When I paddled out [The Arena] this PM, I was met by a kid coming in -

I know most of the local guys in the water by looks, not by name, and this kid looked familiar -

- BUT-

I guess I was wrong - he was almost in tears -

He said the surfers out there were the biggest a-h**es he had ever surfed with, and he was never gonna come back!

Good thing - bad thing??

Not my problema!

The crowd was actually pretty light and the waves between Point Robertson and Seaweed Gulch were about as good as I could want.

Carsten got some mean bombs at Robertson's and even I got a couple in The Arena.

The only unexpected drop-in I experienced was by JoJo Roper - but now that I think about it - I guess it wasn't unexpected after all -

[He was riding Junior's fish so I did not attempt to skewer board]
