What a freakishly warm weekend we had. Saturday dawned bright and sunny quickly warming up to 75 degrees. Waves were small in town so we shipped everybody down to Manresa and enjoyed some great waves. We set up camp in the channel which had a nice long left, rip current to take you back out and a mushier right on the other side. Clean conditions all day with waist to chest high waves and an occasional head plus set wave to clean out the lineup. The best waves we've had in years for the scrimmage...Then the evening took over with entertainment by Cruzin' and refreshments provided by Primo Beer plus solid cooking from chef Chris Karzag and his sous chef's Kackie Cohen and Gary Silberstein. Many thanks for putting together such a great event!
