Twavo motivated me to search for wind/waves. The weather cooperated.
The rigging area at Davenport was bleached with flowers: yellow, purple,
white.......just amazing to see spring in action.
At 1 pm only 2 guys were out on the lower reef. The waves were mushy and
building. I hit the water at 1:30 w/5.0/8'6" (#210). Light on the inside,
perfect
on the outside, a bit much at times. The wind was gusty at first, later in
the
day it settled down and was perfect. The waves were getting really
large around 2pm on the lower reef.
I had one sweet ride where I milked the wave all the way inside the reef.
Fell
on my jibe. Got hammered by white water.....for 20 minutes. Very humbling
how poweful waves are and how much energy it takes to deal w/the rinse
cycle. I worked my way back to the beach - long reaches into the ocean,
tons of fun playing on the massive swells. Took a 15 minute rest on the
beach.
3pm the waves are getting so big that the upper reef if firing, the waves
are
breaking way out in the ocean, and the channel is getting closed out. The
best rides were defintely on the upper reef. I sailed until my hands could
no longer hold the boom. The waves were so huge.....when a person was
riding a wave, you could not see top of the mast - big. The sound big
waves
make is amazing...riding on upper reef is so fun, as the waves don't
'break'
as much due to deep water channel is my guess.
This was the best wave sailing day that I have ever had on the kind
california
coast.....long sweet rides on big ass waves, nicely powered.
