I was out on at near John's Pass last night and it was blowing 12 -18 until the rain would come in and kill it for a while. It was fun to ride with chest high waves rolling in.

I got out to IRB at about 4:45 and it was backing off, at around 5:15 it started cranking big time straight outta the west with maybe a tad of north. Kinda hard to stay off shore but one of the more fun sessions I have had, I love playing in the surf. I was putting my gear away in the dark and it picked up even more after the sun went down!

That was fun being in waves, even if they were only a certain size.
It has been SO long since I encountered anything resembling a wave, that it felt a little awkward at first, actually.

I wish the waves were always so nice here. I was really wishing I had a surf board yesterday. I rode upwind to Upham, and the waves were decent, but not large enough to ride on just a TT.
I want to buy a surf board for riding, but I still can't decide if it's worth it for our downwinders and our size of waves.
It probably is, I may as well just get one.

Thats funny, since I have moved to PC getting a Flat water session is a treat! LOL We get a lot of waves up here and I love it! Damien LeeRoy was up here on Tuesday. We had mid 20's all day with overhead waves. I am going to upload the pics to my site tonight but here are a few of Damien. Enjoy!
