So where do you want to go today? Sherman? Dillon? Bodega?

IT's blowing everywhere north today and probably will hit south later on. It's sunny and not cold.

Go get some!

It was 80 degrees in the Valley yesterday...but the graph for SI doesn't look too smooth.

I'm going to try out my new board in the (little) waves at Dillon :twisted:

Onsite report from Sherman: Wind dying down, people having trouble getting off the beach on 12's.

The coast will be good at Dillon, OB, HMB, Scotts and Waddell.

Alameda and 3rd will likely come up within the next hour or two...

3rd was godly today! Nice to see some familiar faces again. Nice low tide walk in(forgot my snow shoes). Good powered day on the 12. Nice backroll kiteloops Chris! And if the guy who kept pointing at my board reads this, what was that about? Couldnt make out the hand gestures.

And tomorrow is supposed to be good as well.

Dillon was off the hook when I got there, 35 gusting to 40. No kiters and even the poleboarders were overpowered.

Started heading for Sherman, then decided to take the scenic route to Stinson. When I got there at 3:30 it was dropping off, but still was perfect on the 12 for an hour and a half. I guess everyone had been on 10s until then. Low tide there, too, which made for a long walk but otherwise pretty nice. The swell was very cooperative with sets of bigger stuff three in a row followed by smaller stuff that made getting out easier.

I guess when it's blowing over 30 at Dillon it's usually pretty nice at Stinson.

Bulldog, was that you on the Orange and Red 06 Vegas? Brenden and I did the same loop you did from Bodega Harbour all the way down to Stinson and finally got some at Stinson! We were on 10's and had a sweet ride for about 2 1/2 hours. I saw a dorsal fin pop up out of the water and go back in. It did the "cresting breach" thing so I'm pretty sure it was a dolphin, but I wasn't gonna test my luck. Today I just had fun riding and trying to avoid the waves. I'm not ready for that yet, sheesh, but it was sweet!

Glad to hear 3rd went off too! Nice.

-Bobby
