Jalama!

Summary
Damn this place is baller. I'd kill for beaches like this just a bit farther South---uncrowded potential with some character.
Waves
The session was broken up into two parts---the first part (hour and 3/4) waves were pretty dang decent, easy to surf and shoulders aplenty. The second hour and a half was not as cooperative, mushed out by the wind, and generally an amazing exercise, but not so great of surfing.
Crowds
LAUGH
Weather
Slightly overcast, foggy a bit farther inland, but it cleared up off and on. Unfortunately pretty dang windy around 9. Far better conditions than anywhere south though. The storm sure messed up LA surf pretty well too, so this trip was a good call.
Forecast
Nope, let's not even kid ourselves. I'm not sure if I am even going to be able to surf in the next week (obviously I will, but they'll be crappy sessions...)
Eventful Stuff
Steve got a 5'10" Al Mer Flyer II Tuflite at the CI shop in Santa Barbara. Sick board, I'm stoked for him (though not as much as he is!) I'm excited about custom ordering a board in any color/design/deck/everything that I want. Yes...
Wave of the Day
Oh man. As a wave for actually surfing on, not so great. A wave for going super friggen fast, absolutely amazing. HUGE set comes, probably 1-2ft bigger than any waves we saw the whole day, and I shoot for the first one, Steve the second. I knew that if I stopped going I would get schooled by Steve's wave, so even though it looked pretty closeouty I went. By "I went" I mean I shot down the face of that thing faster than my fish has ever gone. I was almost scared I'd hydroplane and faceplant that's how fast I was going. After talking to Steve after that's pretty much the story for him too. Hilarious, a bit intimidating, but really just loads of fun.
