Thanks je for picks

Got to Santa Cruz after close to 15 hour travel time
Up at 230 for 5am flight
Got evening session at davenport 4.7 and someone's head sets
A bit tiered and not in sync with conditions but well worth it.
Tomorrow and Thursday have good wind and swell

Today was good solid wind mid day 4.7 with lighter 5.3 late pm.
good size south swell with some logo high sets.
wind forecast is not great for Weekend.
With all pros here they tried to run some pro heats today but wind at Waddell fizzled. Some of the crew went to Davenport to sail.

The level of sailing in pro division is spectacular to watch live. the videos do not do justice to how hard these guys charge and they are all in for every wave. Even just free sailing.

Sam is hoping to run full event tomorrow. Weak forecast with NW wind 15-low 20's. Still good size south swell.

BTW the south swell at Waddell make a fairly hollow wave and big sets tend to mostly close out. Previous trip have been more of a NW wind swell can be quite big over mast high but an easier wave to ride.

Looks like some SUP action for the weekend with light winds and moderate swell for friday sat and sunday.
