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.
