So here's a quick breakdown of the day... Met up with Tucker and Nate at ASI ~7:00AM, then headed for Seaside in ONE car. Arrived there a little after 8:00, only to find the lovely flag on top of Shilo DEAD, not moving whatsoever. Got some breakfast at Pig 'N Pancake (it was good), stopped by Cleanline, decided that the wind would probably be better a little further south, and took off for Manzo. Rigged and were on the water by 10:00 (a little underpowered for the first couple hours - Tucker saw 3 sharks!), then as a group figured it was time for lunch back in Seaside ~3:00. Got some KFC/Taco Bell, got a little lost in some of the neighborhoods near the bay, and 20 minutes later Tucker couldn't find his wallet so we turned around. Assuming he left it on the table, he first went back to the counter and asked if anything had turned up. "No", they replied, so he asked if he could go through the trash... They then said, "Yea go ahead." and so he did with the help of one of the workers. Still NOTHING, so we left, and he was SAD. Nate called the shop to get a wind report for Jones (the original plan was to ride the coast AND Jones), but it was light so we decided to stick with Sunset. Met up with some other guys there and did a little downwinder which was okay, but kinda shitty, only because the wind had really lightened up. My Fuel 11 and Rick's Octane 12 just weren't enough, but Nate and Tucker were able to squeeze by with their Switchblade and Turbo Diesel 12's, respectively. After the ride back up the beach everyone took off so the 3 of us just fucked around close to shore (Tucker also found his wallet in my car) until the wind really started to die as the sunset. Fun stuff, too bad I suck at telling stories...
Here's a few pics... and not great ones for that matter, especially since I didn't have the D70.

Some of those shots are pretty sweet, you must have waded pretty far out to get em. Nice work!
Next time save a taco for the TROLL and you'll probably get better wind!

The shot of Nate grabbin is really nice.
Did you have a water housing for your camera or did you just risk it.

Nate and Tucker were using everything in their 12's at the time, so they had enough juice to just ride... I on the other hand was working the hell out of my 11m to stay above water, but I also wasn't out half a mile off shore like Tucker (where he saw the sharks).
