Promises, Promises

Can we get a picture? How about a photo of those sloppy, dirty waves that Nat Young was riding just after the storm in front of the wharf? Hope he showered good. Lots of flotsam bobbing around. Watch out for large tree trunks!

The River Mouth was going off last week. Locals that call the break their home were performing aerials and ripping the faces of sets of brown waves curling at the Mouth where an impressive, if not expressive, sand bar has formed.

Longboarders snagged a few sweet early evening sessions at Cowells last week but the water was still scurvy and the sand bars inconsistent. Recent voluminous precip has prompted talk of back-to-back seasonably formed sand bars setting up for loggers, cruisers, nose-riders and the ilk. We'll see. More rain forecast for this week, with dumps of up to five - that's a big Cinco -- inches!

Keepin our fingers crossed and wax ready.

That's it for now. Will be watching closely as '17 shows promise.

Can we get a picture, please. Talk to the grip when he gets back. What just fell?
