Saturday, Bay St.

Tried El Porto as homage to Andrew's birthday. No parking, as expected. Winded our way up to Bay St. I took surface streets and beat Andrew by a bathroom break and surf check. Not a bad day but it got more crowded and competitive as the morning wore on.

Andrew had two collisions. On one wave, we took off next to each other. He angled left, I angled right and bailed. Our boards collided in the froth. A similar thing happened to Andrew and a surfer lady on a later wave, with direr results, a ding on the rail. Maybe Andrew's surflexic. He sure did have some long rides though.

Urth Cafe after surfing. They were all out of cheese danishes, so the cashier offered an apple tart. It was delicious, sliced apples on top of a bed of custard in a flaky tart crust. No more danishes for me. We stopped by ZJ boarding house. Saw a Firewire Dominator I liked: 6' 10" x 22" x 3 1/4" with a bamboo deck. I think that's the "Rapidfire" technology.
