E's Surf Report: alright.. ok.. keep it coming

"i was looking back to see if you were looking back at me to see me looking back at you."

OB still small and piddly this morning.. though definitely surfable. I watched a waist/shoulder-high set of rights mellowly peel along between first and second-lot sloat. The wind wasn't raising too much of a ruckus. We thought about it for a few moments but the crew i was rolling with (Lerm, DanK) felt that a little exploration was in order. Past a dismal, flat Rockaway and Lindy. Into the thick, eery fog along Devil's Slide. Grey Whale looking lake-like.. then... bam.. Montara looking super glassy.. not big.. but.. languid, sleek waist/shoulder-high plate-glass peaks blipping, squirting and meandering throughout the beach. Periods of total flatness alternated with minutes of constant windswell peaks to keep things interesting. A few guys surfing at the far south end.. though i'm not sure why as conditions looked bigger and better toward the middle.. Jersey-charger Dan K stepped out of the car, smelled the air, took in the surroundings, and said "It feels damn good here!" We suited up, sauntered down the trail, stretched, and paddled out in the middle of the beach, just the three of us. The girth-challenged stature of the waves kept you wanted more but offered just enough to keep you satisfied. Lerm slanked into a bunch of shoulder-high nuggies. On one wave he took off, turned off the bottom, then kicked out over the back as Dan K was approaching down the line from the other direction. We were tripping out on how CLEAN the water was.. We celebrated the novelty of seeing our feet while sitting on our boards!! OB and P-town are just filthy in comparison.. I think it's time that i/we come to terms that OB really is a dirty-ass surfbreak. sucks. We could also see rocks on the bottom. Light shone through the breaking waves with a vibrant turquoise hue. incredibly beautiful. i was freaking! Surfwise i managed a few fun little pumping niceties during the session.. pulled one backside off-the-top.. then on my last wave i lucked into a steep head-high takeoff on a right that was obviously lining up schweetly. I pounced to my feet and kind-of gripped the wall with my right hand and enjoyed a steep/pitching take-off.. then i was pumping like crazy for a few seconds.. then the wave slowed down for a second and i ripped a little feel-good cuttie.. then the wave began to wall up again and i pumped and cruised all the way to the beach.. a great way to end the session.. On the way back up the trail our olfactory pallates enjoyed the muslix of wildflower blooms and scents. so nice..

Kaiser.. sorry i didn't call yo arse.. when we first pulled up it really didn't look that much better than OB.. just glassier..

hope y'all score..
