I was there Friday. Great sessions with a big lull in between. I went out into the ocean side for a taste, quick to return. 10' swell breaking in odd directions, when the wind is falling doesn't make for enjoyable kiting... Speed runs inside the breakwall are great!

Glad you guys got some in HMB last Saturday! Maybe I'll see you there this SDaturday if the forecast is good, but only if it's S or SW, NW will mean coast or Alameda...
