Longboard Waves in Capitola

Capitola-11-27-09

SURF: 2-4 ft knee to shoulder high. This morning’s dawn patrol: Clean, lined-up little walls.

Had a nice little mid day surf down in Capitola. Everywhere else was big, blown out, or just un fun looking today but Capitola has nice, smooth little waves. My favorite kind of waves.

I only got in a few rides. I need to be more assertive navigating crowds. The waves today were very catchable and mellow, but I missed more than a few worrying about whether or not the person near me was going to get the wave and I kept moving out of position to let folks already on the wave get by. I’m to easily pushed off a peak by crowds, something I’ll have to get over so I can get in more waves.
