Cole: IB is not great in the winter, but just wait for summer. There are plenty of channels, the waves have great shapes, there will be paddle-out channels and it will be one of the few spots in the summer to pick up the south swells. Just you wait.

Flounder: LOL, lets trade next time we go. By the way, I have yet to catch Bird Rock any good..]]> Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:10:12 +0000 http://www.surfingsandiego.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4264&PID=45229#45229 The Lounge : any jobs available? http://www.surfingsandiego.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4271&PID=45228#45228 Author: elegantmess

Yea. Someday I will try that out. Maybe like in a year or so I will move to a more of a shortboard shape. I went out near dog jetty one time on a huge storm and just got worked. Plus the big jetty rip current sucked me way north.]]> Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:50:42 +0000 http://www.surfingsandiego.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4264&PID=45225#45225 The Lounge : any jobs available? http://www.surfingsandiego.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4271&PID=45224#45224 Author: vegas mike

cole I think your board will do great in the summer waves.  It's perfect for a mushy clean wave and you just don't get a lot of that in the winter.  Mostly steep and choppy. 
I know O.B. isn't your parents favorite spot, but there's a nice channel by the pier to get out, and there's a surf cam so you can see how the waves look before you go.  They get some nice mushy waves there on the south side of the pier and out in front of the hotel.

I was out at the Shores today too. You're absolutely right about the short intervals between the waves. Once I finally got to the outside, it was a bit of a wait to get anything that wasn't going to close out right away.]]> Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:52:38 +0000 http://www.surfingsandiego.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1064&PID=45222#45222 Lets Go Surfin' Now... : Session Reports http://www.surfingsandiego.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1064&PID=45221#45221 Author: redheadedsurfer

Whew...humiliation day today. I've been out maybe twice in the last six weeks or so, so I figured it'd be a rough session, but I really didn't appreciate how poorly conditioned I am after that break.

Shores was running maybe a foot or two overhead, but with the low period the waves were just crashing constantly and all mixed up due to the heavy currents. I spent about a half hour paddling constantly and just getting wiped by the whitewater before I gave up and took my spaghetti arms back home to shower.    

Pretty weak, but probably for the best...if you can't make it outside, you have no business being there. When I first walked out to the beach, I was wondering why there were so few people in the water but now I know. Looks like things should settle down a bit overnight, so I'll try again tomorrow.
 
This happens to me as well.    This winter there have been a few occasions were I just could not make it out, and I had to pack it in an call it a day.    Or there are those days when I make it out, catch a wave, ride it all the way in, then have difficulty getting back out.  OR, there are those times when the paddle out is brutal, but I do manage to make it out after a good 30 minute paddle, but once I'm out I'm so exhausted and noodle armed, I can no longer paddle for waves.   So don't be humiliated, the ocean humbles us all on occasion.

heh, I do remember Mike!  I remember being pissy until you lent me your board and next thing you know I am up and riding taking the waves from the Brazillian guy out there that was on everything until you expressed your dismay w/ my board and took yours backUnhappy.  I never asked the dimensions, I just remember if was your carbon fiber one that you had Micah make.  I dug it and now I know why!  The specs are pretty darn close to what he just shaped for me.]]> Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:18:28 +0000 http://www.surfingsandiego.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4264&PID=45220#45220
