I hit the peak wind at Ocean Beach, 4-6pm. 4.2, 8'2", 140lbs. WNW
30-35, almost straight onshore with mostly 2-4' waves, some 6
footers outside. Extremely intense sailing, tricky to get out. You
have to blaze down the beach parallel to shore, and snake your way
out around the ends of the swells. Then when you ride a wave, you
lose the wind if it's any bigger than waist high, cuz you're in the
lee of the swell. Water was bumpy as hell, cross chop comming from
all directions. I only lasted about an hour and a half, one other
guy broke a mast. About 8 sailors total. Water was warm! But the
rigging/derigging was a bitch! It's MORE windy in the parking lot,
anything not attached blows away, right now, into traffic. I just
threw everything inside and sorted it out at home.

        whew, what a rush!
