On Friday, the surf was pumping at ten feet. Saturday was expected to be in the 4-6' plus range. I knew I'd hook up with some friends there. Turned out I'd meet a bit more friends than I expected.
High expectations can be a real bummer.
But it was real clean, so I dove in. The Women's World Bodyboarding Championship was still on hold, so a lot of contestants soon joined the already building crowd. Davey-Boy was especially impressive. I watched him as he took off deep going right at Backdoor. A few dozen yards from the takeoff point, an eight foot fan of water would be thrown skyward.
