You can't hold me back...

Summary
Fun session. Not big, not small, but fun. My new board is effing sick. So is the cam...
Waves
Decent. Not spectacular. Inconsistent, pretty workable, some super fun shoulders. I was surfing the point so that's usually got decent shape if there's any swell even if it's crappy. That said, the waves were not crappy, just few and far between, which was fine when there weren't a bunch of people out but once it got into the multi-dozens waiting for the same peak, I was over it.
Crowds
A handful out. Not crowded at all at the beginning, but there ended up being a decent little crowd...although nothing compared to what it could be given the (mid level) hype.
Weather
Started out beautiful, warm, sun making the sky glow. Just before the end of the session the fog rolled in and cooled it down a lot.
Forecast
Looks pretty darn decent for the next few days. I am quite hopeful. I don't think it will be as good as the forecasts predict, but I do think it will be fun.
Eventful Stuff
Go Pro. Yea, so fun. Sweet video. I finished my first video up this afternoon---I think it's pretty decent for a first go!
Wave of the Day
I had a few super fun rights from the point. The wave of the day for me I would say was the wave where one guy kind of frantically asks me if I'm going for it...I am. I paddle for this bomb---perfect positioning, the lady on the longboard was sitting just a little too deep, so I made the drop, pretty vertical, racing the face, there were a few turns mixed in there too...but it was just an exhilarating rush. Exactly what I needed.
