Really fun day.  Big swell, surfed 36th Newport.  Got there at high tide, almost looked like too much water, but I gave it a shot since the lower streets were PACKED.  Only 2 guys out when I paddled. Caught some really fun lefts and rights at first.  Really haven't surfed this spot that big, I don't think. Wedgy, overhead, long lefts, wedge rights.  As the tide dropped it got steeper and SO packed. The pro J Merle Jones paddled out and put on a clinic beside me. Surfed for quite a while and got some fun ones. Finally ended on the right I was hunting the whole session.  Nice to have a good session again, and a great workout.
