Two Waves

No wind, but SUPsurfed three days in a row.  K Road is working big time!

On Friday I caught my longest ride of the year.  Five feet of long left on a day full of rights.

On Sunday I caught my best ride of the year.   Six feet of left (six feet of diesel locomotive…Sunday's waves were packing) and I managed to work the shoulder well…by my standards anyway.  Even Scott approved!  (Scott later went out in his kayak and caught HIS wave of the year.)

It was good we were catching waves of the year, because Sunday was mostly denial.  I only caught one other wave in the sesh.  Same for Scott.  Jeff caught a few but ended up swimming in when his leash broke.   Bill "I'll show all you ******* how it's done" never got out.  The Wolf took a look, but he was short on sleep and the shore break suggested a day of watching.  Tomas was seen getting multiple pink slips.  Tomas is tenacious, though…he may have caught something after the rest of us left.

    Mike,I must take umbrage with your assessment;first,though a surf snob at heart,I never said “I’ show you……er’s how it’s done,and second you didn’t mention that after suiting and checking conditions,I didn’t even
    try to get out being too tired from surfing head high barrels all morning at the other inlet.And third,Sunday was by far best day in weeks,if you were in the right spot! Glad we were all havin’fun! Peace BB

    Bill Bill Bill…it’s all true (what you state). I actually never heard you say anything…I got the quote from Scott, who was perhaps still umbraged over Bill’s Bowl, as we discussed at the ‘Dome. We must remember that this is The Peconic Puffin, where screw ups and mistakes are celebrated (by me) and fun shall be made! Sunday was something…for me my one “good” wave was the best wave I’ve been on in years. Glad you caught some head-high barrels elsewhere.

    sorry bill but you did say “I will show you guys how to get out !”. I must say its the first time I ever saw bill get denied in over 25 years ! and I got out in a kayak!!

    Bill must be very good indeed if you’ve never seen him denied in 25+ years. Still the question remains: Scott got out in a kayak, and I (known as the last person to find a way out) got out too. So what happened? Those morning head-high barrels must have been something. I’d like to catch me such a barrel (and live to tell about it!)
