May 3rd

Again, I almost didn't go surfing this morning.   Yesterday had a south wind on it from the get go so I bailed on that.  And today was predicted to be really small.  When I woke up I could hear the freeway and I could smell the horses at the stables (off shore indicators in SJC).  Well, it was on the small side (waist to shoulder high) but where was everyone?     It was off shore, the water warmed up to 61 or 62, and the contest doesn't start untill tomorrow or Wednesday.  I paddled out at 5:30 and surfed for a solid 90 minutes by myself.   Matt, Dave and Gene paddled out just after 7.
