Yeah,

Roberto and I rode in the Pass (PaG). Very strong outgoing tide and more wind in the channel meant we were litt and couldn't go downwind if we wanted to while riding the waves. I was getting a little confused. Many of the waves were standing waves. I looked down at the bottom at one point, and I covered zero real distance while on a wave for at least 5 seconds. That was pretty weird.

The water is more clear now than ever (I have been here 40 years).
Keeps getting better every year.
When I grew up, you couldn't see anything. It was pretty much peagreen/brownish soup. Now, it's 20 foot viz.

I had a dolphin surfing a wave with me today. He was right underneath me and turning on his back looking up at me. That was probably the most memorable water experience I have had in quite some time. He rode with me for maybe 10 seconds. Then he got ahead of me and was jumping over and over while surfing a wave, as if to say "Hey as.s munch, I don't need a board, kite, or anything to surf and jump... you are a joke... lol"
