A little small, but fun on a long board.

I can't see it but there is a reef on the other side of the hotel I'm told was breaking over 6'

Great! I pull out the shorty.

I remember hunkering down for days during winter blows in Punta Chivato. If it blows for two days, it'll blow five, if it blows for six days it'll blow eleven. I cannot imagine the damage that fifty mile per hour wind driven sand is doing to paint finishes. The dust buildup inside homes must make it like living in the gobi desert.

Man I'm going to have a heck of a tail wind going home next wek if this keeps up. At home, everyone says it is 84 with a low of seventy. Light afternoon breezes.

I tried to shoot them so it looked like they are breaking out side but they're shore break and I think in this wind your long board would come up and slap ya in the face:o

Couldn't agree more! All but impossible to drop in, not to mention holding position to keep from blowing out to sea.
