Well... tomorrow it'll be 4.4. That's higher than last Sunday. Then, it was at 4.2 with a very friendly 2nd wave with a 40-foot wide foam pile with maybe a weak spot halfway. I say very friendly because even with my lack of skills, I surfed it many times and always got off voluntarily (well, maybe I should credit the new playboat then...). The only time I got flipped was when trying the small wave that's behind, the one that Louis had been on all day... 

I will be there tomorrow around noon, and I'm sure I won't be alone there...

Too late, too tired to go anywhere but local today.
I plan to hit the Champlain spot in the afternoon.

the wave was good today but the shoulder was not step and slow is a better hole the wave at this level.

Must be the age barrier...anyone can translate? My Babelfish is having an overall.

Talking about age barrier, my neighbor's friend is apparently adventurous and she is looking for a middle-aged male friend with inclinaison toward extreme sports...although my wife proposed to rent my services, I declined. Hence looking for a good sole. Note that I might change my mind once I see what she looks like...
Paul, was told she gives excellent back massages...

Hey... Who's going tonight (Tuesday)? Water is still high-ish (good for short boats) and it's warm out there. I'll try to be there at 18:00.
