1.20.13 - Blacks

Paddled out at 9:00, with Joel S. and Chris M. joined us a little later. Tide was dropping to a 0.7' low at 11:55 am. Conditions were clean, with no winds. Torrey Pines Outer Buoy was reporting Significant Wave Height of 2.7' from 268° at 20s. Today was my first session on my new 5'11" Xanadu Pig 2. Conditions looked pretty clean while we were walking up the beach. This swell was pretty hyped up, therefore it was pretty crowded, so we opted to paddle out close to the Ho Chi Min trail head. The waves were really backed off outside, and would then close out on the inside. I only caught a couple of waves, and in general it was a pretty crappy session. Not ideal for my first session on a new board. Waves were chest high +. Water was 56°. Board ridden: 5'11" Xanadu Pig 2.
