Yep, I actually thought that today was not going to be as fun as yesterday. I was glad to be wrong!
Got out right at sunrise (as you can tell from the picture) and didn't get the rides I wanted to until the sun came out a little more. Today, I was actually able to redo the same left I had yesterday - and it wasn't even my best wave! The better waves today were the rights because they didn't die off. I whussed out on splitting the pier though.
From 6:45 to 7:30 it was just Anne (The Venice High College Counselor), the British kid and me. It was awesome because we had the pick of the litter and everyone had great rides. Anne had a sweet right that I figure she will be thinking about all day.
At 7:30 the pier became pretty crowded with a ton of people I didn't recognize. Heard some of the locals that were on the pier yelling to the crowd, "Get out k%%k!" Also, as I was walking out of the beach, saw some other regulars saying that we should localize the pier to keep it from getting crazy.
My guess is that the crowds were due to the good weather and people not being able to go to Malibu. I bet as the weather starts to get colder, it will thin out the crowds and leave room for the locals who are out there all the time.
For me, it didn't really matter today since I had my fill of good waves. So much so, in fact, I can't even focus on just one.

See, this is exactly why I surf the middle on either side. As much as I hate that whole "kook" crap that people feel emboldened to yell at others, I'm respectful enough to sacrifice the better wave by giving the old-timers their space and paddling out down the beach.
Friday may be a fun day.
