Just had a great surf - had to share Started with two friendly proners (no, really). But after 45 minutes had the waves to myself. Thigh to waist high to sometimes shoulder high waves - lots waist high (I am 6'3") so not huge but FUN, FUN, FUN! I am an old guy so I wasn't smackin' the lip, but I gave it a good caressing!

About 20% if the time it was strong offshore and even raining, but the rest of the time it was glassy or light off-shore - waves stood up nicely.

But the weather - watching squalls drift past, with rain pouring down (at a distance), lines of black clouds, with the most amazing, bright rainbows. And then the sunset at the end! Nature sure can put on a show!

I was riding my 8'10" Acid - what a board!!

45 waves in 3 hours before the battery got too low in the Rip Curl watch.

Fun stuff - but now I am knackered! It is a great feeling

Fantastic CSE!

I tell people that one of my favorite parts of a good session is the "parking lot glow" you bask in, when drying off and gearing down.

Thanks for the stoke

In my mind, yes. In reality, probably not even close

Thanks. And then the question is whether you write a post whilst still in the glow...

Nice. That thoroughly surfed out feeling is the best. Muscles and head all ringing from the waves.
