El Porto Fridays Rss

  • Break: Beach Bowls
  • Board: Electric
  • Waves: 2
  • Water Temp: 68
  • Weather: Sunny, breezy
  • Surf Session: Meh

The wave really wanted to be somebody.  They could have been a contender, instead of a bummer, which is what they were.  They had the shape, and nearly the strength, but there was just no size.  Board choice didn’t even come into it today.  Granted, I was way over-shooting it with the Electric, but there is no board that I know of that would have been in the zone out there.  I got my obligatory 3 waves though.  I may even be able to claim a half dozen, but they were all pretty questionable.  Here’s hoping for tomorrow.
