Some fun at Manzo yesterday - challenging as the wind was aloof in its existence at times on the outside

We need an IPhone app - "where's Gman today".
I'd pay $.99 for that.
John - get on it.

| Thu Sep 27, 12 12:07 am it's been going off, I need a GoPro !! |
|

Wed was 8 - 9m with 5' tame waves, lots of fun all afternoon !!
Tues was 10 - 12m with 10'-12' waves (powerful ones breaking top to bottom), a rare treat and one of the top days this year !!
Waves Monday were huge and vertical, but wind for just an hour !! I rode a few 18' giants, no shit, wish I had a GoPro to film it.

Jolly green giants!
Which is it G-mon? Goofy or regular...always keepin' us guessing.
Silliness down at pistol Monday/Tuesday..6m & nw 7ft 6sec wind swell crossed with a W11 ft 14sec ground swell ....V.A.S. rules in effect...if you make it back to your truck with all your junk....you win!
Three cheers for heavy north pacific disturbances.

The month is almost done, but it has been one of the best in my 20 plus years of wind-riding here on the central coast. More than half of the days have been kiteable along with good swell at the same time. And the forecast for the next 5 days is looking good for the good times to keep on rolling. I attached some GoPro shots of this Sept, not the same day as Gman's, these were earlier this month on a killer 8m day at SB.
