Wow… December 8th and only one decent swell this whole winter so far, (and I missed it). I feel like an Oliver Twist like beggar looking for wave crumbs in the streets of a surf impoverished West Coast. Mother Nature has really done a number on us again with a lack luster work ethic that should result in an immediate firing.

I’m thinking/hoping that the swell corridor has to burst wide open soon and that it’s only a matter of time until we see a legitimate wave bonanza. Until then I’ll keep going to my anger management classes and popping those Prozac. As for that guy who snaked me on my best wave today and cartwheeled right in front of, all I can say, is it’s a good thing I’m on my meds… I am about to SNAP!
