Meeting Notes February 23

Hi Everyone, this is Patrick Zabrocki with your meeting notes for the Professional's Board Meeting on February 23, held at OB Pier (previously Sunset Cliffs).

So first I want to apologize for sending the evite out the Friday before this meeting. It didn't leave much time to respond or make the plans for everyone. I will be sending the evites and reminders to you (including outlook invites) much earlier from here on out. That being said...

There were only three attendees again this meeting. Christi Keller (PMC), Mike Trotta (LSA) and myself, Patrick Zabrocki (PMC). Garbage at Sunset Cliffs was exactly that... garbage. There actually were a few sets that looked rideable but they were rare and very soft. There was a 6 foot high that was drowning the reef so after 25 minutes of waiting we headed over to OB Pier to find solid head high waves!!

There was a left off the pier then a fairly consistent peak to the north that had less people and a lined up left. Although it was a lot better than we expected the waves were still pretty shifty and soft. There was a funky crowd (it IS Ocean Beach or course) but it was light and plenty of waves for everyone. Despite the all that it was a fun morning to be in the water and probably the best waves we have had at a "board" meeting thus far.

We then had breakfast at the simple but yummy Tower 2 Restaurant. Nothing fancy but we could still get a few glances of the sets getting better as the tide dropped... It was difficult to go back to the office.

The next Professionals Board Meeting is going to be held in Del Mar on March 13th. More details to come... Hope to see you there!

January Meeting - Crystal Pier and Konos

The January "board" meeting was held at the Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach. It was a beautiful morning and the conditions couldn't be better with clear skies, no wind and no crowd... unfortunately there were no waves either! It was knee to waist high with a rare chest high set that were fairly backed off but actually pretty fun on a longboard.

Only Kevin Grant and Patrick Zabrocki showed up for the surf but it was a great morning just to be in the ocean.

Breakfast was at Konos and it never dissappoints!! Christi Keller was a late riser but rallied for the food and beautiful view! Since we all work at PMC we discussed the normal projects we work on but are hopeful next meeting there will be a better showing. :-)

Hope you can make the next one!
