy, but there were some absolutely exceptional waves every now and again. Mia had some where-did-you-go-it-took-you-fifteen-minutes-to-paddle-back-here waves. I guess I got my fair share too, so I can't be too jealous =)
