Meeting Rescheduled for Wednesday

I have made an executive decision to reschedule the April 20th meeting to be the morning on Wednesday the 22nd. It is also going to change locations from PB Drive to to 20th Street in Del Mar. This decision was made due to the lack of swell for monday and the predicted swell coming in wednesday/thursday. There is a south that could be producing a few forerunners on wednesday in the waist to chest high range. These sets are gonig to be coming from 190 at 20-seconds.

I hope you make the call yourself and meet up at 6:30 to get a few fun waves and meet up with your fellow surfer colleauges! :-)

April 9th Board Meeting Notes

Seems like yesterday, but a week and a half has already passed since the last board meeting and I have yet to post the pics and meeting "notes". So here it is...
Robert Smith (ACOE), Kevin Grant (PMC), Mike Trotta (LSA), and myself showed up at north camprounds in carlsbad after a few days of heavy wind to find lingering messy peaks... but at least it was offshore! It looked surfable but deceivingly so...
On his way down from Oceanside, Mike Trotta checked out close to the harbor and suggested we make a quick run up the coast for more lined up waves. Usually, I find that the more I drive, the worse the waves get, but in this case we actually found that Mike was telling the truth and paddled out in waist to chest high waves that were overall really fun.

We found a peak that was mostly to ourselves (but Mike still managed to snake a girl that wouldn't leave him alone :-) Robert was catching a few good ones and seemed the most stoked to be in the ocean!
After our session we made a stop at Longboarders Cafe for an always satisfying breakfast and conversation about how the economy is changing the dynamics of our insdustry. Good waves, good food and better company... the best meeting I have been to in a LONG time.
