Interesting day! North wind wiped out the outrageous northern set of the previous day, but set up a confused wave train unattached from normal offshore swell. I was going to go with the full size foamy big board and try to stand up and do what the locals call "surfing." But the prospect of short rides into close-outs seemed dull. So back to the bodyboard. A few great rides, but the post break rebound was punishing and a clump of sand straight to the left eye had me give it up sooner than I'd have liked.
