What are you guys smoking over there?

This morning's SNN: "WE HAVE A SMALL BUMP UP IN THE SURF FOR THE SOUTH-SIDE..."

Huh?

Some very-occasional over-head with some push. Moderately windy and sloppy.

Swell? No. But there's something. Moderately windy.

Junk but showing signs of something.

Crappy at my spot. Small, inconsistent, weak...as boring as all get-out.

Posted at 4:14 PM

What's The Rush?

Have today and tomorrow off from work. Right now I'm just lounging and relaxing.

Hope my usual spot is decent. Gonna surf for as long as I want. (It feels wonderful to know that I can hit it whenever and stay out at my leisure.) After that I'll go eat lunch, and then certainly a nap will be in order.

Ah, I love days off. And I especially relish not working on a weekday. Summer is the best time for this Townie. Life is good.

Slightly better form. Still crappy.

Fair?

Got cited yesterday right in front of where I live for having illegal window tint on my car. See if you can guess the fine . . . give up? It's $287 per violation. I had four tickets. Does anyone see something wrong with that? Would it be called disproportionality (i.e., the penalty is far greater than the transgression)?

The tint was already on the car when I bought it about two years ago. I paid $650--it's a beater. Now I have to pay about $1,150 in fines.

SNN's report for today was dead-on.

Same size and form.

Might be showing signs--some over-headers. Form is definitely sloppy and weak.

About the same size with slightly-better form.

Pissed

My car was broken into yesterday while I was out surfing. It's almost certain the alarm was activated and that's why the culprit(s) didn't have time or the nerve to steal anything except my keys (and alarm remote). They probably didn't know the car had an alarm and were scrambling to find the remote or some other method to disarm it so they wouldn't call further attention to themselves, and then they played it off like it was their car. So, of course, we had to change all the locks to our place.

What can I say? I want justice.

Slightly smaller. Windy. Guess it depends where you go, but it was junk at my spot.

Bigger, 2-3 with 4s, maybe 5s, and windy.

Some over-head. Seems like SE-SW mix.

Awful

Placed last (6th) in my first-round heat and was soundly eliminated.

Posted at 9:52 AM

Anxious...

Means uneasy anticipation, not eagerness. There should be some good waves for today's event at Bowls--there were decent ones yesterday, and today's supposed to be bigger--but I'm not ready.

I should've been practicing all week; instead, I surfed lefts only Thursday and yesterday. My backhand needs much more work for me to feel comfortable and confident.

My heat is at 8:00 this morning. If it's like last year, I could be packing 15 minutes thereafter. I'm extremely nervous right now.

Much bigger...about 1-2 with 3s (I don’t think 4s). Moderate trades.

Guess it’s showing signs--bigger than yesterday. Sloppy and weak.

Smaller but with same conditions and form.

New south swell this weekend? Hope so, because the last event of the season will be running at Bowls.
