I could tell today just wasn't as good as yesterday when I was standing at the top of the hill to check it out, but there were three reasons that made me want to paddle out. (1) It was nice and sunny with just a few people out surfing, (2) I remembered to bring the new 6'4" Lost board that I haven't ridden yet and the one that sealed the deal was (3) I had my own Surf Photographer with me "X-Man the Great!"

I had four boards in my Honda Element (1) 7'10" Noserider, 7'4" Hybrid, 6'10" mini log and the new 6'4" Lost board. I grabbed both the 6'10" mini log and the new 6'4" Lost board and headed down to the sand to suit up while X-man set up the photo gear. He was using a Canon 7D on a tripod and really captured the day. The surf was all over the place and it was hard to be in the right spot at the right time. Then I'd look down the line and see a good one and I knew more would come.

I pretty much had the place to my self. I know there was two or three other people out there, but there was plenty of room for everyone...

The back wash was really heavy and sometimes it would really give you a kicking. I managed to pull this one off and made it all the way in...

I rode the new lost board for about an hour then switched over to the 6'10" just to take the PEPSI Challenge. All in all I had a good time and was stoked to finally ride the new Lost board. It was super fast and felt good. The 6'10" made it easier to get into the wave earlier, but it was harder to duck dive (I knew that was going to happen). I'm really looking forward to trying it out on some better shaped waves soon. Hopefully I'll have X-man the Great there to take some more pictures of me in action... I'll keep you posted!
