1.7.11 Dawn Patrol at the JT

Last night our friend Nikki had a party at Smuggler's Cove in SF because she is going to Ohio for two and half months for work. We are sad that she won't be here, told her how cold it can get in Ohio in the winter and excited for her to get come back.

A lot of friends were there (and all of them surf) so we started discussing where we should surf in the morning. Luke mentioned JT and Darren mentioned Santa Cruz. I looked at the clock and it was already 10:00pm so I opted in for JT and we convinced Darren to come too.

Jacob and I were out the door by 6:55am and on the road to the JT. On the way there, we checked other places just in case if the JT didn't look good but everything was huge besides Linda Mar where the swell was small and not that good. We arrived at the JT and Luke and Darren were there looking at the waves. We all decided it looked good and hopped in.

The waves were chest to shoulder high. There were larger waves that were rolling through, but closing out. We surfed for about an hour and caught some really fun rights and lefts (mostly lefts). I caught one really good right, two decent lefts and one on my head. Jacob said to charge the one that landed on my head and I thought it looked good too but I guess we were wrong.

I think we are going to go to Santa Cruz this weekend so I can talk with Ward Coffey about a surf board. Excited!
