One or two out at Davenport today on the North Peak . Mast High through the middle of the channel on some sets. Lots of people watching . It looked scary, some people trying to get off the beach but having little success.
Kiters at Scott Creek , Waddel dead by 3:30 pm Saturday nov 7

Waddell good wind between 1 and 3pm. Powered 5.7-5.3 right off the beach, but with some minor holes here and there; very solid powered on outside. Swell just kept on pumping; sometimes had to wait 10min before lull in between sets to get out... Waves certainly mast+; solid long rides all the way down into the creek. Dan, Eric and me only windsurfers out (Attila came when wind dropped at ~3:30ish); 2-3 kiters out but they were mainly only out running the waves...

5 or so out at Coyote yesterday. 5.8 on up to formula rigs. Fun from 3:30 to 4:30. Gymnastics semi-finals won out over waves. On to State finals! Sounds like the guys who made it out yesterday won the biggest swell of the year and the brass balls award!

Very nice shots of all the spots. What's with that kiter shoulder hopping Arnie - very fucked up. Brice gets the biggest wave in the photo series, and Alex gets the most rides and longest swim on film.
Yesterday, I saw Alex with the same rig taped up and back from the dead. Donate your dead sails and boards to Alex. He will ride them for at least two more seasons - and probably do a better job of riding them than you ever did when they were new.
As for conditions yesterday - Waddell was the call. Waves head high and wind just enough to eek aout a plane on a 5.8. Orientation pretty good and able to go DTL for 3-8 turns depending on the rider. Today?
