Westwards this weekend...I am so psyched

Summary
I rocked some waves today, at both places. Latigo is just so rippable. I have the perfect board for this wave...there is no comparison. Thick rails rock. I could have used the MX at Zuma...that would have been a blast. And it will be tomorrow.
Waves
Decent size, decent shape. The afternoon was rather windy, but Latigo held its own. A little mushy but still super fun. The shape was a little bit blown out and wish washy, but still easy to catch/rip. Zuma held its own in the morning. Some decent shaped, decent sized sets. Pretty closeouty, but when isn't it? It's the gems that rock, and gems there were. Almost all lefts.
Crowds
There were probably a hundred scattered up and down the beach at Zuma. I had my own peak so it didn't matter. Latigo had a handful out, once people saw me ripping they came out. F paddleboarders.
Weather
Beautiful. Morning was clear, crisp, and delicious. Afternoon was sunny, warm, and eye-burning, face-reddening amazing.
Forecast
Yes. I'm in love. With multiple things. Including the upcoming week of surf. Wed/Thur mornings wherever, Thursday afternoon at Latigo, Fri morning Westwards, Fri afternoon Latigo, Sat morn Latigo, Sat afternoon ?, Sun morning ? San Diego?, Mon morning Trestles? I approve. Oh, and head high everywhere Thursday afternoon on. Hell yes.
Eventful Stuff
I'm in love. My life is amazing. I wish I didn't have to have surgery in a week, but you can't win all the time. This weekend is going to be SPEC FRIGGEN TACULAR.
Wave of the Day
Beautiful Latigo rides from the outside in to the shore. A little mushier than usual, but certainly still rippable. A few 4ft gems for sure.
