Don't get me wrong, it wasn't COMPLETE shit out there.  But for fuck's sake, there were 600 guys battling for every 2-3 footer.

What a let down from a promising storm.

It's definitely a glass half empty or half full situation. It's whatever you make out of it. I was burned, had to yield entire sets to others, confrontations and dodge people while riding but I also had my share of fun waves and satisfying turns

It was not a "great everywhere" swell. But it was great some places...

I had a blast for the past 2 days. But I don't get to surf as often as I used to, so everything is fun to me now.

Not at all.  Although - I have to admit...yesterday would have been the better day to give a surf lesson.

This was not the best wave but just one I took of a buddy at the end of our session yesterday. Head high glassy with lefts and rights but the rights were loooonnnggg.

Nope, had 2.5 days of decent surf instead of repainting my moms house. Sorry mom...

Solution to crowds.....don't paddle out, go somewhere else.  Easy enough.

for me... I'm satisfied
I surfed a secret sandbar for Fri DP with just a few peeps.
But, I surfed amongst the crowds Sat and Sun only because that was the break I wanted to surf and didn't want to give up my spot.

There were plenty of un-crowded surf spots with all different kinds of surf rolling thru this weekend.

Simple tactic for me during weekend swells like this one at crowded surf spots... positioning and selection

I missed the whole thing due to illness, but I saw plenty of stuff I wish I could have been out there riding.
Saw lot's of packed spots, but plenty of near empty ones too.
