Late post for Saturday, June 24

As usual, I paddled out a little hung over. Met my friend Rome for what I thought would be a good day to be in the water. By the time I was out at 7:50 am, there must have been 30 people in the water, with half of them clustered by the pier. The surf wasn't that great - a NW wind swell that was really mushy.

I tried just hanging out way north of the pier and was unable to catch anything. I ended up moving closer to the pier and tried to pick off anything that broke on the inside. Unfortunately, my performance was pretty sub par. To make things worse, there were 2 dudes taking pictures. One was in the water with a camera inside waterproof housing and another dude on the pier with a pretty big lens. There goes my sponsorship hopes for the season.

Ah well, there's always next year!
