Session 14 - Feb 6 - 1st/2nd peak

Wednesday Feb 6, 2-4, 1st/2nd peak, 7'6 Kingfish

Another travel day presented another midweek surf opportunity, golden. Sun was out and shining, but surf decided to take the day off, so was pretty small and inconsistent out there, but Kingfish is a good board to make the most of those type of situations. Climbed down the railing and paddled out near 1st peak, able to get a lot of waves out there just by sitting inside a bit from the main jostling pack and snagging the bigger waves that swing wide of the main peak, still I just don't really feel that vibe there so after an hour paddled inside to 2nd peak, where there were only two grommets messing around on longboards. These guys were way more interested in catching sea life than catching waves, so I had my pick of the knee high rollers coming through, ended with a chest high one that held up nicely and paddled on in. Was a nearly negative low tide so all the tide pools are out, set my board on the sand and explored those for a while, all sorts of sea creatures and funny little things to look at...then walked on in and took a warm shower. Another fun day in cold water paradise.
