Friendly Shelter

Surf: Plenty unruly for most of the beach. Mellow and crumbly waist-chest high for the other part of the beach. 294º WNW 8.9 ft @ 12.1 sec

I never know what board to bring when it’s on the bigger side at Linda Mar. It could be big, clean, and racy. If it is, I’d rather have my 9. Not as much foam makes it easier to handle on the inside, but it’s still a big board to get into the waves farther out where they are softer.

If it’s unruly for most of the beach, but soft and mellow down south, my big glidey 9’4 is lots of fun. Plenty of foam to get into waves and swoosh around. Yay.

I brought my 9’4 and swooshed around in some crumbly surf. Got a few fun ones in with friendly folks tucked just out of the way of the unruliness.
