Late posts for 5/8 and 5/13

Late posts for the last two times I surfed:

5/8 - Was definitely fun, but the better waves were by the pier. I waited patiently for the crowd to thin out then moved over when there were only a few people over there. The crazy part was some dude called me out in the water.

"Are you going to take this left or are you just fronting? I asked you a question!"

I was in total shock. I have been surfing the Venice pier for 8 years and haven't been hassled like that. The guy wasn't even one of the regular locals. He was just some dude in the water.

5/13 - Some fun rides but was a little too crowded north side. I ended up moving south side for some fun, but closeout sets. There was a little commotion on the beach. At first I thought it was a beached whale or something, but when the paramedics came out I realized it was a person.

It was only later that I found out someone had a seizure while he was surfing. Luckily, some guys were paying attention and pulled him out of the water. Hope he is doing okay.
