Loooong South Swell Lefts, Finally!
Broke my dry spell and Went to one of my favorite South swell retreats. Loong lefts, sunny and glassy with my friend Rex. About 3-4 foot, head high to overhead. Rode the longboard and had a blast, got the longest noseride ever(for me), and pulled into a feathery tube way up on the nose too.
Highlight was my last wave, rode it from outside aaaall the way to the beach, it connected and I staightened out over the final inside reef into the river where it got deep, by the car and parking lot.
In the picture below I made a line with an arrow showing about where I got that long ride, the line. I measured it with the google earth tool it said .2 of a mile. I may have over extrended the line out farther than the actual ride. Pretty cool you can do that measurement even.
High tide I could see "minefields" start to fire with a couple guys out getting nice lefts.
