I gave up on the surf earlier today. I'm trimming skins right now, drinking a Blue Moon spiced amber ale, and praying for snow

I think we've got a bump coming. Surfed PB Drive this morning and took my longboard hoping to make the most of it. Much more fun that I expected. Sometimes its good to have low expectations.
6.9'@20. We are going to get some tomorrow!!
"Yo!! Brentley! Ya wanna get faded before work?"
This evening was quite nice at the ledge. And where are the crowds. Surfed with 2-5 people for 3 hours of overhead thumping boxes. And this thing is building. Santa Cruz CDIP is showing 8@20 now. Mmmmmmm. I'm thinking that the shoe could be quite fun and a little scary.
OB has been putting out like a Vietnamese KTV hostess this past week.
I'm chasing this swell down to Todos Santos right now. Etpa etpa! Arriba arriba!
Damn that is a run. You bringing the big board?
Finally got out on my 7'6" first time this season at Scotts. Started glassy, ended with a slight bump and a very fast inside section. The Lane looked fun this evening, but far from epic. Watched a few with bs720. Pics later. I imagine I grab a decent one or two.
A little spam, but I put up a bunch recently on my site from the end of November and beginning of December.
Looks like this thing dies out. Have Wed off and trying to decide if I should WROD or take some left overs.
Waist to nipple high closeouts for me today. Not worth my time except I got to clear the orange funk from my sinuses
Killers was fun yesterday. Solid 10-12' sets (15-20' faces) Hit it w/ my crew as well as a Random WCTer here and a Billabong XXL contender there.
The 6'6 and 7'0 never left my boardbag and ended up on a borrowed 7'4 and 8'6. Nothing like trying to wire a big wave spot on borrowed equipment. Got some sick waves and also had some serious beatdowns/holddowns on the inside section.
Heading back out today. Baja fuckin rules!
Really nice day out at OB today. Size and the paddle kept the crowds manageable. Only caught one in two hours, but definitely the best wave I've caught this winter.

I fucking love this joint. Yesterday was smaller and cleaner. This is a pic of a small in-betweener.
Surfed this for 6 hours straight. Empty. Any wave you want, as much as you want, outside bomb sets, inside barrels, channel back to the lineup.
Big hairball drops, consistent sets, mach speed down the line, barrels. Mixed up with clean-up set cat-and-mouse shenanigans, a redlining 7'0 semigun, some of the longest holddowns I've ever had outside the North Shore and almost getting minced into ground meat on the rocky shoreline each time I took off too deep. Adrenaline OD.
Happy Fun Times!
Nice SP, Baja rocks. Before the kids and before the chaos the past few years, I was either in Baja or Mammoth every single weekend. It might be time for me to get back down there.
Punani, did you drive??
"Yo!! Brentley! Ya wanna get faded before work?"
That looks killer.
Today rocked, sunset session with fairly strong Santa Ana's and the nearest surfer was 400 yards away.
Nipple high waves at first, tide filled in a bit and then outta no where a nice head high right came straight to me, off shores held it up perfectly. Forgot my knee brace but didn't need it. Sickest amber color lighting up the entire coastline just before sunset, that's what I needed.
14@17 on the SF CDIP. 9.6@17 on the buoy 42 spectral. That is some size. Some one is getting some today. Any of you headed to Mavs? I should be at Scotts in a few hours.
Yep. Allnighter SF-OC Sun, meet up with SoCal crew 4am, Ensenada at 7am, surf all day Sat. Overnight at Ensenada, surf 10-4 Tuesday. Back to SF Wed.
It's fucking rockin http://www.surfline.com/surf-report/...ia-hdcam_4152/
I'm paddling out OB with a couple buds. Looks like we'll have it all to ourselves.
Another Todos pic.

Swell bumpage, filled in over night. Mega high tide this morning and it still looked about head high. Tide is getting better now, heading out soon.
strait of juan de fuca was firing yesterday afternoon. Got overhead rights at twin rivers. Heard other spots were working very well.
Got a case of the one-mores and stayed too long into darkness and had scary times in the dark and cold, by myself, far from shore in some sizable waves. Getting to shore and my hot water in the cooler was a relief.
Very nice waves pushing through today, head high and glassy all day. Should be a repeat tomorrow, maybe even better. Merry Christmas everyone!
This morning at OB was pretty big. Can't wait to see the pics from Mav's. Once the tide went out a bit, the beach cleaned up nicely. Not bad for a Saturday, and a holiday at that. Double session tonight, went out at Moraga, got out in front of the Punani Compound. North end is drastically smaller, and the 8'+ tide swing is making dinner at The Cliff House likely. Tomorrow has promise.
Is there a way to post pics straight from your iPhone?

Day 2 on the 7'6", and would not have been disappointed on the 8'4". Scotts was pretty fun on the full tide. As things began to swing out, the sets got less consistent, and the take off a bit ledge like. Saw a bunch of the Mavs regulars down at Scotts today. The high morning tide and the dropping swell kept a bunch of the SC guys near home. Or so they say. Tomorrow has promise, but it will be a day for the smaller boards. Got to love these fall swells when the snow is lacking.
Hey Supu, any news yet?
Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.
