Post-session
Very small. Lighter wind made for better conditions/form and a circus-like atmosphere. Crowded, yes, but many, many beginners and the clueless.
Example: I'm driving down the wall on a small wave that's lined up pretty well--probably my best one up to that point--and two girls on longboards farther down start paddling in my way. One gets off her board and pushes her friend (an obvious newbie) in front of me. So I straighten out and watch the tragicomedy unfold as the riderless board gets picked up by the whitewater and squirts free and lands squarely on the head of the belly-boarding apprentice. A loud, hollow thumping sound and a stifled scream followed.
Right after that I told me friend what happened and paddled over to M's. Had to escape. Had. To.
