Day 29 of the 2017 season: Classic Empire Beach Day


A Classic Empire Beach Day, a very rare day with mid-70s, sunny and an empty beach. I was able to launch from the most primo spot on the beach.
Rigged the 11M Z1 and was perfectly dialed in playing in the waves, good lift heading out, great olling heading in with some clean swell on the inside to carve up. 
Headed up wind near the bluff and found it extremely gusty close to shore. Carved my way back to the beach to take a break and maybe rig my 9M. After the break I rigged the 9 only to have the wind lighten up, came and decided to wrap it up and check back later. Later in the day the wind was side off shore and to chancy to rig up.


TOB:  10:00 - 12:00 and 2:00 - 2:30
Gear:  11M Z1 and 9M Z with TT
Water Conditions:   mostly organized southwest swell, fairly clean on the inside
Weather:  mid-summer day, mid-70s, side shore, SSW wind and mostly sunny
Wind:  SSW to 30mph, gusty upwind by the bluff, steady in front of beach
Highlights:  first wave carving day of the season
