Late September Beauties

At first light this morning, 15th street might not have looked all that great.  It was CROWDED (50+), slightly lumpy and the shoulder to head high sets were closing out. The inside was cluttered with shortboarders and the longboarders were getting grumpy from the long lulls between sets.  And the water temp was back down in the low 60's.
Reid is always in the right place at the right time.
Around 7:30 more people were leaving the line up than entering it and the surface conditions were starting to clean up.  The tide was rising but that helped with the shape and made the sets much much better.  When I got out of the water around 8 or so to take these photos, the conditions were significantly different from those of the dawn patrol.

Nice bowl!

Raising your hand makes you lighter
Standing room only

Do you surf like a girl?

Wish I did
On the reef
The only longboarder on the inside
