Ski: Knee-Waist Deep fresh Powder. Overcast, some wind.
Surf: Waist-Shoulder High, little inconsistent with the low tide. 5.2 ft @ 10 sec from 310º NW
Lots of rain on to coast = lots of snow in the Sierras. 7ft from Wed-Saturday. Somehow Bon and I made it up to their cabin Thursday night with no trouble. We shredded some serious powder Friday and Saturday.
Well, everyone else did. I don’t have much powder experience, let alone waist deep stuff. There was a lot of me face first in the snow yelling a very muffled “I’m okay!” to my friends. It was beautiful and challenging, exhausting and exhilarating. We got 2 solid days of the fluffy stuff, one groomed day and headed home.
Came back to what looked like marginal surf from the lot. A few folks milled about before giving up and going home. We paddled out to the North end and went for broke. It wasn’t too shabby. Waist/Chest high and somewhat clean if a little inconsistent.
I got the one working left of the day. Other folks tried to repeat the performance, but the waves flat out refused to hold up on that side.
Chris got the most air I’ve ever seen someone get on a longboard, well….with a longboard.
Glad we gave it a shot.
