Last Friday was Ultimate. Let me explain:
Otter and I took the day off (10/5) and set off for a Strait surf mission. Missed the 1st ferry but managed to get to PA by 9am. Rolled out to the Elwha…low tide, small. Hung out for about 15 mins and watched the waves pick up. Decided to go suit up…by the time we walked back out to the river mouth, it was working. Stoked! Surfed for about 2 hours with Lib Tech. One guy blatantly dropped in on me…ruthless. Lib Tech makes sic boards though so it’s okay. Sic session, sunny, warm air, clean chest to head high waves.

After the Elwha, we ate in PA and decided to b-line it out to the Wedge. Hour and a half later we got the the lookout but couldn’t see the beach…shit was completely fogged in. We could hear waves though. Figured, we drove all this way, might as well hike down. By the time we hiked through the swamp and made it down to the beach it had cleared up and the sun came out. Sic! Damn that beach is beautiful. Maybe the best beach in WA.

Tide was going down but there was still some waves coming in. Waist to the occasional chest high set…surfed right on the wedgey wave. super fun, warm, crystal clear water…could see my shadow on the bottom of the ocean….no one ‘cept Otter and myself out there too. Had every wave to myself…bunch of good long rides.

On the way back home we stopped at 7 Cedars and blew a bunch of cash on craps. i think we were in that Casino for about 1/2 hour. in/out/lose cash. Made the ferry only cause it was delayed. Good thing cause we would’a missed the Hump show. Hump scarred me for life but most of it was entertaining.Managed to catch the last 5 or 6 songs of the Blakes show at the Croc. Got in free too. Those guys are rad live…check em out if you get a chance. Closed down the Whiskey Bar..manged to get a buzz and not pass out. We were awake for about 20 hours, 4 hours of surfing, 5 hours of driving. I slept really good that night.

So the Ultimate Friday recap: all time surf, craps, Hump, The Blakes for free, Whiskey Bar, sleep.
