2:30pm First hour of 12m small waves sun and dropping north winds and here comes the only rain in the area. Totally dead 3:30 to 4:15. But 4:30 suns out -guns out. Rigged 9m and Duke and 3.5 hours of building waves and solid 9. Sun back and I spent the next 3 hours down the line craving up 2-5' waves in the "pit" 1/4 mile down from launch. Great riding and trading urns with the Silver Fox on first official day of retirement. Excellent day and I'm last one off water at 7:40 with sunset 20 minutes later. Totally worth drive today and home to pack for HS trip.
