Had a full day of surf today.  Went out front early super clean and fun, not head high
close on some sets.  Super long lines though.  My thighs are sore from pumping down
the line so much.  Went to Ostienal this afternoon alot different break, very heavy
shutting down some but the shoulders were fun.  Black sand beach super hot.
Sea turtle egg shell everywhere. Came back to our spot and surfd till sunset.
Walking up the beach and saw a nest of sea turtles hatched out crawling to ocean.
Headn back to Ostienal in am.


NYDB ate up with it, didn't figure it out untill I checked 2nd time. Bumped my head

Waves have been fun but not real big, hard to get my fix but it'll do.  Went twice this mornin, an then we went to river mouth at noon, not to fun wind was on it. The evnin surf was good and clean waist chest, had this crazy high tide backwash, got bucked a couple times.  Plan on hittn river mouth in mornin.


DK Little slow this mornin, saw some nice Jack caught in river mouth today. That new purple TT special would be perfect here.  Good luck this wkend.

OH YEAH

got a shot of this woodpecker doing his thing

It always cracks me up to see horses on the beach.
Thats what that was in the water.

Pam headn out

Gitty up

Got out early this mornin, not too big but nice to have some waves for a change.  Good offshore winds.

Got my share of waves today.  Went out 4 times, about 7-8 hrs. worth.  Hope I can paddle in the AM.
