sunset beach was nice, enough to ride my little board :)
high tide meant 3ft deep for over a mile ... double :)

I rode at Indian Rocks between 28th and 15th from 3 until about 6...

Some guys out there said it started kicking up around 2pm, expect the same for tomorrow. I was riding a 15m and a demitri pro and had a BLAST!!

Hit blue flag about 3:30pm and it picked up to about 12k from the nw for about 30min, then it died. I waited from 4pm to 6pm before it shifted to the NE again. Funny hearing everywhere else had wind.

Toby, Erick, Josh, and I went out for a night ride at Lassing... Quick ride pretty nice but came out smelling like skunk and low tide made it a little difficult...

Dan, I'll call you tomorrow about riding at Indian...

it was good.

Drove as far north as I could get before hitting CLW. It was pretty good (15 knots). It was one of those days where I thought it would blow up there and not do squat here in St. Pete. It blew pretty good there from about 2 til 7.
Our wind can definitely be localized.

Seeing TONS of tarpon along the beaches lately. Every time out recently I see at least 50 of them (in multiple pods). Kind of cool, but makes me a little nervous because of what follows the tarpon. The only time a shark checked me out real close (big bullshark followed me for several minutes) was when I was hanging with the tarpon pods in the channel of Egmont (dumb)

Friday was even better wind than yesterday (15-18 ), at the Undertow. Rode with Randy and Mark Olsen. Gorgeous days lately and luckily no hint of red tide yet. Anyone remember just how bad it was a few years ago in the summer? It was simply horrendous, unbearable for most. I think it lasted 3 months straight.

I noticed the Gulf water just warmed up quite a bit in the last few days. It stayed much cooler than normal (it was 8 degrees below average in the Gulf just 10 days ago) until recently. Nice to get a some good seabreezes in lately, especially this time of year. :D
Not so common.


Oh, IMO, something is seriously wrong out there at Lassing. The last time I went it literally smelled like 6 day old Rottweiler piss on a shag carpet.
I know low tide and marsh muds have "their smells", I did my master's thesis IN that crap and have smelled some bad smells, but that smell isn't typical at all, imo.
I ain't hopping in that whack water out there for awhile, something just isn't right.

IRB was rideable all the way until dark. The afternoon crew out there left around 6:30, but was able to milk it until sundown. North Beaches may be the call for Father's Day.

Lassing Poop...uh...I mean Lassing Park...
 
Yeah, after riding Lassing Saturday night/Sunday morning, my gear smells like HOT POOP!!! When I got in my car on Sunday morning, it still smelled just from transporting my gear from Lassing Park to my house. It was so bad that I thought my dog had dropped a big turd somewhere in the interior and then curled up and died in there, NASTY stuff, I wish I had never gone. The Backside smells like a dozen fresh-cut roses when compared to LP right now!!!
