First Surfrider session in more than two months...

Summary
And it was pretty fun. That longboard is effing huge. It boggles my mind how Mia can surf that...it's so big and slow to respond.
Waves
Small, but fun. There was a little south swell so I figured I'd hit up Malibu in lieu of driving far. Most everything was less than waist high, but there were a few waist + at second, towards the end of the session moderately consistent too, surprisingly.
Crowds
There were a few others out, but not crowded, espiceally considering that this is the first time in more than a month that Surfrider's been any good.
Weather
Sunny, rather chilly, but beautiful. The wind started to pick up (onshore) towards the end of the session, mushing everything up.
Forecast
Not great down South, but Norcal looks like it'll be head high beauties when I get home on Friday. Carmel Beach it is =)
Eventful Stuff
Saw Cotton and some other kid that lives above me here. My surfing was pretty crappy overall. Not using a leash just throws me off. I am not that comfortable on this un-manuverable plank.
Wave of the Day
There were three or four really good rides. I actually had one wave that was inches from shacking me, but it was just too small. All rights (Malibu) and some truly decent rides. My fish is jealous. Not so much turns (since I lose my balance on this giant board apparently) but there was some walking and noseriding. That is tons of fun.

Summary:
Surfrider 1/2, Malibu
10' Giant-Ass Plank (Mia's)
9:00-11:30
1-2ft with 3ft sets
1+/5
Solo but I saw Cotton
