It was a sweet coastal weekend.

Hiked Saddle mtn Sat. morning.

2 hr. Manzo point sail sess Sat afternoon, nice waist to nipple, sometimes head, swell.

Met up with the boys at Lot B, for 2 sick downwinders on sunday.
Pretty cool seeing the mtn. you hiked the day before while downwinding.

Bear would be impressed.

Looks like the coast conditions will be maintaining...

Great pics... manzo was blowing all weekend. Saturday seemed pretty gusty and bouncing from N to WNW, on shore I was clocking 11-35 Shocked Sunday was no fan but pretty steady... apparently it was gusting to 38 mid afternoon! The wind didn't own me as much as the waves did. Good thing low tide revealed the kiddie pool. Good times though!

I was underpowered hating on my 5m when we first went out (guess i need a 6 RPM)- then it came up nicely - I came in at the end after a full-on crushtanic beat down trying to hit a lip that hit first

was struggling to walk up the beach with the kite and surfboard against the 30+ plus breeze and see this geezer on his landboard (thinkin thats pretty bold) Dude gets annihilated - death kite loops draggin belly first down the beach on his trainer - Ben got there and said he was OK - not too bright but BOLD (strange ring to that...)
