Just can't lose

Heidi and I had planned on going surfing but the trees moving in front of our house had us heading south to Topanga for a possible wind and wave sesh rather than north to Zeroes for a purely surf sesh. As we were driving south, we passed Ali and Noush heading the other way and the cell phones rang... "What do you mean your heading south??", they said. We just came by there going north and it looked really marginal at best.... Well the pager said 10 mph average and we were being optimistic and decided to head south. "Call us and let us know how the surf up there is and if it isn't blowing with waves down at Topanga, we will head north and meet you guys...." Heidi walks down to the beach with me and immediately makes a large point of the three micro-caps visible on the horizon that could well be seagulls or styrofoam coffee cups, but I am looking for an excuse to rig and we charge it...

Great session on my 19 V with the fish surfboard and Heidi was lit and ripping it up on her 16 Venom and 132 FLX.... Wish I was light... Heidi kited till exhausted and a couple of guys came out to join us on their 17 Flysurfer speed and 21 P but stayed way upwind out of the wave zone. My lifeguard bud TR got on the PA to make sure I reminded any of my friends that came out into the water to stay away from the surfers. Good on him... Heidi and I got heaps of waves but stayed well away from the surfers in the section south of the close out peak.

A big grin and a shower under the tower ended our session. We walked across to our favorite Thai restaurant Cholada to have dinner and call Ali and Noush to see how they faired... Ends up there were only three other guys surfing the main peak at Z and it was rocking... So all four of us scored and nobody got bragging rights. Just couldn't lose yesterday despite the gray skies that looked to be jinxin' any chance of wind... Ended up going up to around 14 average down at T. Never give up hope and watch the meters. Lots of spots only last an hour or so during the winter, so you have to be on it.
