In spite of the maddening crowd.

With damn near perfect waves (for me) at Lowers this morning and the bulldozers on the beach scraping the road to get it ready for the upcoming big Asshole Surfing Professionals contest, I had a really excellent session. It took a little while for the crowd to back off and the tide to just get right, but once it did, it was a virtual skate park, with glassy waves so clean you could mistake the water for smooth, shimmery ice, but the ocean is still pleasantly summer warm. Other than the usual kiddie crap annoyance, the ocean produced some pretty nice head high to overhead waves from time to time that I can't even really say where they might have originated. A bit less hollow than yesterday, but a bit more lined up, I dipped into several pits, ricocheted off lots of lips, and got quite a few waves this morning in spite of the maddening crowd.
