Delayed report 8 of 8:

Paddled out with Russ and his son. We hung out on the inside, b/c there were a ton of longboarders outside. Caught a few fun ones. Did get a little frustrated with the crowd - not necessarily the number, but the attitude... Alas.

Delayed post 7 of 8:

Paddled out around 10:30, because I was waiting for the tide to drop. I ended up meeting Larry out in the lineup. Caught some fun waves, and I was happy that I didn't have to swim for my long board, as I surfed leash less that day.

Delayed report 6 of 8:

Paddled out during a break in the rain. Conditions looked mediocre from the parking lot, but I figured it's the last session for 2016, so I grabbed my longboard and headed to north peak. I was solo for most of the session, then two other long boarders paddled out. It was a surprisingly fun session.
