...scary drops

Summary
Seriously scary drops. That sums up the morning's surf. There was pretty ridiculous on-the-head smacks from waves too. There were some where I was legitimately in pain after getting compressed by ten foot bombs...
Waves
Big. Raw. Unruly. Painful. Death drops.
Crowds
About two dozen others out when I first paddled out---slowly dwindling numbers. Surprising amount of women out, almost 1/3 of the people out. Most I've seen anywhere.
Weather
Sunny, pretty warm. The water at Salmon is a fair bit warmer than at Dillon. Honestly somewhat surprising. Beautiful morning---crisp breeze out of the West started to pick up, mushing the waves somewhat, making the paddle pretty treacherous.
Forecast
Big, powerful, quality. Turkey day looks AMAZING. Friday looks a bit brutal, same with Saturday. Sunday looks pretty good too. Today is the smallest day of the coming week.
Eventful Stuff
I was legitimately scared to drop in on most of these waves. I made probably half a dozen waves, but most were intense drops into what look liked deathpits. I say that because the first two waves I took resulted in twenty minute paddles back out, pushed all the way inside until I lucked out back on the paddle. Intense, painful, seriously scary waves this morning...
Wave of the Day
I had a few pretty sweet rights. Intense drops, bottom turns, wraps. They were a bit mushy, but overpowering and definitely scary if you mess up.
