Blown of the water at the Stick

Had to start out the season on my smallest stuff .
Got there early around 1, three people out . There were zones
were it must have been hitting 50 in the gusts.
half a dozen of the usual locals hitting it for shorter than usual sessions.

4.7 and a wave board.

Coyote Point beat me up. I think I spent almost all of my time in the water and the mud getting thrown around. I felt like I was riding a bull. Rigged a 4.2, I think a 3 would have been plenty for me.

Water was OK. I sailed in January and it was cold then.

Oh and I stepped in a half eaten sea gull, it looked like a Safeway rotisserie chicken from the previous night, except with white feathers. Note sure if that or the slog through the mud was worse.

If you like 3.7 conditions , a solid ebb , spectacular scenery, and zero crowds, then Tomales Bay was a nice place on Friday.

I thought you were a wave guy Boggs. Malibu was light wind sailing with head high surf breaking at county line. Today it's already windy...

Low tide, so Hart's. U/p on 5.7, maybe 3 seconds of barely planing, another guy was doing better on 6.5.

Two sailing, two deciding not to.

Better than not sailing.

Sailed Natural Bridges yesterday and today (Sat- Sun). Fun both times. Did get becalmed the second time I went out yesterday.

Today was good throughout. 15 second period swell that was good fun. I was planing in the puffs so when the extended puffs matched up with the sets coming in it was great.

Needed big gear to handle the lulls. I was using my 7.0 Ezzy. Managed to not dig the clew into the wave face ever.

Wonderful Wind-SUP session with my Amundson Cross 11' and a 5.2 and almost no wind. Great fun and when the wind picked up a bit the monster (180L) started planing!!!!! Simply lovely.

Went today on the inside at Cabrillo. When I got there, there was no wind so I went for lunch and came back than bam! White caps all over the inside. Had a blast for 4 hours!

Nice! Cabrillo is a great spot and I always love sailing there when I go bak home to visit my family.

Had my first Haskins day of the season. Candlestick seemed fogged in a bit but there was some clearing near SFO. Super fun sesh today with about ten others on 4.8s

Another Stick day waiting for the wind to fill in more at Coyote or Crisssy. Started with almost no wind Wind-supping with a 5.2, than at around 4:30 the wind really picked up. Great hour with FSW 100L + 5.2 powered to overpowered than the wind started to decrease but about 10 people hung in there for late session.
