E's Surf Report: huge again, stormy.. scored yesterday!

yup.. i finally scored a fun session yesterday.. left work early and checked out our two local lefts.. DeeMers was cracking and absolutely going off.. with perfectly tapering point-break lines reeling in.. too bad 40 or so people were jockeying and jostling for position within the tightly packed lineup.. there didn't look to be that many waves either.. just a definitive set every 7 minutes or so.. if you were able to get yourself into one you'd be "laughin'" .... that's an Aussi expression.. for example.. if, all of a sudden you found yourself in a roomful of cutie ladies at a party, and they started flirting and playing with you, well... "you'd be laughin', mate!".. or.. if you cruised down to 4-mile on a random tuesday morning, even though the swell wasn't that schweet.. then you walked out there and it was glassy with 2 people out, well.. "you'd be laughin, mate!"... ok.. you get the idea.. anyhoo.. i dedided to bail on Deemers and headed over to Spot X, where National Guardsman and Marina chicks meet, where the Union previously defended it's land from the Confederacy and where Jimi Steward saved a damsel in distress in a Hitchcockian Vertigo.. sunrays beamed down and the faint southerly offshore feathered the lips.. Wave after wave after wave after fricken wave funnelled and bent around that point like bicycle spokes around a hub.. only about 10 peeps in the water!!!! I was fucking OUT THERE!!! The big rock right at the main corner was exposed the whole time due to the low tide, the main takeoff sat right to the surfer's left of the rock.. way-overhead bombs just kept coming in and reering up and then peeling along.. Odd Todd was ruling out there, along with a few of the other regulars.. I finally dropped my first bomb after a few minutes and then just got into a nice rhythm and ended up scoring 5 or 6 solid rides.. I was psyched that i landed a bunch of air-droppy, grab-rail takeoffs and then had time and presence-of-mind to turn off the bottom and then off the top.. Spot X is such a great wave for throwing everything you have into the top-turn.. it kind-of mushes and wedges on the shoulder, but the drop is generally pitching and good for speed generation.. i saw one successful barrel ride.. it was basically a great final california session of 2002 for me and i'm leaving for Philly/Jersey a satistied man.. satisfied also because i immediately high-tailed it to Berkeley last night to enjoy a little post-seshy snugglin!!!! really can't be beat can it!!

anyhway.. that thar's the digs.. i'm audi tonight sooo expect some changes in the reports for the next 11 days.. i have some alternative surf-related postings in mind and will also be reporting on my jersey missions with marc and kus.. so keep checkin' back y'all!
