Lunch Break Surf Report

D street beckoned for us this afternoon, and we heeded her call. The Good: there was still some swell in the water producing some good sized waves. The Bad: the water was colder than it was during the winter, and the winds made things fairly choppy and shifty. Managed to shoot down the face of the wave for my final ride, and the speed was pretty amazing. Hopefully the wind will die down in the next few days, and maybe the water will start to warm up again.

Bob was also caught surfing D street this morning. See the pictures below:
