We had a terrific group today. Me, Pat, Rich, Philippe, Eva, Alan, Barry and Corry. Met at the coast guard and did a run to Newport Pier. Smaller swell than Monday, but really humping winds and gusts. The ocean was a mess with runs going out to sea and then bigger ones heading straight in. IT was a very techincal paddle. Eva and Alan stayed inside surfing the harbor entrance and I chose the XT. Storm surf to come in and only Pat and Philippe did not swim. I lost, but found another hat! Love these storms, it surely adds to the confidence level to be able to paddle in them..
